Ol'Homer doesn't think you need to worry for a few more years.

If this website were to ever run a contest where members could judge what photo of Hackensack best reflects their memories of the City, this one would have to be the winner.

Frank and Mario's was great.

How can you not agree with him?

A basic tenet of business management is that the decision makers must identify and analyze every option that is available to them no matter how popular the alternatives may be or may not be. Once the options are identified, you put them on a scale, weigh them and make your decision.
Looks like this was the case here.

Sorry there Col. Sanders; but, I think that General Poor would pull rank on you and leave you home for the barbecue.

I have some great come back lines; but, I think that the grumpy editor would call me out at the plate. Might be suspended for a few games too.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news; but, the Mayor Torres proposal is probably physically and fiscally a pipe dream. The Submarine Association members have done a wonderful job in attempting to preserve the sub and have created a noteworthy attraction for the City of Hackensack. However the time has come to face reality.
Naval vessels are  brought into dry dock for periodic maintenance due to the nature of their operation. The Ling has been sitting in the Hackensack River now for a few years less than half a century. The Hackensack River is tidal in Hackensack which means that the exterior of the Ling has been sitting in chemically laden salt water washed up the River from Newark Bay. In all likelihood there is structural damage to the hull and the Ling could regress from being an attraction to an environmental hazard.
If the Ling can't remain in it's current location and if it can't be realistically moved to an alternate location, then, sad to say there is only one realistic option.
