Can confirm the above, lived there for 18 years.

I appreciate how you're handling this whole thing, you seem to still be positive even though you're going through this situation. Keep it up man.

For the record, they won't release the car until it's registered. You have to go to 22 Franklin St to get a release form and they won't give you the release form unless your paperwork is up to date.

Yep. Sucks. I got towed once and another time ticketed.

If this gets approved which is most likely won’t unless the design changes, height gets lowered and some affordable housing units construction could start as late as this year or early next year based on what the attorney said last meetings. This project grew very popular amongst this Reddit. Some of these projects will stumble they will fail but some will join the national Newark building in the sky! Fingers crossed everyone

Thank you for this comment, it is very thorough and super helpful. Definitely will keep these in mind planning for my moving in. And I also hope to be able to view all the beauties near it after settling down.

100% Lower Roseville is the better, safer hood. Where you mentioned (around 6th Ave—like where Park and Roseville meet at the Bravo market) is not one of the better sections of that area but it’s also not terrible and I would walk there at 10PM and not be too concerned. There has been a bit of violence on that stretch of Roseville over the last 5 years or so but nothing compared to the neighborhood west of University Hospital, which is IMO, one of the places where there is consistent gun violence and a lot of gang activity.

Hopefully you are street smart and you know how to stay aware of your surroundings. When you live in Newark, you will learn street-by-street which are the good ones to travel down (on foot or cycle). Roseville has a lot of families that have lived there for generations and most of the numbered streets are fine. I would plan your route home from work carefully and stick to it. Personally, I would stay by the park and stay off Orange St unless you want Spanish food. I would recommend staying on the main roads like Central (that part of Central is fine but I don’t walk west of 1st Street on Central) and then down 1st St should also be a good route. That’s just my 2 cents.

And where you are living you are close to Branch Brook which is absolutely one of the gems of Newark (along with the beautiful basilica and Bloomfield Ave for shopping and Calandra’s Bakery). You also are close to a few light rail stops if you wanna get downtown quickly, as well as the 34 NJTransit bus which you also could take home from work (runs down Roseville to University Heights and downtown).

Good Luck!

InshaAllah, thanks man

Good luck with your everything! Hoping this is the only bump you’ll run this year

Forget to get it registered ? I simply didn’t realize it was expired lol tf. Where did I talk about forgetting to register it ? Also you good bro ? Where all this spiteful energy coming from on a Reddit post ?

How do you forget to get it registered? You don't even deserve your car back

I could never be worried about how the next man types on an app 😭 you got it big bro lmao

Lmao stop dropping the n word...its reddit you are typing not howling 😂

I’m sorry bro that’s annoying but at least it’s over now. I’m just waiting to get through tomorrows chores to get my damn car back.

I forgot to register my car for two years…so I went to the dmv and they back charged me for the two years I missed

What are y’all even downvoting about 😭 it’s just a mistake I made lmao

Nah that shit happened so fast my nigga like I dead just went to go get a manga for one of my students and by the time I get back that shit is gone like magic. Mind you I’m thinking it was stolen but this is I guess better. I gotta go get registered again cause my shit was expired too. The Lord keeping me humble fr.

Newark Parking Authority has invisibility cloaks and swoops in the moment you make a violation. They do not fuck around. Sorry about your car.

Landmarks did not pass.

Did they win the landmarks demolition app? Or is this an appeal?

I understand the desire to build this, however, I do think they need to emphasize any affordable housing in place and perhaps change the design a bit to match the historic area. While I don’t think the design is bad, they have to be willing to compromise to get this off the ground. Either way, if this gets approved, it could take 2-3 years to actually start construction.

I am a lot more interested in NJPacs development as well as more padestrian infrustructure upgrades around Military Park and Newark Penn.

She appeared around 2019 and was there from 2020 up until last week even when they started clearing out the homeless encampments after the pandemic was over they let her stay on that corner. Rain snow heat. She was there with her blanket on herself. I don't think I ever saw her actually walk

Tell us about her? She "lived" there? Poor thing.
