Starting underneath the streets at the Washington Street station along the Newark City Subway (now known as the Light Rail).


More subway photos starting at Military Park. The tiles have been beautifully restored and all of the stations are clean and well-lit. Unfortunately, I can't say the same of the streets above ground at some of them.


Exiting at Military Park (or entering, if you will). To the north of the park towers the 60 Park building.


Also in that area since 1930, reflecting that Newark has been one of the nation's banking hubs for generations. (Prudential is still there, for example.)


While we're there, let me go to the air. The southernmost of these three buildings, the first in these photos, is the National Newark Building we just saw from the ground and is still the tallest in Newark. The one next to it, with the castle-like prongs, was the Lefcourt-Newark Building that also dates to 1930 and is also 35 stories tall, making it #2 in the list. Finally, in its own photo is the American Insurance Building at 15 Washington St. Guess what? It, too, opened in 1930.


Another place to exit (or reenter), Newark Penn Station.


Uptown to Broad Street Station.


From trains to planes, Newark Airport at sundown and an old outbuilding along northerly Brewster Road.


Some repurposed buildings along Market St. in downtown. The Broad & Market Tavern is in the Hub of Newark serving you the best. It may have died when Newark lost its hub, but guess what, it has one again! Bring on the booze!


One more Market St. building, and a former bank at that, partially awninged over on the bottom.


St. Columba's Church (1898) is a little off the main drag, South Street at Pennsylvania Avenue. It maintains Roman Catholicism in the Lincoln Park area.
