Look at the linked project.. a $750MM projected cost. ...

The approximately $70 million project will create over 500 construction jobs and 50 permanent jobs, not including individual production personnel.

Innovation and disruption are ideas that originated in the arena of business but which have since been applied to arenas whose values and goals are remote from the values and goals of business. People aren?t disk drives. Public schools, colleges and universities, churches, museums, and many hospitals, all of which have been subjected to disruptive innovation, have revenues and expenses and infrastructures, but they aren?t industries in the same way that manufacturers of hard-disk drives or truck engines or drygoods are industries. Journalism isn?t an industry in that sense, either.

Is that the building with KAWS' graffitti on it?

I recently announced that the Jersey City Economic Development Corporation (JCEDC) is soliciting proposals from individuals and firms interested in assisting the JCEDC on a branding and marketing campaign of up to $1.2 million dollars. The goal is to position Jersey City as the best mid-size city in America. Half of the $1.2 million will be paid for through private partnerships. In addition to the Request For Proposal (RFP), the JCEDC is also asking residents to submit logo designs and tag lines as part of the branding contest. This campaign will help us refocus the image of Jersey City to the rest of the region, the nation and the world, expanding on how we are growing, providing opportunities for new young families and long-time residents. This campaign will highlight the diversity of our neighborhoods and underscore the attractions of our great city, showcasing everything that Jersey City has to offer. The complete RFP can be found at http://www.jcedc.org.

This spring, Mana plans to open a street-art museum in another three-building property near the Holland Tunnel. It will have ?the same curatorial vision and management? as the main art centre, which is headed by the artist and chief executive Eugene Lemay, says Mana?s vice president for strategy, Shai Baitel. The painter and graffiti artist Barry McGee is among those in talks to take part in the museum?s inaugural show.

It's true that there is nothing (yet) to prove that Christie knew about this. However, common sense tell us that his aides and political advisors would not be acting so recklessly without his approval or a strong basis to believe he approved based on prior behavior.

. de Blasio?s postelection debut at the White House signaled that he may emerge as a leading national voice on the issues that animated his campaign. While a clutch of mayors gathered to meet with reporters after the meeting, it was Mr. de Blasio who spoke first, and most, as the others deferred to him.

He spoke of a movement beyond New York?s border that he hoped to tap. ?It?s clear something is happening around the country that the inequalities we?re facing are becoming just fundamentally unacceptable,? he said.

St. Peters Cemetary is right across fom me in the Heights Western Slope. Actually its on the right on 1/9 North (Tonnelle Ave) 200 feet before the ramp to the Skyway... My son and I go there occasionally and do a quick clean up...... I have never seen visitors there. Its a quaint site and very old.

I also noticed the neighborhood has had a name change from Bergen Lafayette to Berry Lane. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't know anything about the building, but as far as I know, the neighborhood's still Bergen Lafayette. Berry Lane is the name of the (now on hiatus) park that's being built there right off of, you guessed it, Berry Lane.

There are signs throughout the area that says "welcome to the Berry Lane neighborhood"
