I read that whole agreement. I think you are on to something.

I didn’t look In the window! My guess would be 2024 based on all the other work happening in the building.

Yeah, it's a lovely house, but knowing a lady was murdered, stuffed into a suitcase, and encased in a fake concrete slab in the basement would keep me up at night.
Hard pass
Edit: after a bit of research, the house pictured and listed (200 Elmwood) is NOT the house that the poor lady was buried in which was 212-214 Elmwood
Edit 2: this house is so flipping strange. The layout is so convoluted. The basement has two levels to it? The closets have closets? A few dead hallways that lead nowhere.

It is in complete disarray, has clearly been abandoned for a long time, and needs another 500k minimum put it into it. Might be some of the ornate original interior that's salvageable, but I imagine most of it would have to get trashed, and taken down to the studs.
It almost seems someone saw this as a fixer upper and started to work on it ( a couple of more modern details and finishes) and ran out of money and then just abandoned it.
You'd have to be insane/have very deep pockets to want to take this project on

Remember when Artichoke Basille's was coming to Newark? What the hell happened to THAT?

It will be open after games/events at the Rock, I thought.

How close is this to being ready to open? I haven't stalked and peered in a window. Before 2025?

I mean I remember walking through the walkway during the summer and some guy had his horse cock out and was going to town, at least he had the courtesy to tuck it when he noticed me.

Well, this is...not encouraging. (Though I laughed out loud at the topic.) I hope to finally explore the new Gateway in the next few days. I've really been oddly clueless about the whole renovation, including thinking some spots WOULD be at street level. Did I dream that being an original intention? I was excited to see Chip City opening next week, but indeed rolled my eyes when I saw the 6pm closing time.

The whole idea of the gateway center sucks. Have stores on the street level! It’s just makes Newark a deadzone from penn to mulberry. That they have these awful hours is insult to injury.

>The new Gateway Center is open M - F and closes at 7pm.
I posted this in the chip city thread but they confirmed their hours will be 10am-6pm. Designed to exclude people who live in Newark.

The Astoria location shows $4.50 for one (1) cookie.

According to their instagram, 10am-6pm will be their hours. LOL.
They did not respond to the person who asked what the weekend hours are.
Folks, this business isnt for us.

It's going to be open 11am to 3pm two days a week because a homeless person might try and have a cookie so they can't keep it open for real hours. The gateway center is such a shitty scam and should have been demolished instead.

That’s it?
I’d really love to see what it could look like in the hands of someone with 800k extra to throw at after purchase. Won’t happen, but damn it could be beautiful.

look at those outlets IN SIDE OF the beautiful decorative molding near the floor in all of the rooms. A dead giveaway that the electrical is original knob and tube and needs to be totally gutted.

Contact Silva’s office in particular. It is in the East Ward for some goofy reason.
