Don't be sorry. I love my job. I just happen to know that no one from the college would be wandering around Wayne and Baldwin. There are absolutely no campus buildings East of Bergen, despite what the map might indicate. Also SPC is not a neighborhood, so I don't know why you would describe it as so. If a crime happened in Paulus Hook would you say "Saint Peter's Prep Area"? McGinley Square would be the most accurate neighborhood, I suppose. OR . . . you could just leave the headline as is, instead of re-writing it. The professional journalists actually do a fine job.

Sorry if you work for the college or something - but it doesn't change where this happened -- this is not the Island area -- so what would you call it?

I wouldn't consider Baldwin Ave. SPC area. It may look close on a map, but I doubt many students or staff ever walk down Baldwin (which can be a bit desolate at night) or even east of Bergen. There's just not much to lure one to that area, and it's not on the way to the square.
This poster just loves to editorialize the Jersey Journal story titles, often inaccurately, to indict particular neighborhoods or communities. The stories already have titles, but he likes to spice them up and sometimes pepper them with few inaccuracies. It's a really bizarre hobby, but hey . . .

Just can't stay away

And technically, they weren't really stolen at gunpoint. He tried to drive off with the phones, and only pulled the gun when the victim tried to stop him.
... just sayin.

St Peters College is 6 blocks from Baldwin. St Peter's College isn't an "area" You downtowners need to stop making it up as you go along.

I'm sorry, but I don't think there are many people who consider the corner of Wayne and Baldwin "Downtown". I know what the traditional borders were, but in 2010 I don't think many people consider anything west of 78 to be downtown.

Not too shy to talk

that's just dumb on the part of the seller. i've bought and sold a lot of stuff using craigslist and I always deal with someone when it's still daylight and where there's a lot of people.

Nice try pushing your DTJC crime onto other parts of the city. That happened no where near SPC. Wayne and Baldwin is closer to Downtown in fact it has the downtown zip code of 07302. Maybe you can say it was a few blocks away from the SPC parking lot at McKinley Square but that is pushing it.
Know the zone!!

View Larger Map Two iPhones snatched at gunpoint on Jersey City street, where seller agreed to meet "buyer" who answered ad on Internet Friday, October 15, 2010 By MARK MAURER JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A 23-year-old man from Winchendon, Mass., was robbed at gunpoint of two iPhones on Wednesday, according to Jersey City police reports. The victim told police he posted an ad on Craigslist to sell an iPhone 4 and arranged to meet a buyer on Wayne Street near Baldwin Avenue at around 9 p.m., reports said. When the two met, the supposed buyer - who identified himself as "Bob" - got out of a Mercedes Benz and the victim greeted him and showed him the $700 iPhone, reports said. "Bob" pointed out that the charger for the phone was missing and the victim walked to his car to retrieve a charger from another iPhone, reports said. The robber then asked to see both iPhones and when the victim handed them over, "Bob" took the phones and got back into his Mercedes to drive away, reports said. The victim held "Bob" by the neck to try and stop him from taking off, but when "Bob" pointed a handgun at the victim, the victim backed off, reports said. The victim gave the police the man's license plate number, which matched the Mercedes Benz registered to an East Orange man, reports said. The investigation is ongoing, police said.
