The New Newark
- 6/27/2006
I'm very sad to hear the bad comments on this site about Newark
I grew up in Newark and my family still lives and work in Newark, and the surrounding areas. My family and I have been looking for a house in Newark for the last several months, we now live in NYC.
I would love to move back to Newark, I believe that it is a great place to live and work! We believe that the great leadership of Mr. Cory Booker will overcome any past negativity and we are here to help in the fight.
We see the promise in the new ' Newark' and we believe in the great mayor who will take office this week.Yes, Newark has seen some hard times and there are some who will fight to keep Newark unsafe and sell drugs.
Unlike others who choose to bad mouth this great city we choose to fight and restore this great city to the glory it once was and will be again.
We are the doctors, police, lawyers, contractors and well educated children who came right out of the streets of Newark.
We

This is not a place for anyone to be spending time. Don't go to Newark unless you have to. Some very good restaurants, but you are taking your life in your hands going at

You ever heard of New Jersey being the state that is all in one.
Well it is
Newark is like New York / Los Angeles but small
If you looking to get your car stolen come here.
Newark is not a safe place to live it is extremely Dangerous!!!!!!!!
The reason why cause it is connect with two other cities
that have a high crime rate in the nation.
Those two cities are East Orange and Irvington.
So its like being in a crime-ridden Death Trap.
Everyone who lives there know its a Death

I grew up in Newark in the 80s. To this day, coming within 5 miles of the city makes me twitch. I hate it. Maybe my personal experience is skewed a bit, but my memories of the city include: being mugged at age 9 by two 12-year-olds; a dirty diaper left by the side of the community pool; roaches; uneducated, unmotivated, predatory people who will not or cannot think outside the "hood"; litter everywhere; at least one demolished, boarded-up, burnt-out building or vacant lot per block; not being able to play in the snow because of all the stray dogs (rather, what they leave behind). And on and on. I remember growing up and hearing tales of how dirty New York City was, but having worked in NYC for 9 years, I have to say I have yet to encounter an area as bad as Newark. Supposedly Newark has undergone a "renaissance" in recent years, but I don't buy it. Sure, they cleaned up one tiny area of it, near the NJ PAC, but I still get the desperate urge to escape when I drive through any part of
