    New York area traffic while driving to Casa Soprano; The brownish gray CRV in front of me has Newfoundland and Labrador plates, the silver one ahead to the right has Nevada plates, and my truck is obviously registered in Pennsylvania. I have never seen so many out of state (and in the case of the one CRV, out of country) license plates in one area!

    This is how close I got to NYC; The blue marker is the location of my truck, and the red marker is the location of the Soprano mansion...

    And it handled a trip practically to New York City (not to mention idling in NYC rush hour), and back, without misfiring once!

    It's even automatically listed as "Sopranos House" in the Maps app on my iPhone...

    While the actual house was used for exterior shots in the series (interior scenes were done on a closed studio set in NYC), the property was given the fictional address of 655 Stag Trail Road (albeit still in North Caldwell), and you can see that address on Tony's driver's license in a season three episode where he gets pulled over for speeding...

    The culdesac on which the house is located seemed a lot bigger on TV than it did when I was actually parked in it...

    A very nice house, but not as iconic or imposing as the Soprano place...

    I do not know why the picture of Tony's mom's house turned out so weird; I believe I might had it set to "square"...

    :facepalm:

    Anyway, I didn't take a picture with the SLR because the living room is in the front of the house and there were people right there watching TV; I know they saw me take a picture, and they probably know the provenance of their house, but I felt like using the SLR would possibly bring unwanted attention. The strip club that served as the Bada Bing for the duration of the series (called Satin Dolls in real life) was like 20 minutes from the Soprano house, and I'm kinda regretting not going there...:(
