Correct. Under current NJ liquor regulations , Newark can NEVER be the 24 hour live city NYC is in terms of nightlife & restaurants.

Imagine if NYC was in NJ, where annexation was restricted, then denied by "home rule". Liquor laws arranged in zero sum game determined by a set finite number that can only be sold ortransferred, but never added on to.

You get Newark! A city sabotaged by its host state.

Who Spadea? He's a Trump Lackey and praises Ras. .

Spadea reminds me of Paul Mulshine.

I Thought he was "miserable type" conservative till he attacked everything GWBush & Trump did.

Then realized he's not conservative at all, but a media plant playing controlled opposition to Democrat NJ Governors to sell more Newark Star Ledgers in Red NJ counties.

But he reveals his Democrat colors soon as a GOP becomes president!

this reads like a google search.

You can run up and down the steps at the Essex County buildings near MLK and Market Street.

No idea, but he's certainly welcome!

One question, will Midnight the Newark Knight be there? Maybe he can set up an autograph booth?!

Yes it's very good love to be a selection and the names they have for it

If I can get a ride down I'll come through I'm looking for something to do Saturday. Anyone been to that brewery before?

This is about as ridiculous as the people criticizing any attempt to make housing affordable because it hurts people who treated a house as an investment.

It's all political . If Newar's Mayor was GOP, US MSM & late night would've savaged him & Newark. The jokes would never end.

This is what I use! There are 3 great hills to choose from. The track is 2 miles around.

Many said that they also spotted "Wakanda Ambassador" next to her.

Spadea is a buffoon.

Can't stand Spadea

Fuck NJ101.5

Weequahic Park and Branch Brook Park.

Embarrassing. This is what happens when you surround yourself with the low-IQ ghetto class who panders to the ghetto class, not the working class, of the city. The city is making Philthy look competent.

Very interesting take. Appreciate you spelling that out

Weeqhuahic Park easily. Beautiful views.

The thing about this sentiment is that it assumes that Ras has a choice // that it's easy to replace people.

Loyalty is a huge thing in his circle + in the black community generally.

Him replacing 1 person could be a bad look, and on the flip side, the replacement could be bad for business because they don't have any loyalty towards him.

This is a problem in and of itself because politics shouldn't be structured via loyalty but I digress.

There's also a possibility that this is just one of his flaws. It's rare to be awesome in all regards

Spanish people have been little bro to black people since the civil rights movement.

They were given the same dirt as us and treated in a very similar way.

In some cases, you'd see Spanish people get promoted over black people that had more experience than them, simply because of racism, but for the most part, they've struggled with us.

Nowadays, after years of living in the ghetto besides us, there's a growing sentiment that Spanish people don't need black people // don't want to be little bro // second fiddle anymore.

There's a belief that the dysfunction we see In the black community, is mostly limited to the black community, and Spanish people can and will do better than us, and as a result, deserve to be separated from us and treated in a higher regard.

There's truth to this, insofar as the ironbound being dope, but as I'm not from there, a better example I can give is my home city of Plainfield.

30 years ago, Plainfield was filled with niggas. Now it's pretty much 60% Spanish and rising.

The thing about Plainfield today, is that the rising Spanish population is low-key revitalizing the city.

Downtown sucks ass, but they don't care. They cherish it and do business down there. The downtown area has been sort of merged with North Plainfields downtown area, and even though the architecture is outdated and shit is ass, it's low-key jumping.

It's vibrant and there's people making moves. The Spanish people in Plainfield are really good at taking care of what they inherit.

As opposed to back when we were running things, Downtown sucked, and stayed barren + there was no unity between Plainfield and North Plainfield.

That's the long and short of it. The situation isn't black and white, and black people are still traumatized after 400 years of targeted, systemic oppression, however, an outsider looking in, would wager that black people suck and that Spanish people are excellent enough to run their own shit and be fully in charge of their own communities.

Mistimed lights make it worse because drivers run red lights more often and block intersections. If you've ever driven in the city the lights are timed on the avenues to keep you going 30mph. Going faster means you run into a red light so there is no reason to go faster. If there isn't a ton of volume you can easily ride green lights for 20-30 blocks if not more.
