Newark Goes 33 Days Without A Murder

 
CNN reports "For the first time in more than four decades, the killings in Newark have stopped -- for the last month, at least -- and the billboards are coming down.

Newark marked its 33rd day Friday without an official homicide, a startling fact for a city that has averaged about two killings a week over the last few years and saw homicides spike 50 percent from 2002 to 2006."

It's a little disconcerting that this is actually NEWS. But I don't think the news is going have a run on rents in the neighborhood, not imminently.
