	The Weequahic Diner: A Newark Landmark & Tradition
		It occupied a triangular strip of land at 306-308 Elizabeth Avenue bounded by Hawthorne Avenue on the south and E. Peddie Street on the north.
		At the time Leo Bauman opened the Weequahic Diner in 1938, Newark's large Jewish population concentration had largely shifted out of the old Third Ward and into the Clinton Hill/Weequahic neighborhoods, and with its location at the foot of Hawthorne Avenue, the diner more or less straddled both neighborhoods and quickly became a landmark.
		While the Weequahic Diner was thriving and bustling around the clock during the 1940s and 1950s, the Jewish population in the Clinton Hill/Weequahic area was moving out of Newark to Hillside, Union, and the West Essex suburbs.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 10. Up from Weequahic. Elaine Showalter. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sometimes the announcement of a book just leaps out of a publisher's catalog and grabs you by the throat, and such was the case with this study by Sherry Ortner, a MacArthur Prize- winning anthropologist who has made her career as an authority on the Sherpas and on gender.
		She sees Weequahic as typical of late-'50s America in a couple of respects: its middle- and lower-middle-class distribution and its participation in the "renormalization of the family" after the war, which endorsed conventional gender and family models and disguised serious disruption.
		In particular, Ortner's insistence that the Jewishness of Weequahic was not a very significant factor in the life experiences of the class members seems to ignore or deny some of the most intriguing implications of the study.

		Using aerial and street-level photos and historic postcards, Zakalak traced the development of the area form the agricultural experiments and the Waverly Fairs of the late 19th century through the development of the park by the Olmsted Brothers and the neighborhood by major developers in the early 20th century.
		She noted that Weequahic once housed a flock of sheep, a busy boathouse, and formal rose gardens, and can claim the oldest public golf course in the nation.

	The Chronicle: 8/8/2003: High-School Confidential
		Even though the Weequahic of the mid-1950s was a relatively peaceful place where high-achieving students were honored -- or at least not spat upon -- it was still, like every high school, a hothouse for social anxiety and subtle sadism.
		The Weequahic of the mid-1950s was ethnically almost homogeneous, as roughly 85 percent of the graduating class was Jewish.
		For example, in her account of Weequahic's academic tracking system and its attendant inequalities, she does not lay the entire burden on guidance counselors and other school officials.

	Chancellor Avenue, Newark
		The Weequahic district of Newark was the last to be developed.
		Weequahic High School was built in 1931 and was 95+ percent Jewish through the 1950s.
		Thus, Jewish Weequahic was doomed by the upward mobility of its children as much as it was by the construction of I-78, post-WWII anti-urban policies, and the Riots.

According to tradition, the cove of Weequahic Park, now the lake, was the border between the Hackensack and Raritan bands of the Lenni-Lenape.

		The final score was 90-68 in favor of Weequahic, which turned large portions of the game into a freewheeling playground affair once Roselle was forced to get out of its 1-2-2 zone.

	Camp Weequahic
		The ideal with which it was started is that with which it continues - simply stated, to provide the best in camping.
		This goes far beyond the facilities and the beauty of its 104 acres located in its Wayne County, PA., location, although these are certainly part of what has made Weequahic a place of which its directors have always been proud.
		The children who return summer after summer may learn new activities and improve in old favorites, but what they will most remember about their camp days is the warm, caring environment, once in which friendships, not rivalries, are encouraged; where self-sufficiency and tolerance in learning to live with others is taught.

	Philip Roth -- Literary Superstar -- Newark's Weequahic Section Hero
		But it was soon evident that this was an important new writer of explosive wit, and merciless insight and fierce compassion for his characters...
		It was a popular pastime during Roth's early years as an author for former Weequahic High schoolmates, teachers, neighbors, girlfriends, and relatives to scrutinize his newly-published books to see if they could recognize themselves or someone they knew.
		As the locale of the book was largely Newark's Weequahic neighborhood where Roth spent his formative years, I was led to wonder what a "Weequahic accent" sounded like.

	Reviews
		Besides identifying Weequahic High School by name, the novel specifies such sites as the Empire Burlesque, the Weequahic Diner, the Newark Museum and Irvington Park, all local landmarks that helped shape the youth of the real Roth and the fictional Portnoy, both graduates of Weequahic class of '50.
		The author, who was born in 1933, the year his high school opened, went to Bucknell University and did graduate work at the University of Chicago before publishing "Goodbye, Columbus" in 1959, "Letting Go" in 1962 and "When She Was Good" in 1967.
		Weequahic overtones appeared in "Goodbye, Columbus," which chronicles how a poor Newark youth ventures into nearby Short Hills for a summer affair with a coed surrounded by her wealthy Jewish family.

		Since the Lincoln Park walking tour went so well, we are going to be offering yet another walking tour, this one of Weequahic, home of Phillip Roth and, in my opinion, Newark's best urbanism.
		The beginning of the tour will skirt Weequahic Park, learning about the history of this neighborhood and park.
		In general, the first half of the tour will be about the development of Weequahic, Weequahic Park, and Newark, the second half will be more about Weequahic's Jewish days.
