Featured Historical Landmarks:
- Northern New Jersey Locales: The towns of Wharton & Morristown frame the video's deeply grounded, regional aesthetic.
- The Tomahawk Diner (Defunct): Formerly located on Route 46 in nearby Roxbury Township, this classic vintage diner served as the emotional centerpiece for the video's service station and diner sequences.
- The Morristown Train Station: Located at 122 Morris Street. There has been a train station on this site since 1838. The current station was built in 1913.
Production & Preservation Note: Lensed on location in late 1983, this masterpiece directed by Edd Griles captures an exceptionally authentic, textured portrait of early-1980s northern New Jersey. By utilizing the small-town architectural fabrics of Wharton and the Morristown area, the production established a timeless visual shorthand for Americana that perfectly matched the track's emotional depth. While iconic fixtures like the beloved Tomahawk Diner have since succumbed to modern commercial development, the area neighborhoods and street corridors remain remarkably well-preserved, standing as a nostalgic monument to the golden era of narrative music videos.
Before The Sopranos Filmed Here
Long before
The Sopranos used northern New Jersey for filming locations, there was Cyndi Lauper's music video
Time After Time. Although parts of the northwest New Jersey area where this music video was filmed have changed drastically, most of the specific filming locations in Wharton and at the Morristown train station seen in the music video look the same today as they did back in 1983.
On a personal note, this music video's filming locations are in the area where I grew up!
