1:31Now PlayingEdgar Acosta, a 37-year employee of Deerbrook Fabrics, rides two Jitneys and leaves his house at 3:30 a.m. to open the embroidery factory for his employer Ed Parseghian.
Edgar Acosta woke up a little after 3 a.m., and he was out the door by 4.
He walked a mile up Main Avenue in Clifton to Van Houten Avenue, where he waited 10 minutes for a jitney bus. He climbed inside and bounced in the predawn dark to Union City, where he stepped into a bodega to buy a small cup of coffee. Then he caught a second jitney north, up Bergenline Avenue into Guttenberg.
He walked the sidewalk on 69th Street, stopping outside a one-story building where a faded sign bolted to the yellow brick reads “Stitch-O-Matic.” But that company, like hundreds of other embroidery factories in New Jersey, closed years ago.
