This mural, of a photo album of Newark's past, is located at the east end of Primo Hoagies, 223 East Main  Street. For long time residents the photos serve as a reminder of bygone days. Newer members of the community are able to get a sense of Newark's history as well as the diversity of its population. Created as the result of  collaboration between the City of Newark and the Newark Arts Alliance, it was funded by the City.
