Beggar’s Canyon

A section of Route 21(McCarter Highway) in Newark, NJ, that stretches from the Clay Street bridge southward to the Interstate 78/Route 1&9 interchange. Where, if caught at a red light, you will most likely be asked to put some change in an old, used paper cup.

Named after the treacherous canyon on Tattoine where Luke Skywalker would bullseye womp rats in his T-16, Beggar’s Canyon in Newark is sometimes also treacherous to navigate.
“Better roll up your window Lou, we’re about to head into Beggar’s Canyon.”

“I used to love hanging out in the Ironbound section of Newark, but lately it’s become Beggar’s Canyon.”

Beggar's Canyon 

A deep and penetrating insertion of spandex into the buttocks, often seen during professional football games. Named after the desolate geographic formation referred to by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Guy 1: Dude did you see the Beggar's Canyon on Rocky Bernard at last night's game?

Guy 2: Yeah man you coulda fit two T-16 Skyhoppers and a squad of podracers through that thing.
