Lincoln Park is a neighborhood just south of downtown Newark, New Jersey. The buildings fronting the park make up one of the more intact historic districts in the city. Moving away from the park, it gets a bit scruffier.
At MLK Blvd, we're on the border of the Belmont-Springfield neighborhood, the heart of Newark's Central Ward. Past this street are blocks and blocks of vinyl-sided townhomes that replaced the public housing towers, which replaced the original neighborhood.
This street offers some of the only clues as to what the area used to look like.
Evidence of past wealth here and there.
