Newark is a hunting ground 2 miles from New York City. Apparently, people also live there; over 250,000 people to be exact, and it is the largest city in New Jersey. Newark is also one of the destinations in the video game Oregon Trail. Newark was created in the 1800's as a dumping ground for homeless people and organized crime members (see 9/11), when city officials conceived an experiment in which they would send about 50,000 felons to a nearby wilderness area and arm them all with guns and knives just to see what would happen. Obviously, we all see how that experiment turned out.
