If someone would be willing to draft up a generic letter and post it hear, or anywhere the public has access to it, I think more folks would send one to CVS. Having no real connection to this landmark, does not lessen it's importance in regards to forming memories. More and more these days one area is being stripped of it's unique character due to these large corporations. Sucks.

Actually, it's going to be moved to a marine park in NJ, right next to where it was berthed for 2o something odd years when it was in service. So it's going home so to speak and will not be cut up and scrapped. Barge will take it home to NJ sometime in the near future. I'll miss it but at least it's getting a second chance.

Why even try.........

One sticking point left--they have to find someone willing to move it from the circle to MMA to be loaded on a barge. Moran Tugs has already agreed to take it to Bayonne if they can somehow get it to MMA.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
