I believe this is about a block to the south of Citi Square

Thanks for this info!! I knew the parking garage and IDT building had been sold; I keep my car in that garage and the staff there had mentioned it, but they didn’t have any idea what was going to happen with that garage or this vacant land next door either. The vacant lot has been an eyesore for a long time, so I’m excited to see some work going on down there regardless of what it may end up being!

Its something I guess. NGL I am surprised a Petco opened there to begin with.

Looks like the street address is either 26 or 28-30 Lombardy Street based on Parcel/Tax maps. both parcels and the IDT parking garage appear to have an owner listed as "Broad Street Atlantic Associates, LLC" with a listed address of 520 Broad Street in Newark (IDT Building).

520 Broad (IDT Building) and the parking garage were both sold back in September, and the parking garage was mentioned as a "developable site" in the announcement, according to Jersey Digs.

If I had to guess, it may be some type of lot clearing/pre-work for a planned construction or to sell the site off to an interested developer.

It might be the new container homes but that’s just a guess

Hmm - this is next to the future citi square location, right? Or would this be part of citi square?

They mentioned in comments on that Instagram post that their normal hours would be open from 6am to 7pm. But they also mentioned that they would have extended hours on Devils gamedays and stay open up later for up to two hours after events ended.

I tried looking around on the City of Newark website but had no luck finding anything! I work in a construction-adjacent field in NYC and am used to looking permits up online there, and was hoping Newark would have a similar system but no-go unfortunately.

Where do you go to look up permits online?!

I'd love to know too!

LOL

Yes I agree. Newark needs to expand its subway/light rail as soon as possible. The light rail should provide access to those who live in the iron bound, vailsburg/South Orange, Springfield Ave/Irvington, Southward/Weequahic park area, and the McCarthy highway side of the northward. I don’t understand why njtransit isn’t trying to drastically expand in Newark.

Its a radiology imaging center.

Their Jersey City location is open M-F, 8am-4:30pm, and Saturday 8-2pm.

Womp womp

Yes

"Wym"

Are you asking what do I mean by "annex"? To annex is to execute the process of annexation. Annexation is when an independent or non Incorporated area is brought into the fold of another Incorporated community.

You can look up the word for a much clearer definition.

NOT Verizon in newark at least

Wym annex 16 other towns

Ah, but did you know Newark has always been independent of New York City? Newark was America's second most industrial city after Detroit. Believe it or not, Newark and Detroit had the same number of factories despite only 24 square miles versus Detroit's 142 sq. miles. With the exception of the Frelinghuysen Avenue corridor and the Oak Island District of Ironbound, Newark factories were mixed within neighborhoods. New York was an industrial Powerhouse while New York City served as the financial Powerhouse of the region. In fact Newark was often referred to as the American and New York City Warehouse of industrial Arts. The 1940 " American Journal of industry and finance" I read as a senior high school student at Arts High School in 1992 evaluated the city of Newark and proudly proclaimed "Newark is independent of New York City" celebrate the city's achievements and predicted population of 1 million. However, the article compared Newark to Los Angeles in that opposite the Los Angeles case of 100 suburbs searching for a city, Newark was a 24 square mile super dense core looking for a city. The article went on to say Newark needed to Annex 16 surrounding municipalities or watch her glorious future be aborted.

….I use Verizon

Just have them move along. It's not that serious. Dont allow them to camp out in there. Closing the space is BS

Those of us who work in Newark Penn could definitely use the new restaurant options

There have always been homeless people. It didnt stop the walkways being open for 40 years. It only closed when a new company bought the towers and decided the rules don't apply to them and/or the city of newark agreed to throw out the easement without telling us.

>A main concern expressed to me during my travels is definitely the homeless. People wouldn't want them seeking shelter here because then it will ruin the area.

They can easily enforce no loitering and no sitting on the floor rules, as they used to.

Wow! The contract being 24/7 is insane. Can I ask who your representative is? I'd like to call them out on it if ever given the chance as I run into these guys sometimes.

Moreover,

A main concern expressed to me during my travels is definitely the homeless. People wouldn't want them seeking shelter here because then it will ruin the area. Objectively speaking.

Of course, there's a greater problem at hand which is, why do we prioritize material things over human lives? We're okay with people freezing to death as long as it's out of sight and out of mind.

I personally don't want this place to be overrun by the homeless, but clearly we're not doing enough to fix the homelessness issue. People wouldn't overrun this place if they had a warm place to sleep at night. The streets are very scary.

In any case, I'm sure even with this place being open to the public, the police presence will be heavy, and they'll target individuals who are seen as "problematic".

That’s cause he’s not able to play and crack jokes w/ his brothers to loosen up! We need to fix that ASAP!
