You should get some shots of Westfield sometime.  Great little streetcar/regional rail suburb.

Why no shots of Penn Station?

 

I love that old church by Park & Broad. Newark has some of the nicest (and oldest) churches around. Are you going to show us the cathedral next time? What about the cherry blossoms?

 

Thanks. Looking forward to next time! :-)

wow that is awesome. three ny/nj skylines in one.

 

from the looks of things eagle rock is up in the hills around southern paterson isnt it?

 

if so ive been nearby up at ramapo and in paterson but i never went to eagle rock -- looks like its a must visit someday for the views!

mrnyc : No its not in South Paterson , there is no such thing as southern Paterson there was a West Paterson in-till last year , but now its called Woodlawn Park.  Its located in Watchung Mountains in West Orange , just of I-280.  The one your thinking of is Garret Mountain in Paterson, i do have pictures form that as well.  There kinda on the same system of mountains.

 

natininja : I will get to Newark Penn, on this update.  When i go to the Cherry Blossom Festival in a few weeks and when i do that , i will walk a few neighborhoods.  Since Newark is a safer city now i can do so much more.

 

 

Heres some shots of Newark Penn

Good stuff. I'd like to request shots of Ferry St in Newark.

Great, great thread.  I wish I got to see Eagle Rock Reservation.  My brother went there a bunch of times.  And Downtown Newark looks pretty nice.  The only places I have been in Newark were the Essex line on the way to NYC, and have driven through Clinton Hill to get to UMDNJ from 24.  Not as nice as what you just pictured haha...

Good stuff. I'd like to request shots of Ferry St in Newark.

I'd like to request shots of James St. in Newark.

You know I dont look good in synthetic blends, however, if my grand father and cousin had not intercepted me, I might very well have ended up in solitary confinement in the Justice Center.

nice job. where did you take those? i'd guess some were from liberty state park or thereabouts.

Nexis,

 

James St. starts at Washington Park by the library in downtown Newark. (It's across the park from Broad St., just a couple blocks down from the Broad St. train station.) The nicest stretch is probably between University and Burnet, and I wouldn't bother going further than the far corner of Dr. MLK Blvd.

Good stuff, Nexis.  I'm excited to see more.

Wow. That actually looks very nice.  I'm loving your Newark shots.  Lots of stuff that I never knew existed.

So cool to see some "up north" shots of my home state :)

 

How is the new Devils arena?

 

It looks pretty sweet from the NJ Transit.

very good -- a side of newark you dont hear about!

It is a Unique side of Newark , but 90% of the North Ward Section looks like that.  The East & South Wards do as well , but the West Ward looks like a dump still.

ironbound looks great.  not a fan of the banners.  but the district...huge fan from what I can see here. 

Great stuff!  You know it may be easier to read if you post the neighborhoods seperately.  Just a suggestion...

urbanforever : Now i have more detailed photos of Urban Jersey Neighborhoods i will post them in separate updates.

 

atlas : Whats wrong with the banners ?  The Disrect is excellent , although i think we should build a Hotel there.

 

Columbusite : Later , i need to show off other Urban Neighborhoods

 

 

Now for the Train update , since ive been doing alot of rail Fanning recently.  The City / Neighborhood Update is next.  It will be Liberty Harbor North.

Overall i was impressed with Rahway , it seems to be cleaning up its act and becoming a mini JC in the process.  It seems every since they redid there station things have been better there.  Linden looks the same way.  NJ has a tale of 2 cities problem , the bad side is shown form the highways and the good form the Railways.  The Problem is that most of the state takes the highways....
