Feel Good Story of the Day: Downtown Newark
Despite losing the Nets, the city's downtown is getting great press.
The New Jersey Nets are about to move to Brooklyn. But remarkably, their former home isn't taking much of a hit.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, downtown Newark is on the upswing, with hundreds of millions of dollars in new development. This includes a Courtyard by Marriott hotel (the first hotel to be built downtown in 40 years), a mixed-use development nearby, and Hotel Indigo (a former bank building).
