I have no idea why the producers and location scouts would pick JC, honestly. What is here for them? Any nightlife that is here is not their style, or even close to it. Maybe if the Sandbar was still around, but this gets a real "WTF" from me.

Why wouldn't they do a show across the river? Were the producers that desperate to keep the show "in Jersey"??

I really wish the show, and MTV, would just go away with this garbage.

Also, I thought it was impossible to lose even more faith in our leadership in JC, but it has occurred. Hoboken turned this down for a reason. Never thought I'd say this, but Hoboken is looking classier than JC. They at least have pride in their town, and they have leadership. Healy sounds like such an idiot with that quote, honestly.

I'm curious why this matters to you so much.

Primarily because I live here. I'm sure that there are things that bother you that I wouldn't bat an eyelid at.

Ok, you live here, but how will this affect your life here?

I much rather sign a petition to kick out all the hipsters or yuppie morons from the midwest.

Half of you have lived here for 8 seconds, and you already want to start telling other people they can't move to JC.

We have more F*n "Dog Runs" than hot girls?

I for one, welcome these girls and all the hot slutty friends they will bring with them.

Start hitting the gym, fellas. We have some business to take care of.

Look, the papers are signed. Money has (most likely) been exchanged, legitimately and not so much. This is going to happen. Why not treat it like the carnival sideshow it is and just enjoy the spectacle? Six weeks is not a long time, and any petition will just make us look like a bunch of whiners.

I, for one, would rather be associated with guidos than crybabies.

JaeTea on 2012/2/10 16:36:48 Seaside was called Sleaside YEARS before the Jersey Shore ever got there. People saying they "ruined" whatever reputation Seaside had clearly have never been there and are talking out their asses. If anything the people they brought down there and the money that was brought into the town definetly helped. But now you have so many people going to Sleaside the police are overwhelmed on weekends. Kinda like the random meathead fights in Hobroken. The people who think they will ruin the reputation of Jersey City are full of themselves. Whenever I tell people I live here they sigh and give me a look like they're sorry for me. The majority of people think Jersey City is all ghetto. I think anything that would show Jersey City in another light (ie you won't get mugged walking down the street) might be a benefit.

I never said seaside had a good reputation. I just said that the jersey shore has cemented their reputation forever as the place of sleaziness forever. They can't recover from it...If JC is made a mockery of which is highly likely, then I only hope JC can recover from it. I don't want JC to be known for the jersey shore...I rather have JC be unknown.

And to those asking whether I'm living in JC - yes - for more than 26 yrs. About to buy a condo in the area.

I don't believe I stated that it would affect my life. I don't believe that something has to explicitly affect your life for you to give a damn about it. But...it WILL affect my life, seeing that I live 2 short blocks away, in ways that have been listed here (congestion, noise, public safety, general annoyances that come along with a high profile filming).

But the biggest reason as to why it "matters to me so much", is that I have pride in where I live and I'd rather it's image not be tarnished further. It's pretty simple.

Oh please don't mention Golden Cicada. Was in there a few weeks ago and headed for the mens room which was totally unkept and disgusting. Touched the door knob to enter and two days later came down with a viral infection....Dr. confirmed it was probably from touching the mens room door knob or even being 10 feet from the urinal. Three days later I finally felt better. Talked to a couple of patrons and they told me he refuses to clean the bathroom ever ? What's up with that....too cheap. Please you need to provide a sanitary bathroom area for both men/women. After being sick and all I never frequented the place again - Jos. the Redhead

Jersey City clears 'Jersey Shore' spinoff

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) ? Jersey City taxpayers won't be footing the bill for police assigned to security for the women of "Jersey Shore" and all the attention that comes with them.

New Jersey's second largest city has issued a permit to producers to film a spinoff of the reality series, featuring Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley. Filming is expected to begin later this month in the city's Grove Street Path neighborhood.

Police spokesman Edgar Martinez said Thursday the production company in charge of the show will pay for off-duty police officers to provide security and will pay for any additional officers if they are needed. In addition, he said, the production crew won't be taking parking spots from residents but will use pay lots.

hahaha i love this. it makes every single poster here seem like an uninformed, mouth breathing outsider neanderthal. go ahead, try and defend your positions now, all you faux jersey city insiders / BnR people.

a lot of people have been using strawman arguments such as cost of security either on the star ledger comments section or on other sites.

by JerseyAveGirl on 2012/2/11 21:19:00 Either way it's publicity, isn't there a saying...all publicity is good publicity? This may bring mor businesses into the neighborhood. I also just learned the location of the girl's home, they got a house on Mercer, off Grove street. Something tells me pj Ryan's will get a good amount of air time.

True. Anthony Weiner has a great career now after he became active on twitter and got all that publicity.....

Those on this board who are okay with these two idiots coming here and the production making a mockery of JC really don't love JC at all and should probably gtfo of JC too.

JC doesn't have the best reputation but the jersey shore spinoff isn't going to help.

Yes - the short term benefit will be there but the long term benefit will not attract developers, businesses, and families. Those who think short term gain is worth long term loss is probably a supporter of concepts like extreme leveraging, mortgage backed securities, and short selling.
