The beautiful #artdeco #architecture & #urbanism of #Newark's Penn Station. An absolutely wonderful restoration job; I particularly love how they kept the old signs alongside new ones. An excellent way to preserve the history of the building! I wish the area between the station and the core of downtown was better... it's a terrible introduction to the city. But small steps. #trains #transit #transportation #cities #newjersey A post shared by Blair Lorenzo (@foxandcity) on Jul 19, 2017 at 10:47am PDT

A trip to examine the #urbanism of #Newark, #NJ! Just a brief overview; hopefully I will post more in the upcoming days, but here are some brief descriptions: 1) Great overview of Newark, w/ the #DockBridge & #NewarkPenn 2) Gorgeous #ArtDeco #Architecture of #NewarkPennStation's waiting room! 3) Near Penn, Newark has some of the least friendly streets I've been on in a Northeastern city: little #walkability, and very Houston-like. 4) Military Park #Trolley Station & #DowntownNewark's more traditional struture! 5) A view from Military Park, looking over the #skyline 6) A street of #RowHouses converted for local retail 7) Beaver Street, looking North from Market forms a beautifully #urban alley 8) In contrast to Downtown, the streets of the #Ironbound-especially #FerrySt-have a gorgeous, human texture filled with mainly local stores. 9) Goregous view of Downtown from the #PassaicRiver 10) And I can't help but close with some #transit & #railroad history: a classic sign seen at #PATH's #HarrisonStation Enjoy! #UrbanPlanning #WalkingTours #Exploration #NewJersey A post shared by Blair Lorenzo (@foxandcity) on Jul 14, 2017 at 11:00am PDT

Riverbank Park in #Newark, #NJ's #Ironbound on a rainy day. Wonderful park on the Passaic river, save the expressway-style street you have to cross to get to it. Still, beautiful views of Newark's #skyline & #urbanism! A post shared by Blair Lorenzo (@foxandcity) on Jul 15, 2017 at 10:37am PDT
