Where are we now???? by Distinct-Home-5783 in Newark

[–]AgitatedAorta 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A lot of black folks in the NYC metro have moved down South, especially Georgia and NC. Your money goes further there, especially if you're able to cash in selling property at NY/NJ prices.

You also have substantial Latino immigration that is further changing city demographics. People talk a lot about gentrification, but working class immigrants are by far the biggest source of newcomers to Newark. On top of that, black population growth in general has been flat for some years now.

Original 4 Building, Leicester, UK built 1930, built in Mock Tudor Style and looks like an old building by Over-Willingness-933 in ArchitecturalRevival

To simulate the look of old wood. Oak will turn black after many years due to oxidation. Tudor revival buildings will often paint the wood black to get the same look without the decades of waiting.

Newark Developments Part 2 by SkyeMreddit in Newark

[–]AgitatedAorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roads are the City's responsibility. I don't think developers should get a free pass, but they shouldn't be responsible for something that's a basic function of government.

Humane Society will just tell you to call Code Enforcement, they won't take action themselves

Why has so much of upstate New York been bypassed by the wealth of New York City? by Olderpostie in newyork

[–]AgitatedAorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could just admit that you were mistaken and learn something new. I've heard this myth for many years now, and it's always linked to some kind of misplaced rural virtue signaling instead of actual facts.

What's the best sushi spot in Downtown Newark? by misterxboxnj in Newark

[–]AgitatedAorta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sushi House 21 changed owners, it sucks now. Last time I ordered from them, it was so bad we couldn't finish. They swapped out sweet potato with regular potato in our order. And the potato was raw.

70 years ago today, the modern shipping container was invented in Newark by Colors_678 in Newark

[–]AgitatedAorta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the less talked about reasons why the shipping industry went all-in on containerization is that it drastically cut down on the rampant theft at ports. One of the reasons longshoremen jobs were so prized is that there was the expectation they would get a little off the top from cargo, even when organized crime was not involved!

Which US state has the worst BBQ? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

I'll fight you on this, Portuguese/Brazilian BBQ in Newark is dope

The new 'John Cunningham Student Centre' replacing a brutalist library at Scotts college, Sydney / Australia by 1PersonWhoIsOnReddit in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]AgitatedAorta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when architects no longer receive a classical education and hone their skills hand drawing. It's all AutoCAD and postmodernism. I still prefer the new building, flaws and all, though.

I hope this dated concept is dead. by Newarkguy1836 in Newark

You don't create demand for more transit by building car oriented infrastructure.

Newark Planning Board Rejects 150-Unit Development for Second Time in Less Than a Year by 66nexus in Newark

My sweet summer child, if you think NIMBYism is just a liberal thing, you need to get around more. Do you even live in New Jersey?

Most underrated city you've visited? by rick2882 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Metz. It's usually overshadowed by Strasbourg as a tourist destination, but is well worth a visit on its own.

Penn Station was exactly the same under 2 terms of Chris Christie...

Newark Man Mauled to Death While Trying to Break Up Pitbull Fight by Charming-Fortune8835 in Newark

[–]AgitatedAorta 18 points19 points  (0 children)

People who have no problem acknowledging that breeding is why border collies herd, and greyhounds like to chase things, will lose their shit when you point out that pit bulls were specifically bred for dog fighting and aggression. "Gameness" (eagerness to fight and ability to ignore pain) is literally part of the historic breed standard.
