Irvington?

[njkate]

That entire area..Irvington, Newark, East Orange, Orange is the ghetto at it's worst. No place for kids.

I would not go anywhere near Irvington, especially with kids.

I pray for the safety of my brother who is currently on the Irvington fire dept. Not a nice place. Back in the day (70's) I had a nice apt there in a really nice area. I loved going to Irvington Center for shopping, they had some great stores. like Canadian's, David Burr Men's clothes, Beck's Shoes (average price of shoes was about $8), Cards Galore and the best was Woolworth's and H.L Green, 5&10 cent stores. I literally have tears in my eyes when I think of the ruination of such a nice city. I know most of us remember certain towns with fondness, but what happened in Irvington was most profound. I can't adequately describe it now without offending someone.

Tina, please describe it to me. You can PM if you want. I always hear about Newark, Jersey City, etc. But I do not know much about Irvington and I'm very curious.

I promise I will not be offended and would appreiciate any and all candor.
