First of all, I have to say that they don't call New Jersey the Garden State for nothing. It is a really beautiful state, even if Newark is not its shining crown jewel. A few of you have commented that Newark is prettier than they thought it would be. And I admit, the pictures I posted show a different side of Newark. My hope is that someday, this is the side of Newark everyone will see. It has a lot of potential because of its past. There are many amazing buildings. Still, I think you should see the contrast.
A picture of a tree I passed by on my way to Branch Brook Park - I think it sits on the Rutgers campus in Newark.
Again, the beautiful cathedral - I believe it's called Sacred Heart
And what I ran into on my walk there. SAD!!! And this is what people think of when they think of Newark.

I think you need to broaden your perspective a little. That last picture is known as Urban Reality Art. It's beautiful.
especially the disgusting, half eaten hot dog in the middle of the pile. so gross!
