not country, but soft...and not just other urban areas.....the rest of jersey (outside of e.o.)
played sports and did academic activities, so i traveled a lot to other cities as a student
did notice that other places didn't pick up clothing styles and trends as fast as we did..they'd have on gear and sneakers that were hot 6 months ago....
other places in jersey looked at everybody from newark as criminals and scum.....felt good leaving holding the trophies and wondering how those kids would explain losing to some kids from newark......

When I was a kid, I use to think Plainfield was the burbs because I had family who moved to the sleep hollow section out there. But once I start moving around I realized that was furthest from the truth.

Elizabeth I thought was urban. Plainfield was a little bit but thats partially because I got a lot of fam over there on my dads side and they were all from Georgia and in the 80s it wasn't that bad of a town. Shyt over there started going downhill when the Bloods and particularly the Crips started having a heavier presence in the late 90s. My grandparents lived there until 3 years ago but the thugs never messed with them in part because of my grandma feeding those kids over the years and our heavy presence in the community and they were in the rougher part of town.

For #1 certain blocks/hoods will be better or worse than others but as someone whose been in it often enough via family, friends, and going to high school in the city I'd say the South and Central Wards in general (though the Central Ward is where all the Downtown gentrification is going on). Dudes who spent their whole upbringing there will be able to tell you which specific blocks are straight up no-nos especially for a female living on her own.
1. Stay away from below Clinton Avenue
2. Never went there but know quite a few old classmates from HS who did. It's a pretty decent school when it comes to education for STEM, but it's a huge sausage fest and it's heavily commuters than on campus residents.

1. How much does car insurance actually run you ?
2. Is Jersey worth it if you aren't going to New york constantly? New york of course is just that. New york. But can I find enough to do in Jersey without getting bored? Shopping, clubs, bars, things to do with kids.

I went to summer school a few times at Newark Academy and I would have to take the 70 bus all the way to Livingston Mall. Seeing suburban towns like Millburn and Summit was a trip to me as kid. It was all nice, clean and quaint, felt like I was in another state or country than Newark or NYC.

You indirectly answered your first question.
For anybody who is an outsider...all things considered, the area where all the colleges converge is probably the best place to rent. Definitely some of the safest blocks in the city.
Are you a New Yorker?

Authorities say two bodies were found in a lake in Weequahic Park Saturday.
The woman and man, both who have not been identified, were pulled from the lake after authorities were called to the area over reports of a body floating in the lake, according to Thomas Fennelly, the agency's chief assistant prosecutor.
The woman was found first and pronounced dead at 11:25 a.m., authorities said in a release.
The man was found later as Essex County Sheriff's officers and Newark firefighters searched the lake and park. He was pronounced dead at 3:03 p.m., the release said.
The cause and manner of death will be determined by an autopsy by the Regional Medical Examiner's Office, Fennelly said.
Both incidents are being investigated by the prosecutor's office.

Sadly, they're taking it back to the old school. When I was in high school there were rumors of bodies being found there all the time.
For some reason, reading this story , I think they were killed outside of Essex County, driven and dumped there .
