You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:2018-07-16 18 59 17 View west along Essex County Route 510 (Springfield Avenue) at Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.jpg|thumb|Namesake Springfield Avenue]]
'''Springfield/Belmont''' is a neighborhood in the city of [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] in [[Essex County, New Jersey|Essex County]], in the [[U.S. state]] of [[New Jersey]]. Part of the Central Ward, it is unofficially bounded by South Orange Avenue in the north, Avon Avenue in the south, Martin Luther King Boulevard and University Avenue on the east, and Bergen Street in the west.

At one point, this was the "[[shtetl]]" of Eastern [[Europe]]an [[Jew]]s. The Jews of Newark were distinct from the Jews of [[New York City]] in that most worked as peddlers, grocers, tailors, mechanics, technicians, artisans, jewelers, and repairmen, as opposed to factory workers. Gradually, the Jews of Newark grew in affluence, and many moved south to [[Weequahic]] and Hillside, though lower middle-class Jews were to be found in the neighborhood as late as the 1950s. From the 1940s on, many [[African American]]s from [[Virginia]] and [[the Carolinas]] moved here during the [[Great Migration (African-American)]], attracted by the [[World War II]] boom for such local corporations as [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation|Westinghouse]]. By the 1967 Newark civil unrest, this was a slum, with a high concentration of housing projects in the section east of Bergen Street.

Springfield/Belmont's projects were demolished in the 1990s and replaced by small scale public and private housing.  Springfield/Belmont is close to 100% African American, and one of Newark's neighborhoods most drastically affected by [[white flight]].

Springfield/Belmont contains many historic buildings along Martin Luther King Boulevard, formerly known as High Street.  Describing the street from north to south, a visitor would see the [[Art-Deco]] extravagance of Arts High School, classically inspired St. Agnes Greek church, the magnificent [[Victorian architecture]] of the [[Krueger Mansion|Krueger-Scott Mansion]], the Beaux-Arts [[Christian W. Feigenspan|Feigenspan]] Mansion, a Neo-Classical former [[synagogue]], and finally the [[Moorish Revival]] [[Prince Street Synagogue]].  Built for a German brewer, the Krueger-Scott mansion was the most expensive home ever built in Newark.  Plans are afoot to turn it into an American cultural center.

The 1884 [[Prince Street Synagogue]], former home of Congregation Oheb Shalom, later Metropolitan Baptist Church, at 32 Prince Street, has been restored and converted to a nature center for Newark by the [[Greater Newark Conservancy]]. The yard of the old synagogue has been turned into a beautiful community garden. It also features a pond with fish, frogs, turtles, and salamanders in it.

The most severe destruction from the Newark civil unrest occurred on Bergen Street between Clinton Avenue and Springfield Avenue. Since the millennium, new construction of Society Hill and the Springfield Marketplace have replaced many abandoned lots.<ref>((Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/realestate/in-newark-a-new-chapter-unfolding.html | title=In Newark, a New Chapter Unfolding | newspaper=The New York Times | date=19 August 2016 | last1=Kaysen | first1=Ronda ))</ref> A [[Food desert]] is a neighborhood where there is a shortage of places to buy food.<ref>((cite news   | last = Staff   | title = Stranded in 'food deserts,' hundreds of thousands of N.J. residents lack access to healthy, fresh food   | publisher = The Star-Ledger Staff    | date = August 8, 2011   | url = http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/stranded_in_food_deserts_hundr.html   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref> Despite the closure of a new supermarket one year after its opening,<ref>((cite news   | last = Carter   | first = Barry   | title = Quick checkout: Touted Newark supermarket closes after only 1 year   | publisher = The Star-Ledger   | date = February 10, 2014   | url = http://blog.nj.com/njv_barry_carter/2014/02/newark_supermarket_closes_afte.html#incart_m-rpt-1   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref> several have opened or are planned to open in the city.<ref>((cite news   | title = Newark to open first supermarket in decades   | agency = Associated Press    | date = February 27, 2012   | url = http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/newark_to_open_first_supermark.html   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref><ref>((cite news   | last = Sciarrino   | first = Robert   | title = Booker and Christie bond over groundbreaking of Newark ShopRite   | publisher = The Star-Ledger   | date = October 17, 2013   | url = http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2013/10/booker_and_christie_bond_over_groundbreaking_of_newark_shop-rite.html   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref><ref>((cite news   | last = Webster   | first = Elnardo   | title = Newark growing from food desert to oasis: Opinion   | publisher = The Star-Ledger   | date = December 13, 2013   | url = http://blog.nj.com/njv_guest_blog/2013/12/newark_growing_from_food_deser.html   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref><ref>((cite news   | last = Giambusso   | first = David   | title = Newark mayor's race: Baraka, Jeffries hold dueling events at city supermarkets   | publisher = The Star-Ledger   | date = February 6, 2014   | url = http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2014/02/newark_mayors_race_baraka_jeffries_hold_dueling_events_at_city_supermarkets.html   | accessdate = 2014-02-10))</ref>

The [[Newark Public Library|Springfield branch]] of the Newark Public Library is located in the Springfield/Belmont neighborhood.
