I’m eager to get everyone’s take on whether this will come to fruition, given the mixed best track record at best of grand projects coming to fruition. Thoughts everyone? Yes, no, maybe?

Uh…Being that Newark has a limited amount of history left. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have people trying to preserve what’s left of it where possible. Obviously this new building would help the city out a lot though.

And who appoints the historic commission?

He might have to settle for a few bottles of Einstok.

This is peak neo-liberalism. 🤣🤣

First divide people up by race, then rank order them by the magnitude of the “oppression” they have suffered . Throw in a big dollop of victimhood and entitlement to boot.

When the school implodes, everyone involved is “shocked” at what happened.

Meanwhile only 15% of the students body can read or do math at grade level🤷🏾‍♂️

Saraku Japan lol

Boi wut

We call it the Timid Tower because they were too afraid to build it back the way it was. This tower is so boring and uninspiring looking. It's practically irreverent in comparison to its predecessor.

Halo towers being in the background was amazing, really gives the sense on what the skyline could look like minus CitiSquare and NJPAC development

How else are they gonna get superpowers?

Lmfao!

They taste pretty good when battered and fried.

Happy to see the city council stand up to the unelected historic commission. Time to disband these unconstitutional, elitist and wholly un-democratic bureaucracies and exclude them from wielding any sort of influence over public policy.

There are a bunch of threads to search for "moving to newark" that can clue you in on specific neighborhoods. Short answer is you're fine, and whatever connotation you have is outdated.

I'm a 5' 8", 220 lbs white guy living in downtown and I've never had a problem. The most my friends have had is someone screaming at them by Penn Station or panhandling.

I just came back from a bike ride meandering throughout all of downtown and part of the ironbound, dressed in my office clothes and wearing a fancy helmet with built in lights. No one ever bothers me. That includes the 5am walks home from the bar or with friends.

Of course you got neighborhoods to be mindful of. Once you ID a certain area we can get you more details.

U can use mid journey

Respect

Good. Give me a reason to come back to the east coast.

Woof some shark fermented in toxic heavy metal Newark soil.

The best place in Newark for Japanese food is in Fort Lee, NJ 😂

Easy answer but you’ll have to invite your friend back in about 6 months. Go over to Coney Island and see if you can catch a shark. Bury the shark in Newark. In 6 months dig it up! Icelandic delicacy and the respect of your friend, Magnus Olafsson.

I knew you took this pic before I saw the name.

Might be hard to track down puffin or fermented shark anywhere in NJ. You can take your friend to Whole Foods and get some skyrr, that’s about the best you can do.

Damn I Remember the arcade it was a spooky time
