RE: (erielack) Benson St Station

In reading the article, I'm particularly disturbed by the comments of the people at the bottom. Apparently, all the "well-to-do" folks in the neighborhood (Glen Ridge is a fairly affluent locale) want to turn the station into something "more appealing" to the community - such as a coffee bar and/or a gelato stand. WHA?!?

Get over it, folks. It's a railroad station, and rather historic. Preserve it as a railroad station. If you want your precious mocha lattes, build a stand in the now vacant parking lot across the street.

My $0.02, as always. :)
