Thank you for showing us more of Newark than I ever cared to see again.
I was there once for a meeting at Prudential's offices. Some guy pushing a coat rack on wheels came up to our hire car and tried to sell us used shirts. Frankly I don't even like flying out of that airport.

I don't think that's Newark's problem at all. If anything it should have a huge advantage, sitting in the midst of a very wealthy metropolitan area (with some quite affluent New Jersey suburbs nearby), where a lot of people are priced out of Manhattan or even Brooklyn. Proximity to New York at least gives it hope, otherwise it would be like, I don't know, New Haven without Yale. But Newark is almost too big and too far from the show to get a lot of "urban pioneers" interested in moving there.
