I thought the picture of the platform looked too clean to be the NJ city!<br />Although my parents were born & raised in Newark & I was born there we'd moved out before I was a year old. My grandparents fled during the riots in '64-'65.<br />I still have some die hard maternal relatives who live in the Ironbound section which is relatively safe having been repopulated with hardworking people from Cuba & Portugal.<br />Sad example of "The Tale of Two Cities" where the 1st is a tiny island in a sea of despair.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731814137504769770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-60404203027391131142015-07-12T18:51:16.626-04:002015-07-12T18:51:16.626-04:00wowwowUr-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-44839664766893963532015-07-12T16:09:21.532-04:002015-07-12T16:09:21.532-04:00My dad used to fly in and out of Newark in the lat...My dad used to fly in and out of Newark in the late 60's. He probably left a butt or two along the way!<br /><br />My boss and I landed there once, taxied to the GA terminal, picked up some RCA transmitter parts, and flew back to Petersburg. Not terribly exciting.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978841487723754585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-71340036752003936442015-07-12T10:20:50.516-04:002015-07-12T10:20:50.516-04:00David,

Believe it or not, I commuted from Philadelphia to Newark daily for a month or so until I couldn't take it anymore and I requested a change of jobs. The bank (First Fidelity) where I worked in Newark was located right in downtown. Interesting thing that you had to take a glass enclosed catwalk from the bank building to the Newark train station. I remember the first day I was at the bank and I asked where was a good place to go to lunch. I was informed that "one doesn't go outside for lunch." Ever been to downtown Newark?
