213 Newark Avenue, a Field’s Development Project, has popped up above the ground level. The six story building fills in a major vacant lot on Newark Avenue, and will include retail as well as apartments. For years, the property sat vacant with a for sale sign. The original five story plan was amended after Field’s […]
An empty lot where Christmas Trees were once sold has a new foundation. The corner lot at Jersey Avenue and First Street, just off Newark Avenue, has sat empty for years. But the chain link fence will soon be replaced by a new structure as a foundation has already been laid.
The Historic Downtown Special Improvement District has been making some big improvements lately. The organization launched a summer concert series in the plaza at the corner of Grove Street and Newark Avenue. That concert series concluded yesterday with WJ & the Sweet Sacrifice, above.

A post on JCList mentions a somewhat famous union rat may have hopped on the PATH for a bit fun in the sixth borough. The work site in question is almost certainly 213 Newark Avenue. UPDATE: New York rats are black, New Jersey Rats are Yellow
New Bar On Newark AvenueA post on JCList points to construction permits issued for 284 First Street. The retail space, which essentially faces Newark Avenue, “has a permit in it’s retail window for construction of a new bar/restaurant.” Good news for local foodies, alcoholics. Fiber Optics Creeping SouthVerizon crews have been scurrying around the Hamilton […]
Two weeks ago we mentioned the arrival of a new Starbucks at Grove Pointe. The Jersey Journal reminds us why print media is so last century, reporting today on Starbuck’s arrival.
Starbucks officially is “Coming Soon” to the base of Grove Pointe, the luxury residential tower on the corner of Columbus and Newark Avenue.
