I lived in Newark for 6 years as a pre-teen, 9 years of higher education. 10 years full-time work and 10 years part time consulting. Then I got smart and moved to Vermont.
grandfather was an EO cop up to about 1960. raised the family on Park St. I think. he walked me a toddler on Main St in the early 60's.The house next store was a judge with a rose garden. Everyone was gone by the late 60"s.
I lived on main street by hillyer at the EO Orange border. There were shootings and knifings at the club, armed robberies of the few that worked honest jobs. The difference between 1965 and 75 was incedible!
@@poundtrader1414 I left in 1980 and never looked back. I got mugged at Brick Church and that was it. I forgot the name of the infamous club! Good job!

It's a shame East Orange used to be a very nice Town years and years ago especially back like in the 70s is them houses have really big Apartments you used to be allowed to park on the streets there's a lot of the houses don't have driveways buy like Elmhurst Street in a lot of the streets by the park over there but then people ruined it leaving engines and parts so now you can't park on the street and where we should have some kind of permit I haven't been here in years I've lived in California now born and raised in Brick City in Newark and it's funny is cuz it's actually almost worse than Newark the problem is people don't stick together anymore people stick together the crime would really be that bad there's parts of East Orange in Newark you could go down the streets and they're clean and their spotless and they're nice that's cuz people stick together people are afraid and they don't stick together anymore and the police officers are a joke they don't even help their own people always had encounters with East Orange Police Department they don't even live in the town and that's the biggest problem most of these cities the police officers don't live there if they live there you wouldn't have half the crime the problem is it's too is that they can't do everything if people stick together you wouldn't have crime people are afraid and they're not afraid to stick up and have a community and take care of their blocks we always had crime you always had drugs but not to this extent where was on the street cuz people stuck together and you don't have to have a lot of money to make your area look nice you keep it clean the people don't care anymore and and that's the biggest problem I used to be a fugitive task force agent I work for the government and we used to serve warrants most of the time in East Orange and in Newark New Jersey City they were mostly all the areas that we served warrants in East Orange I have to stay out of all the towns that we went in we always had an issue with the police department because there's something mentally wrong with them in their corrupted we actually were doing a Stakeout one time and they rolled up on us cuz we had tinted windows were parked instead of running the plate and they would have found out that we were federally agency almost blue or copper they draw it on us we arrested every one of them every one of them they all got suspended in two rooms were completely off the job after that cuz that's what they used to do they used to pull people over for tinted windows all the time and 99% of the town is black African-American David give their tickets to their own people instead of other races that's how crazy they were don't even take care of the wrong people knowing the struggle that they have very very very very very very corrupt Town very warped and it's sad cuz it doesn't have to be like that❤
I get the impression that people who make such videos live in homogenous suburbs, and not the actual communities being filmed, and bring their biases with them.
Doesn't look that bad. Nice homes must be little expensive to keep home of that NATURE. Isn't Pennsawken bad in south Jersey. Keansburg is bad to. In the 70s 80s it was nice but got bad last 25years.

If people would pick up a broom and start sweeping that would be a big help

Nice and chill
Start looking for apartments or homes to see the cost and the type of place you want to live in.
Is this by rutgers?
Very close.😢
Only dangerous thing I saw was you run a red light in the first 45 seconds and riding a bike on the sidewalk
🥹🤣 love it
Actually Newark is no joke looks is deceiving.
@@flashbacktv1641 That is very true. You can turn the corner and be in a different world before you know it.
Sidewalks I miss them soo much. Alabama is a nonsense state and not cheap like people say. Can't wait til I move back home.
😢 I live in Pensacola and with god willing will be moving back in March
I'm from Newark,NJ born and raised not that bad around there.
No disrespect, but I can tell You Ain't from Newark my guy 😂😂 it gets wicked FR
You used to be able to walk branch brook and vailsburg!

Then you aint lived there, sir. People leave the hell hole and become middle class, not the other way around!
