And you know what the sad part about that is Becky? Newark is right on the river and used to be the most beautiful city. My Dad went to school there when I was a little kid and I remember a very different Newark. After the race riots of the 60's, Newark (and Philadelphia too unfortunately) have never been the same. I should add Asbury Park to that list too, and for the same reason
