Uggh. I just want to get off this world sometimes.
Harrison Avenue/Newark Turnpike runs out of Newark east across the Bridge Street Bridge into Harrison, then passes through Kearny as it enters the Meadowlands (the Kearny Wal-Mart is there - definitely wasn’t there in 1976). It continues on across the Hackensack River to exit 15W on the NJ Turnpike (which is also the eastern end of Route 280, still in Kearny), to Tonnelle Circle in Jersey City, where it meets Routes 1 & 9.
South of that, Routes 1 & 9 runs southwest from Jersey City through south Kearny (the “port”, an industrial area) to Ironbound Newark. I believe the ONLY way to travel directly from Newark to Jersey City without passing through Kearny is on Route 78 even further south. Both Kearny and Harrison were settled before 1776, never mind 1976.
My town has both a Shop-Rite and Wal-Mart which attract a lot of shoppers from Newark NJ; the cops are there plenty, and one easily sees why Newark is a “food desert”.
Companies want to reap the public assistance money from the gibsmedats but they don’t want the risks.
Brilliant!
My town grandfathered in existing roll-down steel doors so there are a few but won’t allow any more.
Certainly makes sense for the pharmacies in particular...
BLM are realizing they are serving as the useful idiots of “antifa” by making the anarchist agenda appear more widespread/popular than it really is.
If a dozen pampered white radicals join a hundred blacks protesting a shooting, they can ratchet up the pressure and present the appearance of 112 people ranting against the capitalist system. From this article, it is clear the blacks finally understood the game (though plenty were already complaining on the internet about it).
There you go; thanks for posting!
The Monzas were notoriously light in the front because the engine was in the rear. Going over that bridge I felt as though the car was going to take off and fly, lol. That was years before I left for California in 1976, 1968 to be exact. We lived in an apartment on Van Wagenen Ave, and then later on Academy Street a few blocks from Journal Square. I remember Journal Square as it was in the 1950's and 60's with its 3 big movie theaters, Lowe's, Stanley and a I think the third one was the State, but not sure about that last one.
Corvair had rear engine, Monza was in front. They had a model with a small V8 that was notorious for requiring you take a motor mount loose and raise the engine a bit to change a couple of the spark plugs!
I had a maroon Corvair and the model name was Monza as I recall. You can look up Corvair Monza on an internet search engine. That was over 52 years ago, so I might not have every detail right. But the trunk was in the front. I was a new driver then and and the Corvair was a scary vehicle to have for a first car.
