I interrupt this literary blog for a special announcement:: THE SNACK SHACK is in danger! Those of us who live and/or work in Newark know that one of the few perks of riding the PATH train into Penn Station is The Snack Shack, a popcorn and nuts vendor right in the center of the vestibule. Also, The Snack Shack is one of the only black-owned carts in Newark Penn Station.

Today, when I swung by for my usual Monday Morning pick me up-- fresh popcorn, so tasty--I noticed a sign indicating that The Snack Shack is being forced out. I signed the petition- which contains about 800 names, but I wanted to sound the alarm here. The Snack Shack has only until Decemeber 3 to convince the property management company to change its mind.

If you love popcorn and/or believe in the American Dream, send an email to Portsmgmtnyc[at]verizon[dot]net.

Mayor Cory Booker, it sure would be nice for you to weigh in on this...
