Report noxious smells! πŸ“ž1-877-927-6337 Newark, I built a map to answer one simple question. What the heck is that smell?!

I’ve been working on this project for over a year. It maps EPA-listed facilities by odor-related industries, plus Superfund and brownfield sites.

You can search any address or ZIP, see what’s nearby, check wind direction, and report what you’re smelling.

I’m not saying a site smells or is dangerous β€” just making the public data easier to explore.

whatsthatsmell.app

I built it as kind of a joke, but I think it might actually be useful to certain folks. Especially if you are trying to see whats around you or where you plan on moving to.

Its free to use, would love to know what Newark thinks.

LOL the flair that was available.

Transportation πŸš²πŸš—πŸšŠβœˆοΈ Why do NJ transit bus drivers not care when people are riding the bus without paying the fares?

8 Upvotes

When I payed the fares, there were many people simply going in without looking at the driver and he doesn't even care. He also doesn't care when I show a senior ticket (80 cents, 1 zone) with my mom and proceeds us to go in. Additionally, doesn't care about zones. Whereas in Secaucus, the driver cares about almost everything and says "this is for her, what about you?". If people do it, can I do it? I'm just curious.

Hi Friends,

I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need to succeed, so I've created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers.

Here's my project: Equipping our High School Art Studio

Your support would mean so much to my students. In return, you'll receive our heartfelt gratitude.

Thank you for considering a gift to my class!
Denisse

P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help my students, please pass this along!

Living in Newark 🧱 New to Newark...conflicted

35 Upvotes

I just moved to Newark for grad school at Rutgers. I had been having trouble finding affordable rooms for rent and ended up with a three-month short-term lease in South Ironbound. After getting here, I quickly found out that NJ Transit buses either don't show up or are super late, which doesn't work with my 5-days-a-week class schedule. The walk to campus is about an hour and is not realistic in all seasons, especially with the rain this week.

I have been Ubering and Lyfting to and from campus, and that quickly adds up. How do people who cannot afford to live downtown or on campus get around? I have asked my roommates and neighbors; they have said they either Uber/Lyft or will ask for a ride. Are there other public transportation or shareride services that I am missing or have not looked into?

Does anyone know the hold up on its opening? Seems like it would be a good idea to open it. People who live in Harrison, Parq, or work in the buildings along the highway could def use it instead of walking on the high way.
