Disclaimer: Whatever the responce is, the actual event would be 6+ months away, should people express interest.

Would people be at all interested in coming together for an event in the City of Newark?

I have 3 food options in mind, which would include Brazilian Rodizio, a Jersey Diner, and a great American Fusion restaurant. (all in the City of Newark)

Activities could include some airport activities (just random thoughts, but maybe something unique like a tour of the FedEx facility, airline catering, or other things previously unseen), also to include perhaps a baseball game (in Newark), a historical tour (walking or lecture) of the City of Newark, perhaps even the event could be alligned with the dates when Branch Brook Park's Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom -- The largest bloom in the United States -- as well as other truly Newark activities.

I went to college in Newark, and have come to appreciate it for more than an Airport, and I know for many, it is a place to transit on your way to and from home, and you do not give it much thought.

One interesting tidbit: For the most part, the City of Newark stayed loyal to the SOUTH during the Civil War. Why? -- One of Newark's chief industries was leathergoods, which were used for protection during the war, and Confederate Army was one of the main customers!


Looking forward to people's thoughts!
