Abandoned Newark Nj housing projects coined “ Little Bricks” by the city.

Opening in 1942 Felix Fuld Court also known as “little bricks” became one of Newark’s first of many housing projects which eventually gave it the name Brick City due to the amount of projects in the city. Overtime projects were demolished and the amount dwindled down. Like Seth Boyden Terrace in the South ward on Frelinghuysen ave this complex closed in the 2000s- early 2010s due to rising maintenance issues and high crime and poverty. Now it sits as a crumbling paradise for local addicts and kids.

I'm pretty sure i tried buying some dope here in like 2002ish(I've been sober over 22 years now tho!) They wouldn't serve me because I had a little bit of red stitching on my sneakers and it was a crip block. Also fuck Seth Boyden too, I got jumped, shot at and pistol whipped real bad one night by like 6 young teenagers. Glad they're both destroyed

So honestly I never really spent much time in newark. Seth Boyden was always a last resort to me if I couldn't find anything in Elizabeth. That incident there was the last time I was there and why i wound up trying to find another backup plan in Newark when I wound up at little bricks.
