That's true... the spots for house in Newark has kinda been lacking lately, but I know in the summer the main branch of the library hosts weekly House Dance Parties outside. Military Park also has a community events with house playing all the time during the summer and you still have the Lincoln Park Music Festival.

I only point out the underground house parties, as that is how much of those clubs are now functioning especially once Jersey Club came on the scene. I do think the warehouses at the end of Raymond Blvd in the Ironbound could be converted to a nightlife district kinda like out in Brooklyn, etc. Im sure they will revive, but I totally get what you are saying. I just think those clubs come and go with the times, and right now Newark's house scene is very much dominated by Jersey Club and the more improvised house party scene that came out of it.
