If Newark had a xfl team it would take Newark to the next phase of what it needs to be a official city and it would bring jobs

Newark Bloodhounds

Newark Swamp Dragons (RIP to a great alternate Nets name)

I like this but it'd probably be the Brix.

Brick City Pirates

The Unfriendlies

You'd have to name their stadium the Brick... HOUSE.

Resurrect the Bears

Locomotive Down Neck

Newark locomotives

We got some absolute idiots that post on here lol

Imagine using woke to describe traffic signals and thinking anyone is ever going to take you seriously grandpa

Nj generals

The Newark Bricks?

The Ironbounds

Or the Eagles, same name as the famous Newark Negro Leagues baseball team.

Well said.

Yeah its a shame. After they made that deal with a made up country I'm more skeptical than I was before. Black empowerment and teaching people history is a good thing, but easy to fall down the path of ignoring reality. Programs like the Black Panthers used to do feeding kids breakfast and that kind of thing has more positive impact I think. This city has a history of people taking advantage of people's situation and their position of power, and I guess its not gone away.

Damn. I just saw the empowerment aspect and jumped the gun. It's a shame so much of this conversation is convoluted and intertwined these days. Tacit racism and misinformation is ok if it comes under the guise of different things than traditional right wing tropes.

I don't know, I browsed the the guys instagram the other day and I saw some stuff defending Kanye and that type of thing. He locked his account now. His facebook is up and its got some classic covid misinformation and conspiracy level stuff. I wouldn't want this guy indoctrinating my kids in his free time.

McCarther highway is a mess

Brutalist architecture is meant for simplicity and showcasing the materials. Putting stuff on it is a jarring visual clash that fucks up the beauty of the building and the skyline. The flag is bad enough, the quote is just too much and has been an eyesore on a really unique and interesting piece of architecture.

Oh yeah and there's also the fact that Reagan and his ilk are basically responsible for the shitty state of the country today by virtue of killing regulations that enabled megacorps to run roughshod, propping up Saddam Hussein, creating Al Qaeda, ensuring cycles of violence in Central America, propagating hate against LGBTQ people, and for the cherry on top, swelled the defense budget to astronomically high levels based on literal lies, which still continues to this day at the expense of any kind of health care, education, public health and sanitation, etc.

If you're going to put stuff on a perfectly good building in a show of demonstrative post-9/11 patriotism, at least pick something from a president that's not a complete destructive force against the country.

What is wrong with the Reagan quote saying saying "America's too great for small dreams"?

This sounds just about right . Google traffic calming and you'll see all the ridiculous suggestions for reducing traffic, such as placing Boulders or trees in the middle of the road, bollards, trenches with plants and water, zig zag Lanes and retiming of traffic lights to prevent fast movement.
