For Sale Look what I just got.... (interesting drop)

[NamePopper.com]

This just dropped - and I caught it.

NewarkNJ.org

This was the official site for the 3rd oldest city in the United States > Newark, New Jersey - and of course it's also the largest city in the state of New Jersey.

There are 132 link references to the site on Google alone......

Everything from the water & fire department - to the mayor - and transportation.

This is an interesting catch. The questions is what do I do with it? Heh!

Hey Pop! I'm about 90 minutes from Newark...very rough town, not a lot of positives happening. Maybe you can create a "positive" site about Newark and have some up and coming businesses advertise on the site.

I can't imagine why the city would have let their official domain/site drop.

Must have been a mistake?

I just checked the Archive - and there is a ton of stuff. Goes back to 98.

It's a poor city...maybe they had it with Verisign and they could not afford the reg fees

Yes, they have always dropped

Nice catch! I wonder if they opted for the .us names that were reserved for cities. You could offer local web services (hosting/design/domains) and a community directory. It might be hard to meet your clients though.

I registered yesterday namezero.org, other tld-s are reserved for namezero corp. I don`t know how they let this one drop? Maybe someone has some days old whois for it?

Nice name Pops. Place names with the .org extension work very well I think. You could make a directory of hotels, restaurants etc.. and charge a small monthly listing fee. Good luck with it.
