I don't blame you for being unfamiliar with Italian Village because I really don't think people refer to the neighborhood by that name anymore. It's not new however. It's actually a historic term these days more than anything. The historical society runs a tour each year of this neighborhood. It runs from Columbus north and from Coles west, and it was referred to as "Italian Village" when the area was predominantly populated by Italian immigrants. I took the tour a few years ago. It includes Holy Rosary, the first Italian parish in New Jersey, Pecaro's bakery, the old sausage factory (now a 7 million dollar home), and the Italian-American museum on Monmouth. They describe Brunswick as being like the Mulberry Street of Jersey City back in its day. I got the impression that "Italian Village" was just a term used instead of "Little Italy" as in Newark or New York.
I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years now, but people seem to have shifted over to calling it Hamilton Park in the north end -- adding these western blocks to the historic neighborhood. That makes sense because it is such a small area. I'm not sure about what you'd call the area south of Newark.

A friend of mine is working on a documentary with a film student from Temple. They have gone all over the state asking this question -- Where does North Jersey end and South Jersey begin?
Here's a link to their site... Where is Northern and Southern Jersey? Where would you draw the line?

I.M. Pei designed the J&J headquarters in New Brunswick. It also incorporates some green into the design, which wasn't there before Pei started.

How about using the motto that's on the city seal -- "Let Jersey Prosper."
You could use the statue of liberty or the lincoln statue in lincoln park or the colgate clock for the image. It would be great if you could use Donald Trump's picture. I love the motto. It reminds me of Star Trek.
