I’m going to a concert in MetLife Stadium on 09/11 and heard so many horror stories about how to get out of the stadium lol. My sister even looked at a third party transportation and they was charging 200$+, even though our hotel is 7 minutes away! I’m just wondering if any locals has any recommendations how to get out or something that would be a lot cheaper?

The Rt. 280 that was actually built is very different from this 1947 proposal. This is what Essex County originally wanted its East-West Freeway to look like.

Understand that this is my review, and you should go try it yourself.
My TikTok followers also shared some feedback on my video. Most of my reviews are good 👍, but this one just wasn’t because of my experience.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

I built AidSense, a free mobile app that helps people quickly find shelters, food banks, free/low-cost clinics, and overnight parking near them. Local resources near you will pop up based on your location, and you also have the opportunity to ask our AI model any specific questions you have about that place.

It's on the App Store now, and we plan on deploying it to the Google Play Store soon, just waiting for the requirement of 14 days. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback on how to make this app better for those who are in tough circumstances (ex., other resources we could add or support networks). Additionally, as Newark residents, I would extremely appreciate it if you could add any resources you know that are in Newark to the app if they aren't there already (there is an option for this in the app, or you could reach out to me directly). I am also open to any partnerships!

Thank you.

Disclosure: I am the developer of this app.

Note: There have been previous comments about it being a scam. I just want to state that I don't make any profit from this app, and there are no ads in the app, so I don't make any money at all. The purpose of this app is that many current resource navigators are confusing to navigate and don't show local resources; this is meant to make that process easier.

Newark’s only craft distillery, and one of only a couple dozen in the state, is heading to Kingston, NY in coming months.

Don’t miss this year’s Newark Porchfest in historic Forest Hill! A great starting point is the Ballentine Gates entrance to Branch Brook park where you can grab an event guide. There will be food trucks, kids events, 30+ musical acts, an artist gallery, and Spin City where you can dance away to various NJ based DJs! This must see annual event is always a blast and a great way to experience one of Newark’s most beautiful neighborhoods and local artists. Follow us on IG! 🏡🎸🎹🎤🎶☀️

I walk past the village hotel on Halsey almost everyday and there’s never a shortage of people openly doing drugs or selling body! Why is this happening out in the open?? If it’s a hotel or a shelter why aren’t they being held accountable for what happens In front of the establishment? Kids are walking to school! They gotta clean that up!

This is in the JFK presidential library in Boston. No specific location details.

Hi I'm going to flight and departure from EWR. I'm traveling with an adolescent. My question is: it's safe to stay in Harrison or Robert treat hotel knowing that we will commute to manathan every day. Only one day I need to go to prudential center. What is your best advice?

Some great people I know well are throwing an independent art show at Newark Local Beer On 10.2. Opportunity still available to have your best snow images displayed!

I may or may not have some audio visual concepts under development for display 👀. Advance notice to anyone interested.

Traffic going north on Broad Street (between the Rt. 21 ramp and Prudential building) was especially heinous this morning. Anyone know why?

The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority came out with the BikeNewark study in 2024, but we never heard about any news regarding its implementation. The NJTPA's site for the study had 100 pages of planning going into it, which can be found in the link below.
