Hello,Newarkers
I’m back first and foremost I apologize for my absence and got married and had a baby.
Now to the nitty-gritty.
Since my last post I have notice no changes in my beloved city. I know Sharpe James is going to prison Marion Bolden is leaving but nothing positive. Our education system is still lacking. Crime is [...]
There is a wide spread rumor that has been somewhat confirmed through out the city. The recent concert containing rapper Lil’ Wayne was cancelled because of his blood affiliation. I don’t have true confirmation of this so this is a alleged. I would have thought the fact Cory Booker was allegedly threatened by the bloods [...]
As the murder rate increases with the drug use and diseases I think of my fair city and how we got here. I don’t know was it the rascism, the white flight, the crack , the lower educational standards or the poverty. I actually think that all ties into rasicism my own personal beliefs. I [...]

After viewing the documentary “Revolution 67” I was both horrified and amazed. I was amazed at the fact that conditions are still similar. True, I know a lot of our residents and our people as a person of color refuse take advantage of the opportunities present. I also know that the climate of the city [...]
I applaud Mayor Booker on his “Super Summer” initiative. Our children need to find something better for them and their own futures than congregating at the ‘chicken shacks”. Swimming, tennis and other activities provide something out of the ordinary for our children. Newark is full of oppurtunities educational and edu-tainment wise that we as city residents [...]
The riots in Newark in 1967 were about change and frustration with a town and city government not protecting it’s citizens. Well, in 2007 the climate of Newark is the same. The Renaissance City as we are so eloquently known is in need of another renaissance. Poverty levels in in my beloved city are on a [...]
