Oops left out that Rahway is just south of Elizabeth & Newark and is prety
much as ugly.

If you really want to know what the area looks like watch the beginning
credits of the Soprano's on HBO. The scenes are mostly Newark & Harrison but
if you close your eyes Rahway and Elizabeth smell the same. I may be getting
confused with another show but I thought there was a scene in Sopranos that
showed The Rahway Federal Pen.. It's the only prison I know of with a
beautiful domed roof albeit surrounded by concertina wire.
