The Chatterbox is officially gone

It was a 50s 60s themed drive-n, hosted bike nights and occasionally had car hops. Now it's a WaWa.

Yes, it is closed - it happened a while ago. The demolition was March 2021, I believe.

It was quite the local news item:

That sucks big time!

Loved that place. Was real upset when I heard they were closing down.

It was special to me in that one of the owner's ran a hometown drive in called Johnny and Hanges back in Paterson. It was a real American Graffitti kind of place. Burgers, fries, hot dogs and shakes. Rock and roll in the parking lot every Friday and Saturday night.
