Follow NPR down New Jersey's tragic Passaic River

National Public Radio's Art Silverman locates the headwaters of New Jersey's
Passaic River and follows the waterway to the sea, through its industrial history
and layer-upon-layer of environmental abuses.

It's not a pretty story but it's lively and instructive, and it introduces us to a song
or two about the river and to a few quintessential New Jersey characters.

Listen to the story here. Then check out its video companion below.
