“The corner meat market was another fixture in our neighborhood. This one at the corner of University Avenue and Orange Street catered to those who had a penchant for freshly processed pork. As the city’s demographics changed from Polish and Italian to Black and Muslim, the kinds of businesses changed, too.

“The corner store used to be called Engelkorn’s. They sold hams, bacon, and pork. This corner store is now Unity Brand Halal. They now sell turkey, lamb, and chicken.”

“I would walk to school in the early 50’s. From High Street, Bank Street, and right to Courthouse Place. I knew several people in these brownstone homes. These were beautiful buildings. I’m still alive at age 77. Most of my dear friends are departed. But my memories of old Newark live on with me.”
