The stretch of Broad Street between Lincoln Park and South Street!!
(I grew up bouncing around some of the “Plaz” buildings there) I’ve driven by there a few times lately and I feel like there are more drug addicts in that small stretch now, than there were over 25 years ago when I was 12… (back when the Walgreens was just a huge empty lot with overgrown weeds and broken glass). I saw a documentary on HBO Max (“Life of Crime 1984-2020”) not too long ago that followed some drug addicts from like the mid 80’s to 2020 in the Newark area. At one point they were there, on broad street, shooting up! I swear I saw the same scene a week ago when I drove by… one guy was stretched sideways on a set of stairs, while the other guy was looking for a vein to poke in the crease of his big toe 🤦🏽♂️… Sad!! Just Sad…

I was in 164 for years myself
