Scenes from Newark Ave. Streetscaping














































I don’t really know why I take these pictures. It’s basically where I walk just about every day. The shovel-ready streetscape project is underway. I like to watch construction. I try to notice things, like how a section is done—old sidewalks torn up and new sidewalk cement poured—but it is not sequential. The section that is worked on after one section is completed is not the section right next to the finished one, it’s down the street. Some stores have had a dirt sidewalk entrance for weeks, others are already scaped. Unfair, yet it does seem systematic. I guess I’ll keep taking these pictures and rounding them every so often. I won’t post them in order either. Just scenes, moments of transformation. Hard work. How did we get here from there? One day, another day.
