r/Newark

Help needed. Any suggestions on a good block or intersection to drop off and pick up family at Newark Penn Station? I’ve looked at a map and looked up directions, but it’s still unclear to me. Thanks

Gabriela Soto is 6 months pregnant with two young children, all U.S. citizens. Her husband Martin has been detained by ICE since he took part in a hunger and labor strike, and he has been held in solitary since being transferred to Elizabeth Detention Center over Memorial Day weekend. On the eve of America's 250th anniversary, I sat down with Gabriela and spoke with Martin from inside detention about the conditions, the retaliation, and why he still refuses to sign a voluntary departure.
This is their story, in their own words.

Can anyone who's been to the fan village tell me how early you need to show up to get a table? I was gonna show up at 3pm for a 4pm start but I have a feeling it's gonna be nuts...

anyone know?

Hello I recently did a cleaning of my closet and I have a ton of stuff. I am talking 6-7 large trash bags full of women's clothing. All seasons, sizes 12-18 including casual (jeans and shirts) through formal wear. Lots of stuff with tags and the rest has been worn a few times.

I was going to donate everything but someone suggested I should sell some stuff.

I am really trying to avoid online as the process is so much and for the amount of stuff I have I immediately felt overwhelmed. Id be willing to sell to a store or setup a booth or something and sell thr stuff one random Saturday.

Any ideas, suggestions.....

Hi all, I moved to newark from Cleveland last month, new to the area. Need to learn to drive. In mid 20s. Is there any driving school in newark that teaches adults? Unfortunately dont really have family or friends in the area who can do that for me. Would appreciate suggestions! Thank you

Has anyone else noticed the city using AI-generated imagery for event posters lately? It started earlier this year and seems to be happening way more often now.

For standard events like heat or code blue advisories, they usually just reuse old templates and swap out the dates, which makes sense. But for these big annual events or updates, they’re suddenly using AI infographics. It’s frustrating because last year they had great, human-made posters that just needed quick date and location updates.

Newark is full of incredibly talented artists and designers, so it feels cheap for the city to cut corners using ai to potentially cut out graphic designers and social media managers. It's especially ironic given AI's farmful impact on the enviornment and the city's cemented identity. If we could comtinue paying our graphic designer to create posters for the city, that'd be good too.
