The Picklr closes after a year in The Grove at Newark
The Grove at Newark has lost one of its largest tenants. The Picklr abruptly closed its doors this week, just over a year after it opened. "The Picklr Newark community was hands down the best community ever. We wouldn’t have been as great if it weren’t for all the staff and all the members that have come and gone over the year+ we’ve been here. It’s been great," the business posted in a farewell message on social media. "It’s so sad and it stinks that we are now closed as a facility, but the memories and the community are still here to stay." The closure comes a month after the chain of indoor pickleball clubs filed for bankruptcy. Founder and CEO Jorge Barragan told Sports Business Journal that some of the company's financial issues trace back to its decision to be a guarantor for facility lease payments for approximately 40 of its franchisees. “We signed, unfortunately, too many corporate guarantees that landed on the holding company. And that’s on us. I own it,” Barragan told the publication. Last year, The Picklr had more than $10 million in revenue but reported a net loss of $4.4 million. When announcing the bankruptcy

Rainbow Records is first business to receive approval for live music under new law
Rainbow Records is the first business in Newark to be licensed as a live entertainment venue under a new law that overturned the city's de-facto ban on live music. The special-use permit, which city council approved unanimously on Monday, allows the business to continue holding small concerts inside the store featuring local bands. Owner Melissa Forsythe said she has hosted a handful of shows each year since moving Rainbow to its current location in Pomeroy Station off Main Street in 2019. "We didn't know we weren't supposed to be doing live music events there, so that is my bad," Forsythe told council members. When hosting a show, Rainbow moves its product display cases outside to make room for people to gather inside. The shows, which are capped at 49 people, start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. to avoid running afoul of nighttime noise restrictions. Rainbow does not serve food and strictly bans alcohol, meaning the shows are open to all ages. "It really can't be overstated how important it is right now to have safe spaces for young people to go so that they are not out causing trouble," Forsythe said. "I always have myself, somebody who's

The doctor is in: Newark architect lends a listening ear at farmers market
It’s a warm Sunday morning at the Newark Natural Foods farmers market, and nestled between a produce stall and a bakery stand in the parking lot of Newark Shopping Center, Willard Hurd is talking a young man through his girlfriend troubles. The sign above him reads “ARCHITECTURAL HELP, 25¢,” but it turns out people don’t always fully read the sign. Surprisingly, the college-aged man unloading his troubles isn’t an unusual case for Hurd. Since he set up his booth nearly 17 years ago, Hurd has spent most of his Sundays answering questions about solar panels and home additions, but Hurd said every once in a while someone, seeing open seats and a smiling face behind them, will come to him with more personal problems. Playing psychiatrist has just become an occasional part of the job. “I’ve had a dozen or so people who just needed someone to talk to, and I was there, so they sit down,” Hurd said. “I’ve got nothing else going on, not a line of people, so let’s do this.” Hurd, 59, an architect and chair of the Newark Planning Commission, said he started his booth at the farmer’s market in 2009. He had just been
