I got lost in Newark trying to get to the Enterprise rental to drop of a car and then hit the Newark airport to fly back to Portland. I was visiting family in Nyack NY and flew into Newark. I ended up in a bad place. I was turning around in a driveway at what appeared to be an abandoned house and a group of thugs started coming towards me. They were going "Hey bro" "Hey bro". I didn't know a Mercury Sable could go as fast as that rental did. I got the hell out of there fast. I would have ran them over if I had to. They did not have good intentions and this was back when Newark had been named murder capital of America. It was an extremely unnerving situation.

I grew up in NJ.....a nice area.....but def worked in those areas growing up. And was allowed to go to some areas because of who I went in with. Show respect, not fear......and don't act like someone your not......happy that got me through a lot of situations.

I had to go out today for the first time in two weeks. I had to get a c02 refill, some gardening supplies, and some lamb for tomorrow.

The grow shop where I exchanged the co2 bottle wouldn't let customers in. You had to ring the bell, they would ask you what you wanted, and then they would bring it to you; money/cc was exchanged at the door. Almost curbside delivery.

The other was at the meat shop. It's a small grocery store/meat shop. The owner was standing outside with mask asking people to line up 6 feet apart on the sidewalk, and was only allowing 8 people in the store at a time. He had marked off spots on the floor 6 feet apart to separate customers waiting for the meat counter. They also had popular items like leg-o-lamb and ham in a cooler well before the meat counter. Then the cashier had a plexiglass cough shield between them and customers. All the employees were in masks and gloves.

And most of the garden centers do pre-order with curbside pickup. I could get used to this. ;)

Almost everyone I saw while out was wearing a mask.

People can be taught. There is hope for people, at least in some places. ;)

I've seen a lot of bad areas in the north east but the worst I ever saw was somewhere in or near L.A. I wasn't driving so I can't recall the area but it was a section closed off with one entrance in. People were lying on the side walk, drugs were sold openly and the end of street was barricaded by the city, a couple of police cars were on the opposite side just hanging there with their lights on with no plans on entering the area. Never did appreciate my friend driving into it but we went in, drove up to the barricade, made a u turn and drove out without incident. Never saw an area worse than that. Worse street driving was taking the short cut down Rosecrans in Compton at midnight to get from the 710 to a casino on the other side. Needed gas and it took a while driving through before being able to stop at what appeared to be a decent gas station.
Spent a fair amount of time in east LA at the commerce casino and bicycle club and found the locals extremely nice with only a couple of minor incidents.
Went through the Florence and Normandie intersection early in the day 3 weeks after the riots when Reginald Denny got pulled out of his truck and that area seemed rather quite and normal at the time. The tow truck driver that was taking me back to exchange my rental car said that there were people lining the street a couple of weeks earlier selling all kinds of things looted during the riots.
