The court/MLK intersection is correct and I have driven by it a few times and the house on MLK/old high st are very pretty but the neighborhood west and south of there is pretty run down, with the exception of Licoln park (which I think technically is South East) Wow, I reread that and it seems like I’m implyin that the mansion is in one of the most dangerous parts of town, which it is not.

Yet another architecturally unique landmark wasting away (there are so many in Newark!)... Incidentally, Google Maps puts it at the corner of Court St. and MLK Blvd., can anyone confirm?

I don't care if Booker wants to live in the most dangerous parts of the city. He can then choose to allow people to live there or host parties or whatever.
