Eight months ago Tony Soprano and his Jersey crew hung out at the fictional Satriale’s pork store for the last time, as HBO wrapped up the final season of “The Sopranos” mob drama.
Last month the life-sized pig on the top of the building came down, followed by the rest of the former storefront in Kearny, a working-class town across the Passaic River from Newark and about nine miles west of Manhattan.
"We whacked the pork store," says owner Manny Costeira, who leased the empty building to HBO.
Nine condo units will replace former storefront. The project is called "The Soprano," and prices range from $325,000 to $385,000. Construction is expected to start in the spring and would be finished in about a year.Costeira says he is still waiting for city approval before he can start selling, but he has commitments for three units.
