A Walk Through Newark with David Hartman and Historian Barry Lewis, aired August, 2002. Seventh in this series for Channel 13, Newark rose to prominence in the 19th century as the western gateway to the New York metropolitan region. Riding high in the 1880's to 1950's period, skidding low in the 1960's to 80's, today Newark is on its way back with first-rate cultural facilities, varied housing stock, Olmsted designed parks & ready accessibility to just about everywhere. Newark is where Brooklyn was 25 years ago: un-discovered, under-priced but with a great future.
