" Except when the pipe is busted"

Too bad that you washed the bricks. You were lucky enough to have held two original WHITE MANNA sliders.

The "steel beams" are called sheet piles.

Where was Tom Cruise when we needed him?!?!?
Last time I saw clouds like those was in the re-make of War Of The Worlds when ol' Tom was living under the Bayonne Bridge and managed to save the world.

Many moons ago the "Gino's property" on Essex Street was owned by a "character" named Irving Reingold. Back in the 1950's he operated an autmobile dealership at the site which was ultimately discontinued leaving the land vacant for many years until it was sold or leased to the fast food operation originally known as Gino's. This is the franchise started by Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts professional football team.

Mr. Reingold was also the entrepreneur who operated the New Bell discotheteque on Route 4 East past the Coach House Diner which brought great notoriety to the City of Hackensack with the introduction of male strippers. 

Those two police officers in the sixth photo down are doing one hell of a job.

There is an answer to your query. About 20 +/- years ago a soft covered book was published  which contained the history of all the school buildings in Hackensack.
I am sure that a copy is available through the Bd. of Ed or at the Johnson Library.

To put it in a gentlemanly manner, it appears that there may have been multiple violations of the Seventh Commandment as it pertains to this real estate transaction.
