The Brick City. The city where I learned to ride a bike, play every single sport you can imagine and avoid getting hit by a car while catching a touchdown! Newark has a rich history unfortunately some of that history hurts. I recall my parents telling me stories about trying to rent an apartment but being denied because they were Spanish. I will always carry Newark with me where ever i go in the world.

I was born and raised on the south side of Newark and as an adult lived in North newark so I know first-hand that the disparity still exists. Its interesting how some things never change. I'm not saying north newark is so beautiful and peaceful but lets just say I felt safer walking down the street at night in north newark than on south orange ave.

The riots were nuts. Crazy shit. Anthony Imperiale. 1st Ward held. Hung tough for a long time. Forest Hill, like another world. Good food, good bread. Tony's hotdogs, the originals, hot onions, chocolate cow. Iron bound, good food if you knew where to go. Cafe Italian, Emilia's, Nastos. But Newark was always plagued with drugs, shame. Many of the kids in the inner city didn't stand a chance. Newark could be a very dangerous place if you were in the wrong place. Hope things are better.

I'd like to step back from the subject of Newark for a moment and point out that the jazzy upbeat music that has been placed on this series of clips could not be more thematically irrelevent to the clips themselves. The only perceptible link is that the clips are "old," like the music. But the bleakness of the clips is overwhelming and the music is too energetic. I'd also like to ask whether the cameraman, Joseph Sarto, is related to Giuseppe Sarto, Pope Pius X.

@ CircusMaximus09 - Based on your reply, I doubt you know WHY the city deteriorated. There were politics involved, many years of poor financial planning by city officials, populations of people moved after the riots which hurt the city's economy, etc. You WORKED in newark, which means you know nothing about the city's culture, diversity and the different neighborhoods. You probably know nothing about the city's people so how can you judge them. DONT base your opinions on media and hearsay.

Ah, I love this video. It was never exactly a crowned jewel, but it’s such an interesting manufacturing hub that was always full of innovators and talent. The city has gone through some rough times, but ultimately prevailed and is full of potential today with a handful of projects that will transform the downtown area. Albeit still a bit run down in parts, I would still encourage more people to invest in Newark now while it’s still relatively affordable. I especially find Newarks downtown more interesting than Jersey City’s downtown for example, which has sort of become a soulless place full of expats and gentrifiers by comparison. Newark still has a lot of soul. People just have a habit of shitting on the city like it’s the 80s instead of respecting the city for all its strides. It has so much potential. Places like Atlanta, Houston or Miami are literally worst (crime wise) yet people move to these places in droves, only making them worse.

Excellent schools.Fantastic restaurants. Great parks, plenty of jobs, Clean neighborhoods with plenty of trees. Not perfect but better than many other cities.
