You want to hear something...Haledon is just as bad as Paterson.......Not N. Haledon, by Manchester HS, but where the river flows and down Belmont Ave.. there is prob. more riff raff in that area than all of downtown Paterson.....If anyone lives in this general area and/ or knows what I am talking about is true, they will agree w/ me.....All the thugs,gangs,lowlifes, dealers, and riff raff took their "business" up that area ....Not sure if it's still there but there was/used to be one or more strip bars back in the 90's in that area and if you went and avoided injury, it was a miracle..you are targeted as soon as you go in that area by cops #1 and and drug dealers #2.......I'm gonna say it bluntly, If you are white, you most likely have no business in that area anyway.....Sorry if I have said it in a waythat may offend anyone, I don't mean it that way at all....just saying the truth....the last thing I would want to read in the newspaper, is an obituary of someone on this board, all in the name of catching a fish ....I've heard the horror stories of kids going to these places who are from Bergen county and ended up dead,robbed and/or beaten up.....No fish is worth any of that ......there are plenty of other spots on the Passaic to fish without risking your safety
