New Jersey Without The Sopranos

After eight years, New Jersey will soon have to face a life without The Sopranos. The long-running show is about to enter its last season when part two of season 6 returns April 8, 2007. The end of the series will be leaving residents and business owners with a city missing of mafia actors, not to mention a little short on cash.

Generally, the show is filmed at a New York City soundstage. However, many scenes are shot in New Jersey to depict a more realistic atmosphere. Majority of the residents of New Jersey welcome The Sopranos since they get a chance to peek during filming, as well as take pictures of actors and earn some extra cash. In fact, the building beside the fictional mafia hang out Satriale's, The Irish-American Association, has been getting $20,000 in rental fees just for taking down its Irish flag and putting up an Italian flag during filming. In addition, the city has collected permit fees amounting to $76,650.
