    we have two bricks brick township and brick city lol brick city is referring to newark because there's so much crack there and large amounts of crack cocaine is called a brick (like a kilo) a lot of times you hear references to brick city because brick towship is alot of woods and nobody really cares about it too much it's in ocean county
