Actually, Newark has some of the best water in the nation. Thirty years ago there were some great Breweries in Newark including Krueger, Ballantine, and Hensler.


I can still hear Mel Allen calling a homer in Yankee Stadium....."There goes another Ballantine Blast!"

Exactly.

Say what you will about Newark. I do all the time. But Newark's water is absolutely superb.

I grew up within a stone's throw of the Newark Watershed. It is some of the most unspoiled territory in New Jersey.

And I remember Mel Allen, too. He, Phil Rizzuto, and Red Barber used to call the Yankee games when baseball was worth watching / listening to.

They were great days, but this isn't a baseball thread...
