I can't picture Tony going through an EZ pass lane. The way he grabs the toll ticket is boss, and one of the most iconic scenes.

People who never been to the tri-state area of NYC have no clue how hard this must've been. It would take multiple trips even if you are familiar with the area. This is very impressive. The skyline has changed so very much, as did our highways, etc. I'll never forget the first time I was in NYC, coming from PA, 78, coming over the Newark Bay Bridge on 78 and suddenly seeing the megalopolis of North NJ, Manhattan, and even Brooklyn. I also saw Lady 🗽 with her back to me, facing the Verazzano Bridge, greeting the world (back then people arrived by boat, into the NY harbor). If you've never been to NYC, I recommend going at least once. I'd never live in Manhattan but it's amazing to visit there.

Seeing the change of Twin Towers to that shit stained glass dildo just leaves me disappointed in New York for not standing up to those savages and the bloody US government.

Of course i wanted more seasons of Sopranos too, but we are blessed with what we got. The show ran to it's full potential and avoided to get stale. It ended strong and that can't be said about many shows. Also we got "Many Saints of New Ark" as a small bonus.

Only NJ residents will detect driving from the Lincoln Tunnel to Caldwell and driving past the "DRIVE SAFELY" storage tanks in Carteret is a little out of the way. I cannot drive on the Pulaski Skyway without thinking of these opening scenes. Yes, out of sequence. But highly interesting. The very first time I saw these opening scenes and saw the ceiling of the Lincoln Tunnel I was hooked. I've been looking at those tiles for over 50 years. Missed the NY/NJ tiles in the middle though.
