Reply to comment by tuggyforme in how is it like for Indians in newark? by Klutzy-Tackle-

Your "source" links to a non-government website that provides no source for anything it is saying. It cites data that (if it is accurate at all) is 12 years out of date. It does not compare Newark to other cities, much less compare crime to other cities on a per capita basis. So your argument isn't supported by anything other than prejudice.

Crime stats have dramatically improved in Newark in recent years especially. It largely escaped the uptick in violent crime seen in other large cities. I live and work downtown and the notion that this is some kind of dystopian hellhole is just a lie. Newark has a lot of challenges but it is a great city and it is generally moving in the right direction.

You're entitled to your own opinion (even if based on prejudice), but you are not entitled to your own facts. I would encourage the OP to research the publicly available data, and not listen to bigots and haters.

Thank you everyone for your responses. We went to Swahili Village, and we were very happy with how it went. Food was excellent, generous portions, attentive service and we liked the atmosphere. Total damage $100.

Reply to Skating, Igloos and More! Newark Winter Village Returns for the Holiday Season by madsheb

I did this last year with my gf and daughter and it was actually a lot of fun (and I'm a terrible skater). The kids have a great time & some of the folks are talented skaters. There's also something cool about being able to walk to a rink and skate among the high rises of Newark.

People complaining about this need to take a happy pill -- and a reality check. I go to Mulberry Commons with some regularity and it's usually nearly empty. The idea that having the winter village is denying people use of the space is laughable.
