Newark

I grew up in Newark, and it ain't working class no more. Peterbilt is gone, the U.S. Steel plant in nearby Union City is gone. There are no more condos than homes in Newark, and its police force has turned the city where I grew up into a police state. You know how most trespassing signs read "Trespassers Will Be Cited"? Not in Newark. Now it's "Trespassers Will Be Arrested."

Well of course they would, how else to justify the huge number of cops and their luxurious new SUVs??
