Paterson is a total shit storm and will never get better. You have a bunch of shit heads living there that just dont give a fuck about their neighborhoods.
There was some hispanic kid that sucker punched an old man last year and he gets sentenced next month. The kid is a piece of garbage and kind of sums up what paterson is all about. Hopefully the scumbag gets stabbed in the passaic county jail.
Simply put, Paterson has absolutely nothing to offer. At least Newark has a train station that goes to NYC and 2 colleges , rutgers and njit and the Prudential center.
Years ago, paterson was a nice working class hood with quite a few italians.
