The War Zone A Story of Christopher Columbus Homes Newark New Jersey Projects People Who Lived There Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615240657)

Whenever I go online to perform research, I often spend some time revisiting Newark, New Jersey the city where I grew up. I find negative accounts of living there overwhelming in comparison to the positives, especially those stories depicting life in the hi-rise public housing projects that have now been almost totally demolished. Even some former residents of many of these types of federal housing projects with whom I have discussed their views mouth the same negatives. Their description as hideous, non-viable, or poorly planned blights to surrounding neighborhoods that festered with crime and drugs belies another reality. I hope my story straightens out many of those misconceptions.
