any speech therapists that work in newark? I am interested in working in the hospitals or newark schools.
wanna get a matching tattoo with my sister, but don’t wanna spend an arm n a leg. also need a touch up on a old tattoo.
I don’t know why double parking is even permitted all over Newark, they rarely rarely get ticketed and when they go pay the tickets they get a deal that is, if they have 10 tickets but if they are willing to pay them they only have to pay for half of them! The other five tickets get dismissed. My main complain though is, people double parking right across the street from a driveway, when you try to access your driveway or garage and you have a large van or vehicle you need a decent radius to back up or exit your driveway. You call the cops and they don’t even bother to show up. I completely understand that parking issues are not on top of their list but this happens every single day and nothing is being done about it.
Such a beautiful day 🌞 I can't wait for summer in Newark. I just love my city even if we have many things to fix, I just rather focus on the moment to remember.

Some good updates, and a lot that are still in the same stage as other updates. I don’t know how long it takes to have a hearing with the CPB but that’s holding up a lot of the major towers and projects right now.
Here are the questions we asked:
How long have you lived in Newark, and what is your understanding of the Newark Uprising?
What do you think has changed the most about the city since your childhood?
Why do you think Newark has produced so many talented artists?
In your opinion, why is voter turnout so low in Newark?
Are you optimistic or pessimistic about Black residents’ ability to remain in Newark?

Hi,
If I purchase a NJ transit train ticket at EWR and then get off at Penn Station Newark to check into my hotel, can I use the same ticket again when I return to Newark Penn Station to go to NY Penn Station?
I am urgently looking to relet my apartment as I’m moving out. The apartment is a 1 bed-1 bath private room with a common area with a living room and a full kitchen. Amenities for the apartment complex include a gym, study areas, washer and dryer rooms, pool tables, a computer room with printers, an attached garage, theater room, etc.
The lease began October and ends in May. I’m looking for someone to take over for February til July. It's $1,209 per month plus ~$10 for utilities. Reach out if interested. Below is the link for more details!

There are dead pigeons that have been under these bridges where families and commuters walk through everyday. These pigeons have been there for weeks decomposing. Kids pass by there, we have no choice but to walk all over it, even trying to avoid them you’re stepping into some other nasty shit…. I can’t stop thinking about weird adverse effects of breathing in that decomp.
The fact that there aren’t any lights, trash, paraphernalia, and human excrements is a whole other story that I can’t even go in to rn because I’m not off the dead birds…. It is extremely neglected. Kids pass through there all of the time. It still connects to Ironbound, families live here and use that route to take their kids to school.
Oliver, E Kinney, Cottage, Walnut, Elm, Green, Lafayette…. These streets continue past that highway crossing through that bridge.
This is why those murals mean nothing to me.
It’s painted on the side where cars pass through from all around the state since it connects to other highways…. gateway center and Penn station looks good…. City hall looks good…… downtown business district looks good, obviously catered to these people from the city or wherever else who pass through for work.
And under the bridge, the route locals depend on to get around, is completely neglected.
The city needs to have constant upkeep. Under these bridges is extremely dangerous and nasty.
And no I’m not picking up no fucking dead pigeons and moving it out of my path. I don’t even want to throw out BirdFlu into the mix, but damn those birds have been laying there dead for weeks and weeks clearly decomposing and it’s right in the middle of the crosswalk.
Let me know if there’s some type of city government website to report it and request a clean up. I have considered drafting up a project a few times to clean up these under-the-bridge locations as well using those grants that every so often come up but haven’t had the time. I wanted to post this here bc I know I’m not the only one seeing it.
Fuck only doing things for tourists and people passing by. How are we improving the quality life of the locals, in a non-shallow way.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Does the city of Newark ever clean up the streets? The West Ward has some blocks that need a deep cleaning.
Does the community by any chance have a clean up day to help?
I’m thinking of living in Newark and commuting into NYC for full time work starting in August. I have a few questions though:
Thanks!!
Anybody know what happened to the military vet that got taken by ICE in Newark, NJ?
Breaking news 900 Broad Street is coming back to the planning board with a slightly different design and slightly shorter height. Plans were submitted to the planning board back in September and are waiting for hearing date.
Hi y'all. Pretty much what the title asks. I am planning to move around that area for a 3 month stay, and some of the reviews on Bodega shop/liquor shop, etc, are scary, lol. I will need to walk to the Norfolk station pretty often (twice a day).
I picked the place because it is in university heights, which is maybe relatively safer from what I have heard. I also looked up Spotcrime, but the results are different from literally 2 days ago, and it doesn't seem to be up to date. I am kinda stressed about moving here and would appreciate any tips.
TIA!
Thought these were very useful and kind of look forward to them. I am very curious if anybody has heard any news besides them supposedly starting construction soon. I wonder if the union ever settled what was going on there or who the new owner, investor and general contractor will be this time around.

Hello! I’ll be taking a trip to New York City this July. For budget reasons I am staying at the hotel nearest to the Newark airport. I plan to bus to New York City each morning to spend the day there. I’m curious what the best/cheapest/safest route of transportation would be. For day trips from Newark to New York city.
