Only a matter of time before ShopRite lot gets redeveloped along with Newport Mall itself.

It is bad. Feels almost dystopian especially on the street level. Theres also a pitiful excuse for a playground; coincidentally near the sales office for the area.
Newport mall needs an upgrade. It feels like a half-ghetto Short Hills. Its weird because part of me likes half of it (luxury part/decent stores), but there's another side of it that feels isolated and tacky. Better to take the PATH and shop at Century 21 than to get clothing from Newport mall.
