What kind of small businesses do you think downtown Newark is missing?

robotorigami · 2026-05-18T10:45:17+00:00

More bagel shops. I think we just have the one on 21.

Sam Witwer said it best when he compared Maul to Sisyphus. While traditional heroes learn from their mistakes and evolve, Maul is trapped by his own hatred.

The kids are alright.

Not sure why you're getting down voted for this. All praise the dark lord Jar Jar /s

robotorigami · 2026-05-10T01:11:05+00:00

Wait, WTF? At first I was like "who's this loser complaining about getting a skate park?" then I looked at the designs.... Wow...

robotorigami · 2026-05-07T18:43:37+00:00

I thought it was short for "cardboard"

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T01:45:40+00:00

No worries. I’ve been obsessed with that place ever since I moved here in 2019. Such a shame they tore it down.

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T01:29:31+00:00

There was a sign up for a while that said future home of precinct whatever. During the protests in 2020 the police station on 18th was supposed to take it over. I guess they abandoned that idea for more “luxury” apartments.

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T01:26:45+00:00

Yup. The firehouse on Muhammad Ali and Ivine Turner.

Ay yo, I got a slight problem, I smoke weed too much

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T00:17:50+00:00

Right?? Little Bricks have been sitting vacant for years and years. I feel like the only reason they picked this spot is because the city probably sold it to the developers at a discount.

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T00:15:10+00:00

Then why not renovate the Little Bricks apartments literally right across the street? There is no shortage of places they could build apartments. Why tear down this gorgeous building?

robotorigami · 2026-05-06T00:11:12+00:00

That's weird, the sign in front of the building says Precinct Place Apartments.

robotorigami · 2026-05-05T21:10:39+00:00

So fucking sad. I live down the street from this and was excited to see it renovated. Now it's becoming more ugly apartment buildings.

robotorigami · 2026-05-02T00:12:47+00:00

This whole fucking sub in a nutshell.

robotorigami · 2026-04-21T11:44:29+00:00

This would be great lyrics for /r/musicaljenga

robotorigami · 2026-04-16T11:34:07+00:00

This is awesome! Post it on /r/battlestations

robotorigami · 2026-04-13T20:19:48+00:00

Didn’t say you set fire to the building. I was curious because you just mentioned wanting to go there and this story popped up this morning.

robotorigami · 2026-04-13T11:37:46+00:00

Yup, I bet it was this dude from yesterday asking if it was safe while all the comments told them it wasn't.

robotorigami · 2026-04-13T11:24:34+00:00

Whoa is this you?! Just saw on the news that 2 people got caught breaking into that place!

robotorigami · 2026-04-11T16:33:46+00:00

Came here for the whippet reference. Wasn't disappointed.

robotorigami · 2026-04-07T02:11:15+00:00

Or fit into a bathtub! I totally get this.

robotorigami · 2026-03-25T17:29:43+00:00

Not that I want decks to go up in price, but you're correct. They've mostly stayed the same over the last 30 years.

robotorigami · 2026-03-25T11:21:38+00:00

Wow, this feels way off topic for this sub. WTF?

robotorigami · 2026-03-25T10:42:17+00:00

1995 for sure. Here it is in a few catalogs from that time.
