Soooooo is this your first time in a city?


Oh, that explains it. I guess people in the suburbs throw their bottles into their backyards where no one can see them? Or is it your opinion that we just have more scumbags in the city?


Yep.

Yeah nobody liked good old JC. I on the other hand was always a proponent of JC even in her darkest days. (JC love it or leave it! Sadly most of my close friends did..leave it) But I will confess this sin to you all. Living in JC in the late 70?s early 80?s was not cool to some especially the chicks. Do you know what it was like to finally get a nibble in the summertime down at the Guido infested Jersey Shore only to lose the precious catch? When I opened my mouth and said I was from Jersey City in my best JC accent I lost the catch hook, line, and sinker. Devastating! (you burb girls err I mean your mother?s were cruel back then)

When I changed my address to Chatham or Basking Ridge I was fine. (thank God it wasn?t my looks after all!!) Although do you know how hard it is to try and cover up a JC guy saying beer? I almost got busted a few times. ? I?ll have two beeeeeeer?s please?. I never asked for a second date for a Saturday it always had to be on a Sunday I was too afraid my Satday would slip out. ?Hey how about we go out again on Satday night? ..ahhhhhh.


Hah! been down that road. People used to look at me like I was insane then get that "I just ate to many hotdogs looking face" when I said JC. I also used the "fib" that I was from some ritzy suburb myself, it works great till they wanna come over.

Oh and about the Newport City, New York crack. In the 80?s it was called Newport City, New Jersey. It was also advertised as Newport City, New York in some ads. There was NO mention of Jersey City in any advertisements. They even took us out of the directions. They said get off the Turnpike at exit 14C. I think Manzo was a thorn in LeFrak?s side he made them take out the City in Newport City. Made them start saying Newport section of Jersey City. Made them put exit 14C Jersey City in the directions, and Jersey City on the Path stops, etc. Manzo stopped the whole project a few times saying that LeFrak was covering up the contaminated soil or dumping it in the river. I think LeFrak was talking about backing out at one point.

?"I had to convince people we were part of Manhattan and we had to eradicate the Hudson River," LeFrak laughed about his Newport marketing efforts, which have been rewarded all over the site.??


Any old-timers remember any of this? I think I have the old advertisements locked away somewhere..funny. I think Port Liberty did the same thing those ads were even funnier. They boasted that Julio Iglesias was buying there so you should to. (I was tempted indeed!)


Why doesn't this surprise me.

It should be said that this thread title and many of the comments suggest that Jersey City only has one waterfront.

I think there are great possibilities for beautiful spaces on the Hackensack River/Newark Bay waterfront as well.


But honestly, let's face it....what is attractive about the Hackensack River? And the view of the gray water, industrial bridges, and the factories across the way, in Newark/Kearny?


I actually love that part of New Jersey. those bridges and smokestacks and derelict warehouses have a kind of haunting beauty about them. the right architect could make a really gorgeous park using that backdrop.


I agree. To me that symbolizes JC and Newark. to each his own though

Putting it on classic white bread is the best way to eat it in my opinion. A little messy but delicious.

Why would you care if you don't live downtown?


I'm still from JC and downtown still qualifies as JC, therefore it makes me unhappy to see what it is turning in to.

I have written my first review as I search for the best slice in Jersey City. Check out the blog and let me know if you've had similar experiences or think I'm just damn wrong. I've suddenly began to have some weird unrealistic fear of pizza owners banning me from their establishments. Only one way to find out. My team of pizza lovers will hit the 2nd shop on Wednesday, so do check back often. Cheers for reading.

I don't think anyone from JC actually thinks they're better than anyone else, I know I don't . We simply don't like being lumped in with NYC since some "pioneer" discovered JC and made it "cool" since its sooooo close to lower Manhattan. We also don't like having yuppie snobs from the burbs and pretentious Manhattan folk taking over. Say I'm whining all you want, its my opinion and many others share the same.


If you don't fit the mold of the people I speak of why are you mad? It has nothing to do with "I was hear first" it has to do with the type of people moving in. I mean we're seriously having discussions about getting a Whole Foods here?!?! And multi million dollar condos!?!? I'll wait patiently for someone to chime in and tell me I'm mad because I cant afford it.

Agreed, a dog makes you less of a target for sure. And we dog owners are out walking our dogs 24/7/365. Which is why there should be more props and respect for dog owners in general. Dog owners are the Neighborhood Crime Watch, like it or not.


Most people Downtown walk small harmless dogs. Im sorry but if Im a robber and I see you walking a pug im gonna pet it then rob you. Now if you go to other place in JC they have pitbulls, in that case your safe.

Lets just hope it that never happens. If people want Hoboken I don't understand why they don't just move there. Stop trying to change JC , you already have most of downtown leave the rest alone for crying out loud.

Then again the light rail horn sounds nothing like a whistle.... so I guess I'm not sure either.

It's probably the light rail. I know sometimes they blow the horn when pulling into stations. Although that's usually more at night when kids are messing around on the tracks.

My post way back a few pages ago was not intended to be a stab at you personally. I just feel like whenever I see a post similar to this one I think of the person on the other end of the comp as somebody that belongs on American Gentrifier, and I get slightly aggravated. Thats my explanation, I dcant speak for the rest of the crowd though.
