A book is being created to celebrate Newark’s 250th anniversary, and you can be in it.

Planned to be around 300 pages, long, the book will contain information about the City as well as pictures of people who live or work in Newark. Wall Flowers Press is working on putting together this Histories of Newark book.

According to the City’s Web site:

Photos will be taken on Fridays and Saturdays, starting March 30 through May 5, from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the former CVS building at the corner of Main and Academy Streets.

Just walk in. Bring your family, friends, or team. Come as you are, wear a hat or a uniform, ride a skateboard or walk the dog in front of the camera.

They are going to supposedly use photos on every page of the book, and plan on taking a minimum of 3,000 photos.

The book index is online, and it looks like it should be a pretty interesting look back at the history of Newark. If you would like to be part of it, make sure that you get to down town sometime on Fridays and Saturdays and get your picture taken.

I just signed up at Yelp, which is a review site, and added a review. You can visit my Yelp Profile to see what one looks like, and what I’ve reviewed so far. I spend a lot of time at different shops and eateries on Mainstreet, so I’m going to try to provide reviews for many of those places.

It would be great to see others add some reviews.
