Newark NJ was built to be a mini Manhattan. Back in the day Newark had its own Broadway where the shows from NYC Broadway would actually be shown in Newark first to get the response and feedback so they could rework/improve the show for NYC theaters. Penn Station in Newark was built all the way back in 1935 and it was the main hub for the Pennsylvania Railroads train network. Newark was affluent back in the day as well, don't believe me? Stroll through Forest Hill and you will see some of the most beautiful homes in all of NJ. In fact Newark was such a great place to live people of all races, creeds and cultures lived there together peacefully. You had Italian and Irish immigrants along with Jewish and black folks, it was a real melting pot, a great place to live and grow up. Then the race riots happened and forever changed the face of NJ. Every part of NJ that is now 'ghetto' once had wealthy people living there and had beautiful homes/stores/neighborhoods before the riots. Plainfield, East Orange, Orange, Newark, Trenton, Camden...these were all nice towns with affluent areas that had beautiful homes and bustling down towns. So when you see all the beautiful old buildings amongst the boarded up, bombed out places, just know that Newark was once a beautiful and well respected city. I do believe with the right leadership it could be again. Get all these liars, gas lighters and corrupt people out of government in NJ and Newark will prosper again
You have no idea of which you speak. Forest hills was dramatically segregated, the cutoff was Bloomfield Ave. Puritans founded the colony that would become Newark and I doubt there was any thought as to being a mini Manhattan lol. Stop making shit up. Pittsburgh also has its own theater district with an amazing historical district. Is it a mini Manhattan too? Silly person
It seems like they are trying to build Newark back up again,only because alote of people from NYC is coming here to live as far as I see,it's all about money and politics I think

NJ in whole, was and is and will always be corrupt. The only way to deal with the corruption is leave NJ behind and move out. There is absolutely no hope. Ever. As far as Newark, it should be wiped completely out. Kinda like how Chernobyl is. No inhabitants whatsoever. Folks from Newark attitude "you in my neighborhood, now get out!!!" What I can't fathom is for the ones who do work, many of those have good paying jobs at the busiest airport. Newark liberty international airport. And never leave Newark! It's a mentality in Newark. Prostitution all over and I have literally seen a black man and woman literally engaged in sex over a signal box on the street for every single person to see. I was an uber driver with passengers in my vehicle and the woman passenger was completely fixated on these two. She couldn't take her eyes off of them. As if this is absolutely normal. Sickening. I was almost equally sickened by my passenger. NJ politicians are corrupt to the bone! I think it maybe due to organized crime through out NJ. I dont want to use the "M" word. End of rant..
I used to live in Newark over a decade ago. When you're living there you don't realize how bad it is but you know that it's bad. When you move out and you move far away to a suburb and then you look back at what it is that you moved from you realize just how bad it really is.
Bro that shit crazy how different the world really is. Newark is a damn trap. I've seen good people turn bad. Man even friends kill 1 another, Freaking all kinds of foul mindless shit. It's really sad looking back.
Yeah there are a lot of great suburbs in NJ, I grew up one. Crazy to take a drive to Paterson or Newark and see such a stark contrast in a short distance. The state I love has a lot of rough spots, Nick Johnson has some good videos driving in areas that seem to have lost a lot of hope like Camden, Chester. Tough to see but necessary
Me currently. Born and raised in Newark. Moved to the suburbs that's almost 2 hours away and I came back to visit. I couldn't believe that all of it was considered normal to me.
I spent most of the mid to late seventies at 835 Broadway a mile or so from the train overhead train track just before Belleville. I have great memories of Newark and really enjoyed my time there. I remember how the Puerto Ricans used to cook on fourth of July all up and down Broadway. Food everywhere 😋
@@nwrkjrz9735 Lol, we were not allowed to go anywhere near Grafton Ave projects back then. I also remember some kind of factory behind us, maybe leather factory or something. Verona was up the street and Irving was almost in front of our apartment. Great times and friends from Newark. Does anyone remember the big hamburgers at a place called "Gino's "?
Dangerous Streets because a lot of punks have guns. This was a beautiful city once, men going to work to support their families. Those are the real tough guys.
So true. My family moved to PA so if I go to this area of NJ, I cannot defend myself from these heathens thanks to NJ Democratic gun laws. Honest people are at a disadvantage while these people can run free
Outside of downtown, Newark has really downgraded in the past few years in my opinion. Roads are horrible, and the littering is out of control at this point.
I have to be honest. Flying into Newark Airport doe's not show the true beauty found in the streets of Newark. I saw many houses that were perfect for my family and I. There was plenty of space for my kids to play outside and go to school. Nice parks to walk the dog at night and have a picnic lunch in the summer. I noticed there was a drive by street pharmacy where several drug vendors displayed their wares. My wife and I are sold on Newark. We picked out a couple nice houses during the drive and hope they are still available. Thank you for showing us Newark.
@@adamasimolowo8285 North, I think. I just don't want to be too close to Rt.1 - 9 and listen to all the truck noise. Anywhere except downtown and around Broad St. Too crowded but still lots of nice neighborhoods nearby !
Such an odd mix in the neighborhoods. Run down, burned out and tagged up houses/buildings, turn the corner and nice lawns, clean houses and new cars. Turn the corner again and trash and goons outside.
Damn, I don't remember Newark being this run down. Im from paterson and moved out of jersey 10 years ago. I used to spend alot of time in Newark, many friends in Irvington too. I swear you get used to being in the hood. Its normal to you. I used to live in 4th ward, and people thought I was crazy for living there, but it was whatever. MIND YOUR BUSINESS, never ever buy borrow anything even a chair from someone in the hood, keep money out of equation and you good.
Down town you won't recognize looks like Hoboken now. Some projects have been knocked down and replaced with nicer rentals. but yeah alot of places are still run down.

Imagine if all the old projects like Prince st, Scudder, Hayes, 7th Ave, Dayton st, Seth Boyden, Lil Bricks, Bradley Court, Baxter Terrace, Brick Towers and Grafton were still up. Now that would be a tour of the REAL Newark. I think the only ones left are Hyatt, Pennington, Crane, The Spires and Georgia King Village. I have great memories growing up in Brick City.
I only seen grove street that's irvington, in this video, that's basically the same streets same people. Everybody know each other. That area it's all hoovers and grape street crips. And that wasn't Manhattan that was jersey city and Hoboken harison and union city you were looking at. I use to think that same thing until i actually seen everything with a telescope lol

@@al5603 Yeah grove street was irvington. But when i used a telescope, it was all union city hoboken harison and jersey city. I remember when the twin towers got bomb it wasn't showing. I only could see manhattan only if i'm in jersey city or hoboken not from way down this way. It's hella far from here
I flew into Newark airport one time to visit friends in New York and family in Pennsylvania. Got a hotel right next to the airport. My friend in New York was like "wait, you're spending the night in Newark?" I was like "yeah, but it's an airport hotel." He was like "oh, ok, it should be fine then, just don't get too far from the airport." No problems there. That didn't come until my trip was over and I was headed back to the airport to return my rental car. I got off an exit or two early (coming from Pennsylvania) to grab a bite to eat before my flight. I pulled up to a white castle and before I stepped out of the car I could tell the place was packed but there wasn't a single white person in there. And there was bullet proof glass behind the counter. I was like "I don't think I want to go in there." So I opted for the drive through. But I got panhandled by a crackhead while I was trying to place my order. Anyway, I got my food, and went on my way. But it turned out to be one of those exits where you can get off the highway but can't get back on. So I had to try and find an entrance to the airport on surface streets. I thought I had driven into a war zone. There were falling down buildings, dumpsters on fire, and somebody had piled a bunch of old furniture in the middle of an intersection. I had to drive up on the sidewalk to get around it. I thought I was about to be jacked for sure. I've been to the actual third world (Africa, India, Mexico, and Guatemala) and I've never seen anything worse or been more on edge...
That recent? I'm surprised. But its getting slowly turned around. Its getting better so NYers move over from Manhattan & $$$ taxes here! NJ pretty smart. U will see. Sorry for harrowing experience! Now I go to Philly. Kensington the worst but it will rise too.
If you’re scared just say so. Lock your doors, roll your windows up, and all of the foul shit you guys say on the Internet, never say it in person. You’ll be just fine.
@@showmestatefinest5412 Funny how people assume anyone can afford those apartments just because they are... apartments. I'm sure those people walking on the streets can afford those. So not middle class. 🙄
@@narata1541 like i said it's far from middle class so miss me with that. It's all based on property value and an area with drugs, burglary, property damage and a high murder rate falls in the low property value range so no middle class 🙄

It’s one thing to grow up poor, like I did but it’s another thing to throw trash on the streets and destroy everything in these neighborhoods for no other reason than to act cool in front of your friends! Parents need to do a better job raising their kids and teaching them that this is what is acceptable and what’s not unacceptable!
Nothing to fear making content because there are gang affiliations everywhere in the music industry Hollywood and some of the most illicit people are the wealthy socialite elitists politicians as in the Epstein category.

Reminded me of some scenes from The Wire TV series. I have childhood memories of shopping in Newark's fine stores when I was very young. I grew up in Jersey City. One thing that has always bothered me is how people choose to throw trash on the street, paint graffiti , and make where they live ugly.
I GREW UP IN 7TH AVE PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE MOST DREADED PLACE IN NEWARK...PRINCE ST. PROJECTS WERE DETECTIVES WERE STRIPPED AND CARS WERE DEMOLISHED, FACTS!
Some of your film footage was another city. Remember Newark is the Largest city in New Jersey. Newark has been slighted for many years by people that are not even from there. I was born in Newark and grew up in the surrounding area. There are many areas of Newark that are still very nice and Newark is making a comeback. You can go anywhere in the USA and whether you are White, Black , Green .....Folks will tell you that they are from Newark and PROUD OF IT ! I am forever proud of Newark !
I agree I was born in Saint Michaels I went to Franklin School on Park Ave Webster Junior High where there was maybe fifteen of us white kids in the whole school I was raised on Highland Ave and Park Ave now 65 and bring my grandchildren to the old neighborhood just to show them where I will always call home my ashes will be spread on Boot Hill aka Lake Street and Bloomfield Ave
My grandparents bought a home on 14th St in 1950's and my mothers parents in Irvington. I was with with both families, all the time. I tell my children about how we had neighbors who were White and the majority of the students in school were White. They still don't believe me!! So, I showed them graduation books! They still don't believe. When I see both cities now, it's sad!!
This area reminds me of Lawrence MA. I grew up about 10 miles away. It’s sad to see many areas look so run down and depressing with trash and graffiti everywhere.
What shocked me as an electrical engineer from Germany is the poor infrastructure of what is said to be the best country in the world. The electrical and internet wiring above ground is shocking.There is almost nowhere else in Europe.
I was a New Jersey Land Surveyor and worked in Newark a lot. Everybody was nice to me when I was working. Plainfield, however was an entirely different story. I retired in Oklahoma.
My mother is from Belleville and father from Harrison. They were ~10 during the Newark riots. My mom said she remembers being scared that the “bad people” were going to riot in Belleville. People downplay the significance of the 1967 riots across America.
As people's morals decay so goes the cities. Newark, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, LA, SF, etc is a reflection of the lack of morals in the lives of people that live there.
@@bluecyclone7077 You go to Newark and see for yourself and I be you change your point of view. Shit were ever there are ghettos it's the same shit everyday.
Who remembers the Erie Lackawanna/ Conrail railyard at 4th Avenue and McCarter Highway? It had three tracks going into a building right next to the NX/ Annie Bridge. That's the "jackknife" bascule triunnion railroad bridge that's been pointing up forever since Conrail closed it in 1977. The building was Atlas office furniture supplies. Later Frey Industries. They and a chemical company at 3rd and Passaic had so much business you always saw Railroad boxcars and tanker cars lined up alongside Route 21 on the double decker section. Also there was a dangerous hairpin left exit curve for Chester Avenue. The exit literally passed between two pillars. It was eliminated after so many accidents.
This will sound crazy but Newark was wayyy worst than it is now. It’s actually moving in the right direction under the current mayor. Back in the 90s and early 00s it was the murder capital, car theft capital, drug gangs on every corner, and violence everywhere. It was a dark and scary place.
I have lived here for 12 years. I previously lived in Bergen Co. This is a real City with all of the art, social tensions, politics dangers and wonders that are part of a real city. I take the risks along with the rewards and would not trade Newark for dumps like Bergenfield, Dumont , Tenefy, none of which any access to art, culture, history or care for community development. To you people who live in Bergen county and are afraid of Newark, may I suggest that you are simply afraid of an evolving society, of the influence of immigrant populations and have forgotten why literature, art and civics are important

Да, всё плохо а так хорошо! 😆
The food in Newark is fire in some parts.
@@Kehwanna Brasilian food?
@@ruipinto4144 I was thinking Mexican, Italian, and BBQ, but Brazilian sounds like it would great.
They are not loitering, they are scamming.
I flew into Newark airport one time to visit friends in New York and family in Pennsylvania. Got a hotel right next to the airport. My friend in New York was like "wait, you're spending the night in Newark?" I was like "yeah, but it's an airport hotel." He was like "oh, ok, it should be fine then, just don't get too far from the airport." No problems there. That didn't come until my trip was over and I was headed back to the airport to return my rental car. I got off an exit or two early (coming from Pennsylvania) to grab a bite to eat before my flight. I pulled up to a white castle and before I stepped out of the car I could tell the place was packed but there wasn't a single white person in there. And there was bullet proof glass behind the counter. I was like "I don't think I want to go in there." So I opted for the drive through. But I got panhandled by a crackhead while I was trying to place my order. Anyway, I got my food, and went on my way. But it turned out to be one of those exits where you can get off the highway but can't get back on. So I had to try and find an entrance to the airport on surface streets. I thought I had driven into a war zone. There were falling down buildings, dumpsters on fire, and somebody had piled a bunch of old furniture in the middle of an intersection. I had to drive up on the sidewalk to get around it. I thought I was about to be jacked for sure. I've been to the actual third world (Africa, India, Mexico, and Guatemala) and I've never seen anything worse or been more on edge...
When was this?
@@mickibirch3571 I would say probably around 2015
That recent? I'm surprised. But its getting slowly turned around. Its getting better so NYers move over from Manhattan & $$$ taxes here! NJ pretty smart. U will see. Sorry for harrowing experience! Now I go to Philly. Kensington the worst but it will rise too.
If you’re scared just say so. Lock your doors, roll your windows up, and all of the foul shit you guys say on the Internet, never say it in person. You’ll be just fine.
@@tvworks3861 You're right.
I was born and raised In Newark and it has changed tremendously to me. I moved from Newark 29 yrs ago and still have friends there
And family
Somehow they manage to always have nice, newer cars lining the streets though
Lol
Kause everybody in Newark be goin juggin 🥷🏽🥷🏽
Apsolutly right some of the blacks thing having a nice car is cool but they don't have a pot to piss in no class ignorance at it's best
CJ get back to the Grove we need you lol
@@dinoc404 isnt it cheaper to have a car than a house in USA?
Really nice 3 story houses at 7:17.
just a nice middle class neighborhood in the whole video :)
@@7.0SLO those were apartments. A home in each floor, nothing middle class about it
@@showmestatefinest5412 Funny how people assume anyone can afford those apartments just because they are... apartments. I'm sure those people walking on the streets can afford those. So not middle class. 🙄
@@narata1541 like i said it's far from middle class so miss me with that. It's all based on property value and an area with drugs, burglary, property damage and a high murder rate falls in the low property value range so no middle class 🙄
@@showmestatefinest5412 these low property value houses are going for 700k each with about 15k property taxes.
This brings back memories, I went to Essex County College in Newark and lived there for about 6 yrs. This was in the 90's when it was much worse
Who misses the New Jersey Nets?
Me my whole childhood was there before I moved.
Man you know how many games I went 2. Fuck Brooklyn lol
They was the "Long Island Nets" before they were in New Jersey. 💯
@@alphawolfafrika2740 Long Island don’t need no teams because they are basically part of NYC but NJ is it’s own state
JASON KIDD!!
Another Great Video. Thanks for sharing.
My father born 1933 grew up here, he said it was a war zone.
Yes, after the 1968 riots - before that, lots of Italians lived there. Still have quite a few around Bloomfield Ave.
It's a pretty good neighborhood
@@paulsawczyc5019 stop making things up goofy he literally said his father grew up there and it was still a war zone
Newark wasnt bad until the late 60s. He was in his mid 30 already
I'm from NYC and we used to go to Newark to eat portugese food, and buy records.
thank you for liking my country's food
I love your country, food and Amalia Rodriguez. Is that how you spell it?
@@geneytube18 Seriously? Thank you very much! the fado houses have already opened again, were closed by Covid, but there is already fado all over Lisbon, and new restaurants! thanks for the choice. And I also love the US, especially NYC.
@@geneytube18 that's how you say the name of the diva Amália
That's ironbound
Brick 🧱 City baby been through every spot he rode through.
What a disgrace that there are places like this in the United States of America.
Amen
It’s one thing to grow up poor, like I did but it’s another thing to throw trash on the streets and destroy everything in these neighborhoods for no other reason than to act cool in front of your friends! Parents need to do a better job raising their kids and teaching them that this is what is acceptable and what’s not unacceptable!
That is exactly the problem: the parents are even worst compared to the kids.
I lived on Izzy in 2015-2016. It was hard but I have a lot of love for that neighborhood. People looked out for their neighbors there.
yo thanks for making content i’m sure most of us are too scared to do hope you don’t get hurt while filming
Nothing to fear making content because there are gang affiliations everywhere in the music industry Hollywood and some of the most illicit people are the wealthy socialite elitists politicians as in the Epstein category. They are supposed to be better than those of us here the lower echelon of Newark NJ.

Reminded me of some scenes from The Wire TV series. I have childhood memories of shopping in Newark's fine stores when I was very young. I grew up in Jersey City. One thing that has always bothered me is how people choose to throw trash on the street, paint graffiti , and make where they live ugly.
I used to live in Newark up on 7th Ave when I first moved to Jersey from NY. It was crazy bad.
7th ave projects was war zone very rough spot in the 70s 80s
@@nwrkjrz9735 yes my uncle told me about it
I GREW UP IN 7TH AVE PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE MOST DREADED PLACE IN NEWARK...PRINCE ST. PROJECTS WERE DETECTIVES WERE STRIPPED AND CARS WERE DEMOLISHED, FACTS!
@@tenhebrewexecutioners341 OMG.
Some of your film footage was another city. Remember Newark is the Largest city in New Jersey. Newark has been slighted for many years by people that are not even from there. I was born in Newark and grew up in the surrounding area. There are many areas of Newark that are still very nice and Newark is making a comeback. You can go anywhere in the USA and whether you are White, Black , Green .....Folks will tell you that they are from Newark and PROUD OF IT ! I am forever proud of Newark !
All of this was filmed in Brick City I was born and raised here. #WhenYouKnow #YouKnow
I agree I was born in Saint Michaels I went to Franklin School on Park Ave Webster Junior High where there was maybe fifteen of us white kids in the whole school I was raised on Highland Ave and Park Ave now 65 and bring my grandchildren to the old neighborhood just to show them where I will always call home my ashes will be spread on Boot Hill aka Lake Street and Bloomfield Ave
Tru dat, I'm from the Iron bound, brick city stand up💯🙏✊
no film
Thanks for another great production C 🙏👍🚨
I got into 2 fights on broad in Newark, fucking crazy city
My grandparents bought a home on 14th St in 1950's and my mothers parents in Irvington. I was with with both families, all the time. I tell my children about how we had neighbors who were White and the majority of the students in school were White. They still don't believe me!! So, I showed them graduation books! They still don't believe. When I see both cities now, it's sad!!
I think i heard your GPS in the beginning say “GTFOH NOW!”
Thak you for the films aod best regards from Poland..
Thanks in advance for you reply Creetings. Made in Poland...
А в Польше прав тот, у кого хуй больше.
This area reminds me of Lawrence MA. I grew up about 10 miles away. It’s sad to see many areas look so run down and depressing with trash and graffiti everywhere.
good video a hug from Brazil
Not all bad, it’s great city🇺🇸👏
My old hood Brick City ,New Jersey
What shocked me as an electrical engineer from Germany is the poor infrastructure of what is said to be the best country in the world. The electrical and internet wiring above ground is shocking.There is almost nowhere else in Europe.
CONTAMINATED WATER AND RADIO WAVES OVERHEAD CAUSES AGGRESSION HENCE MURDERS.THEY HAVEN'T UPGRADED SINCE THE JEWISH PPL MOVED OUT
Used to be the car theft capital of the world!
I see you strolling down those number blocks. Springfield and South Orange Ave.
I live in Elizabeth and remembering back in the days when me and my boys would go to Fairmont and Springfield Ave to the weed spot
🚬🐸💨
Sad it still is the same spot
I live in Newark, they are fixing all the streets now and building new houses it’s much better!
He just filmed this a month ago. Its not old.
In New Jersey you need a certificate of occupancy for a change of property owner. Salvaging houses there is just too risky.
An a lot of those owners collected the insurance money then dipped
I went there once and got delayed in traffic because of a homicide investigation.
I guarantee you if those people move out the city would fix that neighborhood up
My city born and raised, shit is different now #brickcity #973 #newarknj #essexcounty
I was a New Jersey Land Surveyor and worked in Newark a lot. Everybody was nice to me when I was working. Plainfield, however was an entirely different story. I retired in Oklahoma.
This is what government dependence looks like
I live in Elizabeth, NJ. Newark scares me.
Robbed at gun point and nearly physically attacked by a bad man on my way to work at Prudential. 1980.
My grandfather and I were also robbed at gunpoint in 1980 on Raymond Blvd and Chapel Street. They shot my grandfather but he didn’t die, thank God.
My mother is from Belleville and father from Harrison. They were ~10 during the Newark riots. My mom said she remembers being scared that the “bad people” were going to riot in Belleville. People downplay the significance of the 1967 riots across America.
You should pop over to Irvington.
I am glad i live in Western europe.
It's good living but it's boring as hell in Western Europe bro
coming to a neighborhood near you!
Europe boring as hell. Unless it’s England maybe.
@@crimepays8358 Europe boring? I bet you never been there pls stop. Spain, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden are very nice countries
In the next 30-40 years with the islamisation it becomes hell on earth.
Reminds me of Franklin Park in Detroit where I grew up!

As people's morals decay so goes the cities. Newark, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, LA, SF, etc is a reflection of the lack of morals in the lives of people that live there.
all a result of DECADES of democrat leadership.
Newark: It's like Detroit, on a good day but with higher taxes.
On a good day right. It's probably worst than Detroit. But they are all the same really.
@@bricks-ls1nm I wish that was true but Detroit is one of the worst Newark is safe in comparison
Wrong answer in deed ! No comparison between the 2 cities.

Who remembers the Erie Lackawanna/ Conrail railyard at 4th Avenue and McCarter Highway? It had three tracks going into a building right next to the NX/ Annie Bridge. That's the "jackknife" bascule triunnion railroad bridge that's been pointing up forever since Conrail closed it in 1977.
The building was Atlas office furniture supplies. Later Frey Industries.
They and a chemical company at 3rd and Passaic had so much business you always saw Railroad boxcars and tanker cars lined up alongside Route 21 on the double decker section. Also there was a dangerous hairpin left exit curve for Chester Avenue. The exit literally passed between two pillars. It was eliminated after so many accidents.
I like watching these videos cause it makes me feel like I'm there without actually being there
Спасибо за видео честные. А то наши эмигранты, только красивые места показывают.
I live in Jersy but often shop downtown Newark I love the stands downtown and they have an shop with real old jams,on one if those side streets
Halsey st, by the old Macy's was the 🪝hook up street, vendor Harold on corner of market & Halsey, check check check it out, 😀Harold.
I understand why its called the corner store now. Almost all the others are close and the one on the corner is the liquor store

That is a Porsche.
This only covers a small portion of the city. Doesn’t travel far South, no East, mostly West, no North and none of the Central Ward is covered.
SO-CALLED THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES, YOU NEED AN OVERALL VIEW. NOT TOO MANY WALK BECAUSE OF BEING SEEN AS A MARK UNLESS YOU ARE A RESIDENT
I got robbed watching this
Lmao
I used to cop dope there. All the people you see standing in the street sell dope and coke. Oh the memories 😅
This will sound crazy but Newark was wayyy worst than it is now. It’s actually moving in the right direction under the current mayor. Back in the 90s and early 00s it was the murder capital, car theft capital, drug gangs on every corner, and violence everywhere. It was a dark and scary place.
💯
It was until this year, crime shot back up again💯
Hope you are very good CharlieBo 🚗

I have lived here for 12 years. I previously lived in Bergen Co. This is a real City with all of the art, social tensions, politics dangers and wonders that are part of a real city. I take the risks along with the rewards and would not trade Newark for dumps like Bergenfield, Dumont , Tenefy, none of which any access to art, culture, history or care for community development. To you people who live in Bergen county and are afraid of Newark, may I suggest that you are simply afraid of an evolving society, of the influence of immigrant populations and have forgotten why literature, art and civics are important
