You could have 10 Celebrities there at once and attendance numbers would still be mediocre.

GET A LIFE JAMES NELSON.... A BUNCH OF TEEN GIRLS FROM EVERYWHERE AROUND HERE ARE GOING TO BE LINED UP.. JUST BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO GO SEE YOUR FAT ASS.. DOESN'T MEAN THEY WONT WANNA SEE HIM.. KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOUR LONELY ASS SELF PLEASE....

Amy,
I'm so glad you decided to come on here and share you're Insults with me while allowing me and everyone else to see the future of our Country! So in other words you don't care about the Message that Roshon is allegedly encouraging amongst you and your Cliches and are just in it for the Opportunity to see a Celebrity? I think they made a Song about you once.... It's called "You're So Vain".... My Above Comment was referencing the fact that New Park Mall is battling for Relevance and simply having an Supposed Celebrity show up wouldn't do nothing to boost sales for the Mall. I have no Doubt there will plenty of mindless self absorbed Idiotic Teenage Girls in Attendance but how many will actually buy something? I mean without the help of Mommy and Daddy of course. New Park Mall is dying ever so slowly and attempting to boost it's Presence by entertaining the Notion of Celebrity Appearances is just delaying the Inevitable. Funny how you're Interested in an Event that Promotes Anti Bullying in Schools, when you, yourself are admittedly a Bully. Great PR Move for this Mall Event (Sarcasm)..... So do you know any other Words besides Insults & Profanity or are you just another Victim of a Public Education? Clearly you haven't Matured enough to know that you are just a Pawn in someones Game.

James has misplaced his medication again ! Even teenage girls find his rhetoric as repugnant as he is himself,quit attacking children on this forum you bully James !
James Nelson August 11, 2012 at 01:35 pm
Summer who let you out the Cellar?
Concerned Parent August 11, 2012 at 03:22 pm
Will it be safe to step foot at this mall. My kids really want to go but it's frightening to see who will be there. NOt to mention there was a robbery not too long ago and shots were fired!
I pray for the safety of our children!

I'd suggest working thru the Principal at NMHS with less speculation. I too was involved with PTA,Read More Newark Schools Fdn, Jaycees and other non-profits. Best practices are that the one handling, depositing money not also be the one keeping books. A great volunteer shouldnt be put under suspicion without there being group neglect. By-laws and an active Board can cleanup this miscommunication. The school Principal is the MOD.
Dan June 17, 2013 at 07:40 am
I agree 100% with CT
Andrea " Andy " June 18, 2013 at 10:10 pm
I helped run the Snack Shack for 10 years presented a Binder to Coach with all Accounting of allRead More monies provided for deposit - Its real simple if any Booster member requests to see Books - Give them the Books for review - I do not understand why this has not been done - Even if seen in 2010 this is 2013 and things change and the Membership is entitled to regular Audits on the money they worked so hard to raise. So produce, show and review!!!!!
Mona Taplin June 15, 2013 at 06:23 pm
Good response Teddy, and truth.
Bong Sativa June 17, 2013 at 05:57 am
The more likely explanation is that the vast majority of Newark Police officers lack the requisiteRead More aptitude & agility necessary to fill shopping bags with groceries & didn't want to do anything to further embarrass themselves while under the scrutiny of the bewildered shoppers like James.
Teddy June 17, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Bong Sativa maybe you can meet Officer Indica.
Shimadog June 15, 2013 at 10:10 am
Could it be that, because busloads of inner city non resident children jam the place, someone wiselyRead More decided to make the hours available to Newark taxpayers first?
Audrey June 15, 2013 at 10:27 am
Yes they are walking as I write this! but it is not to late to sponsor them! please!!!
Mona Taplin June 13, 2013 at 04:03 am
This probably sounds heartless, but it sounds like this house should be condemned before a tragedyRead More occurs. I doubt if any organization can bring it up to code because of the cost. It's really sad to see this happening to a working person in this country.
Adam Moe June 13, 2013 at 09:47 am
I'm not sure if your mom will qualify but there are lines of credit out there that she can get as aRead More home owner. It will require her to have the income to pay back small portions at a time. Not trying to make it harder just trying to help. See about it online or let me know more and I'll see what I can do to help.
Teddy June 16, 2013 at 07:00 am
Mona Taplin you are right on re: all your remarks.
Tony June 16, 2013 at 05:33 pm
Thanks James!, You know it's amazing when somebody puts their own personal time to learn andRead More understand something and then you share it... I would have been more then glad to explained myself in more detail face-to-face because I may learn something myself but like a marriage you don't get on here and start posting every little detail about you and your wife and I'm not going to get on here and start posting every little detail about my past employer`s. So to whoever flagged me you could have simply posted a disagreement and I'm open-minded and can admit when I make a mistake...I would've simply deleted my post if you could've proved it wrong.
James Nelson June 18, 2013 at 07:58 am
Tony, You are an upstanding individual, glad you joined the Patch! ;)
James Nelson June 18, 2013 at 08:11 am
I would also like to point out that I have on two other occasions asked this Mike Bucci guy the sameRead More question and each time I am Ignored. If this is what us Newark Residents can expect from an aspiring Politician then he can keep his day job! We already have enough Status Quo people in our gov failing to answer the simple questions.
James Nelson June 5, 2013 at 09:11 pm
Landline? That's like so 15 years ago! People still do home telephone services? Wow!
Dina Murtaza June 9, 2013 at 08:41 am
Yes I have a cell phone and a landline when I am working. Lots of people have it as a 2nd phone.Read More Found out the people working on the lines accidently cut off the phone lines.
Audrey June 6, 2013 at 05:36 pm
have they been claimed yet anyone know??
Anna Locke June 7, 2013 at 09:17 am
UPDATE! Just got a call this morning from a neighbor of the man who owned them. The gentleman diedRead More Mon or Tues and the poor dogs hadn't been well taken care of for years - slept outside, no affection, etc. Long story short - the neighbor wants to adopt them! YAY! <3
Anna Locke June 5, 2013 at 01:35 pm
Make sure to post on Facebook. He may have a microchip...hopefully. You can take him to CentralRead More Vet to check. Good luck! I just found two at the Lake Monday evening.
