That part of NJ has changed a lot since then too. All the factories and industry that lined the Hudson are long gone. It's basically just the old Hess oil depot land that's left undeveloped, and even that got approved for a project after soil remediation is complete (which is admittedly a slow process). They fairly recently tore down an old driving range next to it too, but it's been sitting undeveloped for a while, likely due to the environmental clean up from the next lot. Aside from that it's actually really nice around there now.
