i know nimpo ninja attacks and my girl friend is part vamp...

There are Spanish and Irish heritage organizations in the U.S. Do schools not celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month? Who do you think hosts the St. Patricks parade down Halsey Street evey year? Black student unions exist on campuses because black students have historically been discriminated against in places of education so they needed to organize to fight for their interests.

It's awful. Residents routinely are mauled by zombies and bitten by vampires. Best suggestion is to stay away unless you want to be a walking dead

Hell, I'd come outside and smack you if you were doing that outside my house at 2am.

>would that be like a batsignal for the wolves

Wouldn't that be a wolf signal?

Also, not much wildlife in Newark. Definitely don't need to worry about being savaged by wolves.

Stray cats however...

Yeah no one really bothers you if you say “sorry I don’t have anything to give you”. There was one guy who asked me 3 times in 3 days on the same block lol. I was like “you should probably know by now I don’t have change”

Be the change you wanna see in the world

So if somebody wanted to start a Spanish student union or a Irish student union those are automatically considered racist?

If you move to Newark I think you will be genuinely surprised by how much better it is compared to the reputation it has. Granted, it was one of the most dangerous cities for a while but it truly has had some major changes for the better. Good luck with your search!

The thing about crime in Newark, especially violent crime and such, is that it's not really involving random people on the street. It's between people who know each other and have beef with each other. With most cities, you can reduce the crime rate with education and community outreach. However, when it's your cousin being a punk, no amount of community outreach is going to prevent the dumb fuck from stirring up a fight.

You remember how there was all that talk about stranger danger in the 1990s? And then you looked at statistics, and saw that the vast VAST majority of kidnapping, molestation, rape, etc was done by people that the child already knew, and that there wasn't this huge mess of strangers eager to steal some punk ass kid? That's the deal with violent crime in Newark. Nobody is going to jump you for your discount Nike shoes, and GAP Outlet jeans. They don't give a crap.

What will happen is that people will solve their issues with fists instead of words, but that doesn't really involve innocent bystanders. If you're generally a good person, people will leave you alone. I'm a skinny gay dude swanning about the neighbourhood, and nobody gives a fuck, because I mind my own business, and keep it moving.

EDIT: If you leave your bike locked up to something with a cheap ass chain, it's going to get jacked. Keep an eye on your crap, and you'll be fine. Also, be friendly to the unhoused people hanging around. They're not going to bother you, but an acknowledgement of "good morning" or something isn't going to hurt you. The most that someone will ask is if you can spare a buck or two for a coffee or if someone can bum a cigarette. A simple, "sorry, I'm out, but good luck" will go far. Your kindness is rewarded with information, like "Hey, that door over there is locked right now. Try that next one over," and everyone around there keeps an eye on you to make sure nobody's bothering you.

Black students unions fight back against racism. Other groups formed around race are just racist. You can't just say any group that has to do with race is bad without making that distinction.

Good ole Sim City 2000 , used to play that game when I was young back in the late 90s...then SC3000 and then onto Sim City 4 which I still play today. SC4 turned 20yrs old a few weeks ago and has over 30,000 custom assets you can download.. Would be nice if someone from this Subreddit could create some Urban Jersey buildings. Only one has made and that is 30 Hudson Street in Jersey City.

JC is much safer. But still has rough areas like Greenville.

Oh wow i thought jersey city was safer than newark? Brooklyn is brooklyn even when i lived in NY i knew about Brooklyn. my friend got murdered in crown heights back in 2011.

but thanks alot for the info.

Any club to do with race in general the black union club was just the one mentioned in the article. We as a society have to get out of our bubbles and echo chambers both in life and entertainment. It's part of the reason there's so much divide in this country more mixing less tv

Loved the soundtrack from SimCity 2000

Mind your business and pay attention to your surroundings and don't be a hero and you will be just fine

There is no Orange County NJ. You mean Orange County NY?

This isn't the 90s. The crime rate is better than all of those cities you mentioned except JC and Crooklyn, and even in those 2 I'd be careful if you're not in a stable area. The problem with Newark is the blight which can attract the hood types causing trouble. But for a nice, stable hood I'd stick to North Newark like Forest Hill and Upper Roseville. Ivy Hill/West Vailsburg in the West Ward is more affordable and okay if you're not on the main drag like Mt. Vernon Place or S. Orange Ave.

nice to hear i thought you said forrest hills NY lol. but ok thats good to know. if the worst is my stuff being stolen id take that anyday. and again im not knocking no one, i just want to live and not be a victim.

again thanks alot

but the question is WHY IS NOTHING OPENED AFTER 8pm.

ok well what if i wanted to play with my shiny new ipad m1, no headphones either, im just jamming and ride my golden moped 2 am outside while singing spice girls, would that be like a batsignal for the wolves to come get me or would i just be viewed as a little off in the head

you'd be surprise *giggity*

It's a suburb stores close at 8pm, 10 latest

The catch is that nothing is open after 8pm

There's a place in Queens that I was excited to try because it said consumption lounge/infused foods. I looked at the menu recently and saw they charge 100 or 150 for a membership or 25$ per visit....not ideal but I get it, gotta make your money and you're one of the first people providing the service openly. Looked at the menu and saw calamari for $40. Ok that's the infused price I guess, kinda rought but no biggie....na. There was a separate infused menu. That place is not staying open very long
