'Sopranos' Locations Get Pilfered
Quote:
Were it not for the fact that The Sopranos was shot there, there is nothing intrincially interesting about Caldwell, or Wayne, or even Newark, New Jersey. I know this for a fact, as I was raised in New Jersey and have been to these places countless times. However, The Sopranos is such a force that is has turned these rundown places into tourist traps, where busloads of people come and take whatever they can get their hands on.
In what other situation would a go-go bar in Lodi, NJ, be a worldwide travel hub that has to remove all of the matchbooks and napkins from sight, for fear that people will want to own a piece of the fictional Bada Bing? How often before The Sopranos did people cruise the streets of Kearny looking for a pork store that doesn't exist?
All I'm saying is that The Sopranos is a big deal. And now it's coming to an end. Anyone have any ideas what's going to happen on Sunday?
