I'm like the whitest dude ever and I ride jitneys all the time. They will often stop for me if I am far away and they see me running. I have never experienced what you are describing. Is there something else about your appearance which you are not sharing?

That is too a joke. That reporter couldn't have left the downtown/Penn Station area. I looked at properties in Newark a few times this Summer and decided against investing there after the SECOND time random people ran out of houses and started chasing my car. One house I looked at on 14th Ave had the calcified carcass of a dog in the backyard.

And that was before I ventured toward the Clinton/Avon area. Stay away from Newark, unless you move right into Downtown or along Ferry St. in the Ironbound.
