Frank, you are amazing! Every time I come by there is just a massive amount of content.
I went to school for a year in downtown Newark. Seton Hall had its teacher education program there. My sister still teaches in Newark. I remember the riots. I worked at a Fresh Air camp back then and drove a young camper home in the middle of it because one of his sibs was killed in their apartment by large caliber fire. I have been working on a poem called Nike in Newark.
Thanks
Thanks for keeping on coming back! I always love the comments you contribute. Newark really is a treasure-trove of old signage. Please let me know when you finish that poem. I’ll include it with one of my Newark images.
Take care.
Thanks for this great image of downtown Newark! In all the years I’ve worked here I walk past that sign and smile — love the typography, the fadingness, the link to the educational past in Newark.
Do you have a gallery of Newark images we might link to on our Rutgers-Newark history site?
