Please don't pretend to understand the nature of painting more than me because you will end up embarrassing yourself.

Skilled painting and drawing actually has more to do with your wrist...not your hands.

Spray paint = No brushwork. No brushwork = no mark = no uniqueness.

Not sure of this, but is the AIDS crew affiliated with whomever was tagging "AIDS" all over personal property in JC for years?

If so, good to see the AIDS crew putting their energy to more constructive, positive initiatives.

I'm happy we didn't spend too many tax dollars on this marketing campaign. Looks like JC saved a lot of money by just taking a common idea.

One good thing did come out of this, a new term is being used in city government, "a brooke" as in the mayor threw a "brooke" today about this issue or that issue.

It's just another example of government failing where private enterprise and capitalism succeeds (I don't think Mana Contemporary got much city money, if any).

The first museum dedicated to street art and graffiti is set to open in Jersey City. Construction began on the 100,000 square-foot facility, a former ice factory, in June and public programming is expected to begin as early as next month. Operated by the Mana Contemporary, a 1 million square-foot cultural center in Jersey City, the Mana Museum of Urban Arts will be located at 581 Monmouth Street, near the Holland Tunnel.

Welcome to the Jersey City Skatepark Survey!
JERSEY CITY FIRST CONCRETE SKATEPARK IS COMING! GET STOKED!

After a community driven design meeting, Site Design Group, visionary, well known skatepark design firm (http://sitedesigngroup.com) has released two concepts for the new skatepark located at Berry Lane Park.

Berry Lane Park will transform more than 17 acres of property, including former rail yards, junk yards, auto repair shops, industrial facilities, and warehouse, into recreational space for Jersey City residents. The park, which is currently under construction, is located in the Communipaw-Lafayette Section of Jersey City, New Jersey. Construction of the park began in 2012. It is scheduled to open to the public in 2015. Check out here for more info: http://thejcra.org/blp

The Skatepark site is located by the defining historic silos. Overall, the skatepark design is limited by preexiting conditions, state wide risk policies, and budget. For the deeper features, such as bowls, has been determined by the existing conditions on site, including the depth of the clean soil cap installed during environmental remediation.

We, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, want your feedback. These skatepark designs are concepts, not final construction drawings. These concepts will be refined and revised, based in part on community feedback. We want to hear from you!

Plus, yuppies aren't chill either. Yuppies are a horribly neurotic bunch (and I say this as a quintessential yuppy). Chilltown is somewhere in Idaho or something like that.
