Editor's Notes
Up until 1950’s Hackensack was a premier shopping district of Northern NJ anchored by two major department stores; Sears Roebuck and Arnold Constable. But as the automobile culture dominated the construction of suburban style malls like Garden State Plaza and Bergen Mall catalyzed the decline of Hackensack’s Main Street. Main Street was not competing with the hundreds of stores and parking facilities that the suburban malls offered. And as time went on Main Street lost some of its charm and appeal that it once had. I will now turn the presentation over to Kareem who will be discussing the prominent assets of Hackensack.
