Newark Streets

Old Newark

Raymond Blvd & Broad Street
Why Does the Chicken Cross the Road? The answer to that one is easy. Why does a Rhode Island Red hen cross busy Broad Street and Raymond Boulevard, Newark? Neither the biddy who sold her for a quarter to a bus driver, nor the passersby she diverted for nearly an hour, can answer that riddle. She just arrived and nonchalantly strolled across the street - with the traffic light of course. March 16, 1943
