I'm 44 now and though the drugs and crime are pretty bad, it actually used to be a lot worse. I was born here and move away and back again multiple times while my dad was still living. He always had a police scanner on in the living room and there were shootings, drug overdoses, robberies, etc on the daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. It wasn't uncommon to hear gunshots in the night. It's MUCH better than it used to be. We used to be known for having shitloads of bars and pizza shops. They revoked licenses to some of them, didn't issue renewals to some others, and a few others burned down. Most of the good pizza places aren't around anymore, either. Dan's and Park Pizza were my favorite. Both are gone.
Remember in the early 2000's when every year, right before the big homecoming game, local news channels would start reporting panther sightings with grainy pictures of painfully obvious house cats prowling in the grass in surrounding communities? They never got the joke, and it went on for like 9 years.
Haha, I go to Denison University just in neighboring Granville. I did a very long run at midnight and went out to Newark and back. Almost got lost over there in the middle of the night. Shady stuff
Imagine a town with crowded streets and buses. Its own department stores like John J Carroll 's. A Greek chocolatier hidden on Park Place. A town busy with manufacturers and factories. The place where Swisher Sweets was born. And then one day, the 15 blocks of Roper Stove closed and headed for the union-buster South. And all the brother manufacturers followed. And the welfare and the shame came. 1970 was Newark's first 2020. But what do you expect from a town that pimps an Indian burial ground as a Featured Attraction---a graveyard town. Cool video, bub.
@@ericwilliams725 my mom and sisters live in Newark. As does my 2 best friends and countless other friends. I also miss the comfort and familiarity of my hometown. I grew up there for 22 years. Been in Nashville 20 year now and it's still not the same as my hometown area. But yes, Newark is a shithole.
You know my grandma said if you ain’t got nothing better to say, then something good about someone 😳 better not to say nothing at tall. 👁🙏👁 bought YOU... nothing at all
Well, Newark just got a new huge Harbor Freight store. And since one third of Newark's citizens receive public assistance (welfare), there are many restaurants in Newark to feed these lazy folks, that never learned how to cook.

Move along. Nothing here. Unless you want stupid people and drugs.
This video makes it look like literally no one lives there.
No one dares go outside
As someone who lives in the Newark area I can tell you we are all hiding...

Newark, Ohio is a place.
Somehow
It's not a place ... it's a shit hole. There's a difference.
Nurkahia

This is the rare alt skin for brody
This is my buddy Bryan ! He owns the oldest video game trader in Newark if not Ohio
"you might get stabbed you might not" that should be on our welcome sign cause holy hell is it accurate

Dope
Ooooohhhh and the prize goes tooooooo ...
He forgot the part where our whole community gets together just to yell at some cops driving by 😂
Holy shit. Can't believe there's a TH-cam video about Newark.
You should go to the Circle K at National and 5th just for the freak show
YOOOO I have my first sentient memory there
Hey that's not Brody! J'accuse!

didn't know someone could so easily capture the vibe of all of the weird, shitty small towns in America so well in only four minutes
There's a Newark everywhere.
well considering brody killed himself with a old war gun
does this mean this is the new brody?
I feel personally attacked but also kinda proud?
Newark Ohio looks like if Newark NJ somehow became worse
