I worked in Newark for a little over seven years and came to respect Newark for all its history and for all its problems. Maybe this made me more interested in Forest Whitaker’s documentary series, Brick City, on the Sundance Channel. I think you should be interested, too, though.

If you’re reading this site because you love New Jersey and don’t like the way its stereotype is portrayed in the media and on all those MTV shows, you should watch these shows.

This is real New Jersey. All its good parts and all its bad parts.

Let’s face it, New Jersey won’t be taken seriously until someone turns Newark around.

Maybe you don’t think Cory Booker is the answer. You need to at least give him credit for trying.

And, you need to start watching him try. The second season starts on the Sundance Channel on January 30th.
