Thank you for this! I felt as if I was driving around myself, watching this. You passed my some of my old neighborhoods, mom’s job, where she’s buried, and ended off at the last place I lived in Newark. It was bittersweet, yet exciting and refreshing to watch. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hey, you showed right where I was born at 115 Central Ave. right across the street from Orange Park. I was born in 1940. Sure brings back memories. And of course you drove past my old high school as well. Cool, and thanks!
I grew up in E.O. It's alot different from the E.O 20 plus year's ago. The crime rate was alot higher back then. The cleanest side of town, was Doddtown. It was considered the suburb side of East Orange, because it was closer to Bloomfield, and a lot more quite. Than across town in the NaughtyVille section.
@@freddykrueger7406ll no. Quality of life is death by a thousand papercuts, unless you just have really low expectations. Constant property damage. The so called “quiet area” (subjective AF) has gunshots nightly year round which radiate through cemeteries and parks and flow up the hill into the suburbs where those living along the DMZ border are constantly traumatized. Motorcycles, sirens 🚨 and speeding motorists. Aggressive 4th world driving. No turning signals. Daily accidents caused by a mix of uncoordinated, entitled and lawless, careless drivers. Throw in the occasional stolen cars and it’s constant stress. Speak to people who have family or jobs which necessitate frequent trips through EO and Orange and put it in a spreadsheet. Trend analysis will show how the majority of them are involved in collisions. New cars totaled. Every night there’s teams of masked young men trying the doors of your home and cars. If you’re living a middle class existence you will be targeted for burglary and home invasion. Casual stick ups on your front porch are very normal in even the calmest blocks of EO. The locals are very much unaware of how they standout anywhere else, but basically they all have illegal full limo tint even in the front windshield. Lots of Altimas. Terrible environment to live in.
It feels very friendly to see a small village out of the magnificent building forest. Looking at these places makes me feel peaceful while driving with you. Thank you, my friend. # L1
Laying where the greens on Central Avenue right across from halves gasoline station Peppermint Lounge the Hollywood Theater met my husband right there on the corner of Oakwood and Central Avenue the green
drive slower please. you missed all the historical sections in orange, such as the seven oaks/montrose section of orange. the deli where the Bush family would dine at, the valley art center, etc
Being from West, East, and Orange as well as Newark i can safely say these areas are all awful slumbuckets. Stay away, dont move here ever, rent is through the roof and crime even higher.
