One summer, late at night when we were in bed with our windows open, we heard some kid singing and playing Britney Spears’ Hit Me, Baby, One More Time on his acoustic guitar. He was not good.

Is it by Independence Park? There’s a church over there that always seemed to be blasting bad music when I lived in that neighborhood. Never did pinpoint which one.

It actually might be that. It is coming from that direction. It is very vet odd. Maybe I'll go explore next weekend.

Sometimes it’s all day. And yeah the person yelling and “singing” into the pa is tone deaf. No idea who actually attends, it might be one of those things where there’s free food if you’ll listen to some preaching and bad music.

Edit: there’s also the Haitian(?) church on Union St. Once a month or so a bunch of buses would show up and they’d have a big service. Otherwise it was closed most of the time. Way better musicians, and not early in the morning. The Galician church would ring some decent tunes on their bells sometimes. Everyone has a sound to make in that neighborhood, it was interesting.

I think you’re hearing the sidewalk preacher in Edison Park by Newark Penn Station.
