Newark Police At Smith & Atlantic.

Newark Police At Smith & Atlantic. by woodendesigner.
This was the head of Smith street and Atlantic avenue. Newark police cars lined up. Apparently NJ state police, Newark police, NYPD, NYPD highway and a couple of other police agencies joined in this chase. The chase started in Newark NJ and ended at Smith and Pacific streets in Brooklyn NY. Note the Brooklyn Industries flag here. Never a dull moment in Brooklyn.

I passed by about an hour before this happened. This is not far from my house and I shot this about 40 minutes after the chase ended.

ooh, ooh! I missed this! "Trendy Restaurant Row on Smith Street"! Awesome.

Anyone else really excited about the "New St. Clair" Restaurant?

Hey Nathan, make sure to tag with "gothamist."

Chiming in on the New St. Clair - I liked the old one; hope the same people are running it. They made a pretty good omelette. When does it re-open?

I know the daughter of "the old St. Clair" and the last time I saw her she said they were bought out and promised the old owners they wouldn't change a thing, which of course means it will be completely different. I loved the way you could go there and not run into one person who looked like they belonged in Williamsburg...

Field trip! Let's go!

Too bad about the old owners. Maybe it will be good anyway.
