The "E" logos around Pavonia are for Erie, as in railroad and canal. That terminus was called Erie before it became
Pavonia Path station.

Why isn't there a a big bronze statue of Alexander Hamilton in the historic Hamilton Park? When is this park going to be returned to it's historic hay-day? Or was its historic significance removed from the historic registry altogether? These things keep me up at night!

I was asking myself the same question and did some research and found out what it meant. I actually was thinking of starting a thread where we could post those types of questions that keep us up at night, kind of like where did the Basic gargoyle come from? What does the E at the Pavonia path station means, stuff like that.

Yes, and no, not exactly. Erie was the name of the station stop on the H&M tubes (PATH), where a passenger connected with the Erie Railroad. It is located in the area that was historically know as Pavonia. As stated on the website link in the last post, the Erie Railroad moved it's station to Hoboken. It was a rail-ferry link like the C&R terminal in LSP and the Hoboken Terminal, and was apparently a pretty grand building in it's heyday, but dilapidated by the time it was torn down. My neighbor, who is an old-timer says that the whole waterfront down there and Exchange Place was full of rats. And that was not so long ago.

On the pillars in the PATH station there are Es at the top, same as how Hoboken has the letter H ... Any idea what the E stands for?
