Thanks for sharing. Always blows my mind Newark was one of the last places he visited before he was assassinated

What’s crazy is how none of these buildings exist anymore

Why do you say they don’t exist anymore? That looks like Clinton Hill to me…

…and it still looks like that?

I think this street is what MLK Blvd is now. These buildings r too old of an architectural style to be anywhere but rly close to downtown and if u look at the old buildings that still stand on MLK today they look just like this but over half of them r gone and the ones that r still there r so dilapidated.

Yeah, except MLK/ High Street is a wide Road. If you're view perspective is good, you will quickly realize that road is too narrow to be MLK. The only part of MLK that narrow is in North Newark and that was mostly white Italian and Puerto Rican at the time with Columbus homes having replaced that entire neighborhood.

I think this was one of newark's north south numbered streets from 1st to 22nd Street.

MLK around Court and W Kinney is about this wide. There’s no way of knowing tho. It’s def in central ward

Where is this pic taken?

I think it’s MLK but it’s gotta be somewhere close to downtown based on the age of the look of the buildings. I doubt half of them exist anymore

That could be any of newark's north/south Teen streets. It could also be where Society hill, NJIT or even UMDNJ is today.
