I think that's the reason why Newark hasn't been able to gentrify the way Jersey City and some areas of Brooklyn have. It lacks a largely intact architecturally rich charming district worth gentrifying! The Iron bound is great but it's no Bed Stuy or Historic Old Jersey city.

Unfortunately, it's true. There are some beautiful historical areas, but they are very "thin" and not always cohesive. I think it's a real shame how downtown gives way to the drab 1990's-era townhomes immediately to the west/southwest.

That's an old telephone exchange building. It had some cool engravings of people on old phones.
