| This Hess Gas station on the Harrison - Newark border was used in several scenes. Many of the meetings Big Pussy had were filmed in the parking lot, often overlooking the bridge seen in the background. Across the river, at the extreme left of the photo is the restaurant where Big Pussy tailed Christopher with the shipment of stolen Pokeymon cards. Three blocks east of the gas station is La Pizza where police discovered that Tony's son AJ was responsible for trashing the school gym. I guess we can say it's in the heart of Soprano land! |
