I decided to stop at Grillmaster BBQ and Cafe, #41, for some food. It's a barbeque place that's actually very clean, and carries a nice dessert selection. The people behind the counter kindly make me a grilled cheese sandwich, even though they've stopped making breakfast (because apparently, grilled cheese sandwiches are breakfast food). For $3.25, it get the sandwich and a diet Pepsi.
I really love New Jersey diners, so I think this White Circle System diner, #176, looks like something I should check out someday.
There's actually an elk popping out of the awning of the Bloomfield-Newark Elks lodge's awning. I don't think I've ever seen an elks lodge - do they all look this strange? While I'm taking this picture, a cute guy stops me and asks if I'm foreign, otherwise why would I be taking pictures of random stuff on Bloomfield Ave.?
This is the logo on the Sherwin Williams paint store, #324. Does this scare anyone else? That paint looks like blood, like Sherwin Williams is trying to create an apocalypse. Really, it could be a Klan logo or something.
Danny Stylig Cuts, #382, looks like a normal hair salon, but looks again - it also plays host to Mike's Game X-change. There's a counter in the back, next to all the barber stools, that holds hundreds of games. This is a combination I've never seen before, video games and hair.
The Garden State parkway (much superior to the New Jersey Turnpike) goes over Bloomfield Ave. Right next to the Parkway is Watsessing Park. Here you can see Jamaican immigrants playing cricket on Saturday mornings, and Geena Davis used to practice her archery here.
I had always driven past Good Guys department store, at 575, and wanted to go in, and now here was my chance. It's a dirt cheap and slightly dirty place, kind of like the Conway stores in New York City, but defintiely worth a look. I got a pair of twill pant for $12 and a pair of tights for $1.75. I could have also picked of James Brown's "Funky Goodtimes" on CD for $2.98, but decided to pass.
Another nice diner to check out is the State Street Grill. It used to be called Willie's, and it was all chrome on the outside. Now it looks like it's rocking some kind of modern Spanish design. Across the street, Cambridge Bagel Factory, #648, sells the best bagels I've ever had.
