Ironbound Walking Tour – this Sat/Banner for Newarkhistory.com
August 8, 2007
Hi, a two purpose post here . .. .
Just a reminder, my Ironbound walking tour is going to be this Saturday at 2:30. Meet at the church at the intersection of McWhorter & Ferry Street. The tour will last just under two hours and will end where we start. The cost is $5 if this is your first tour, free if you’ve been on a tour before and paid for that previous tour.
The tour will run no matter how hot it gets, but intense thunderstorms will cause the tour to be postponed to the Sunday rain date. The forecast is for partly cloudy, in the 70s.

Other news . . . .
If you’ve ever checked out my website, www.newarkhistory.com, you know that my web design skills are primitive. For over a year I’ve wanted to have a nice banner for the top of the mainpage. Is there anyone out there who can help me? You can use whatever creative skills you have, and you can get credit for the banner, but I can’t pay you. A nice banner might be a pic of the Newark skyline with “Newarkology” or “Newarkhistory.com” superimposed. Another idea would be a few images fading into one other. Like a pic of the Newark skyline, then a crowd scene from the Old Days, then a close up of a Newark park. My only standard is that the banner look more professional than what I have now.
Are there any planned walking tours of the Ironbound this Fall? Cannot seem to find any.
I am looking for ways to learn more about the people and culture of the Ironbound section of Newark in any way I can.
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks
Victor
