Newark fails to attract immigrants, which is fatal to a city. Immigration brings life. Newark needs to be more like Queens. Once upon a time, it was. For example, the article mentions the redevelopment of a mansion once owned by one "Gottfried Krueger". Who was this man? From [1]: > [The family's brewing tradition] began in 1853, when a teenage Gottfried Krueger arrived in America fresh from his birthplace on the banks of Germany's famous Rhine River. Newark, like most major cities, boasted dozens of breweries by mid-century. [...] [A]n exploding population of European immigrants spurred a demand for the lighter, less alcoholic German-style lager beer. Within a short time, German immigrant brewers had perfected a uniquely American version of lager beer. [...] The ever-burgeoning condition of their industry offered German-American brewers inroads to positions of leadership within the community. Of this, Gottfried Krueger took full advantage. He was first elected Freeholder, and then, in 1876 and 1879, served as a New Jersey Assemblyman. Who is today's Gottfried Krueger, and where is he setting up shop? Maybe not in Newark, but in another town nearby... [1] https://www.beerhistory.com/library/holdings/krueger.shtml https://www.beerhistory.com/library/holdings/krueger.shtml
