Newark Avenue, much like its namesake city, is in need of a facelift. The city of Newark might have Cory Booker, but the Avenue has Steven Fulop. The Ward E councilman has a plan to <a href=\"http:\/\/stevenfulop.com\/streetplan.htm\">clean up<\/a> the former retail center of the downtown with new sidewalks, streetscape accessories, and fancy old lights. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, the effort might need more than a few benches and trash cans &#8212; though that would be a nice place to start. Take for example the empty lot at 209 Newark Avenue. You may not have heard of it, but you&#8217;ve probably seen it. Just west of Jersey Avenue, the site has been approved for apartments. But the <a href=\"http:\/\/moussanabil.tripod.com\/\">current owner<\/a> it seems has more interest in selling the land than actually building anything. And for a cool <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loopnet.com\/xNet\/MainSite\/Listing\/Profile\/ProfileSE.aspx?LID=14747827&#038;linkcode=1070&#038;sourcecode=1lww2t006a00001<br \/>&#8220;>$6.3 million<\/a>, you could be a part of redevelopment efforts. A few facts for you, just in case you have more money than we do:<\/p>\n<p>209 &#8211; 217 Neawrk Ave<br \/>Lot Size: 95,000 SF<br \/>Price: $6,300,000<br \/>Price\/Acre: $2,888,715.67<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the point is that at the moment, a block long empty lot is doing little to clean up the last downtown frontier. The other empty store fronts aren&#8217;t much of a help either. Considering there is only one restaurant in restaurant row, we think Newark Avenue needs a little more than pretty benches and cobblestone pavers. But that&#8217;s just us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The name Newark doesn&#8217;t exactly conjure up images of a pretty, downtown main street.
