It is actually the producers of "Jersey Shore", it would only be Snooki & JWoww, their spin off show, moving to either Jersey City or Hoboken. Those are the top two places on their list. It will definitely be filmed at a place downtown if JC is chosen.

It's so silly how they are trying to keep this spinoff within the borders of NJ, just to able to still say that these girls are "Jersey tough" or something ridiculous like that. These girls have nothing to do with anything in Hudson County, why the hell bring that nonsense here? Send them to Syracuse or Albany if they want a different locale. They are suburban NYers ... I wish they would tear down their own state's reputation.

I heard from a little bird that MTv just signed a lease on a property on 4th Street!!!




4th and Bloomfield, that is.

Thank God, that was close!

Snooki and JWoww say Hoboken Mayor Zimmer's denial of filming permit will cost her city an economic windfall

The morning after learning Hoboken has denied a filming permit for their ?Jersey Shore? spin-off, cast members Nicole ?Snooki? Polizzi and Jenni ?JWoww? Farley took to the airwaves to share their reactions to the news.

The pair appeared on the ?The Big Show with Scott & Todd? yesterday morning on 95.5 WPLJ and told listeners their new show will be different from ?Jersey Shore,? the reality show that spawned their ?stardom.?

The pair was shown a picture of Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer and were asked if they recognized her. After giving confused looks to each other, Polizzi and Farley were told it was Zimmer and they shared a laugh.

?Not everyone is going to like us. At the end of the day it?s her loss. I love Hoboken. No hate. Maybe she (Zimmer) just doesn?t like our tans, I don?t know,? said Polizzi.

Farley added that any spin-off show could mean an economic boom for the municipality willing to host it.

?We?re just trying to help the economy in Jersey and we?re trying to bring profit to it. What?s wrong with that?? asked Farley.

Farley and Polizzi added that they were unaware that the untitled show?s producers were even considering Hoboken as a filming location.

?We didn?t even know about Hoboken. We?re hearing the reports just like you guys,? Farley said. ?If we were given the opportunity in a city in Jersey, I would want someone to come in to bring profit, to bring recognition to my city,? she added.

Last month, The Jersey Journal reported that MTV officials were scouting locations in Hoboken and Jersey City as home base for the women during filming.

While the Hoboken filming permit was denied, officials in Jersey City said this week the production company has shown interest in filming there, but has not yet submitted a completed application.

?The city of Jersey City has been in discussions with the producers of the planned Jersey Shore spin-off, but we are still awaiting a completed film permit application,? said Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill.

MTV Networks and 495 Productions could not be reached for comment.

MYFOX NEW YORK STAFF REPORT

MYFOXNY.COM EXCLUSIVE - Hoboken's loss is Jersey City's gain -- at least from the point of view of fans of "The Jersey Shore."

The producers of a spin-off of the MTV hit starring Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley obtained filming permits from Jersey City officials and signed deals with local bar and restaurant owners, Fox 5's John Huddy reported.

Recently, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer rejected a request by the production company, 495 Productions, to shoot the show in her city, citing a need to protect "public safety and quality of life concerns for Hoboken residents."

She also warned 495 Productions and MTV that Hoboken would not tolerate unauthorized shooting.

A Fox News camera crew was posted outside City Hall around 5:00PM this evening. I thought they were here to cover a City Council meeting, but no, they are here to get JC residents' reactions to the announcement that Jersey Shore will be filming its next season here in JC, using the fire house on Mercer St (next to Marco&Pepe) as their home base.

Hoboken said "no" apparently, but, of course, our City government is approving permits for the shooting to happen, supposedly starting next week (according to Fox news person).

Ugh.

It'll be fun to watch JC on tv.

While on the Fruit store a few weeks back on Grove I overheard someone asking around for film permits. Wasn't sure if it was for the fruit store or for a nearby location--either way, sounds like the two are related.


Twitter feeds are saying the apartment is in the old firehouse on Mercer, behind Marco & Pepe.

Same twitter feed said Marco & Pepe and The Merchant are not allowing filming. Wouldn't this show be attracted to the water and the skyline, so Boca Grande, Azucar, Michael Anthonys, would seem logical.

oh, for the love of chlamydia...

It's happening... Apparently MTV film crews were scouting at K9dergarten yesterday.

You gotta be f**king kidding me

Why cant they film in the shitholes they live in? Why is this city attracting assholes ? If its not yuppies its orange guidos, go away!

'Jersey' City? Uh, 'Shore.' MTV show spinoff can shoot there after Hoboken rebuff

Hoboken had feared the show would be bad for city's reputation

Hoboken?s loss is Jersey City?s gain.

After being denied by Hoboken, MTV has gotten permission to shoot a ?Jersey Shore? spin-off in nearby Jersey City.

?My view is the more people that see anything about Jersey City and see what we have in Jersey, the better it is for Jersey City,? Mayor Jerramiah Healy told WNYW/Ch. 5?s John Huddy, who broke the story.

Show producer 495 Productions has gotten a permit to shoot for six weeks in a home near the corner of Grove and Mercer Sts., according to the Ch. 5 report. Production will begin this month.

The two-story building is described as an old firehouse.

Word of the permit being granted in Jersey City comes a week after leaders in Hoboken nixed the idea, saying it would be bad for the city?s reputation.

Now in its fifth season, ?Jersey Shore? follows a group of twentysomethings living and playing in Seaside Heights, N.J.

The show has generated huge ratings, and just as much negative attention for heaving boozing, hot tub shennanigans, and an occassional fist fight.

Given the popularity MTV has ordered two spin-offs, one of them starring cast members Jennifer (JWoww) Farley and Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi.

MTV has given few details about the concept. However, Ch. 5 reported the idea was always to have them live in Jersey City and party in Hoboken. Now, the show will focus on Jersey City.

City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill confirmed the permit was granted after a full review by all agencies, including the police.

The city is, however, making it clear Snooki and JWoww need to be good neighbors.

?Like all other films, there will be a requirement for hired police services paid for by the film company to reduce any impact on the public,? Morrill said.

?Additionally, the cast and crew of the Jersey Shore spinoff, like everyone else, will be required to follow all the laws of the State of New Jersey and the City of Jersey City, and to show respect for their neighbors.?

This could really help the local shops and housing market.

On another note, someone should open a tee shirt shop straight away.

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.

The article states:"Like all other films, there will be a requirement for hired police services paid for by the film company to reduce any impact on the public,? Morrill said.

The Jersey City Police Department is already undermanned and has trouble enforcing laws consistently. This filming will have an impact on the public by taking some cops away from their duties. This is going to be a bad distraction for the police.

yeesh. I can't wait for the late night drunken path rides

As if the parking wasn't bad enough already.

Mindless idiots!!!

Off duty cops will be hired, this won't be a distraction for on-duty cops.

And I say this is a good thing. It will attract business to JC, and make us feel like more of a destination.

The real irony is that this show concept is perfect for Hoboken - yet they turned the show down.

This show is not a fit at all for JC, it's a real head scratcher - and yet our buffoon leaders happily accept the money, err, "recognition".

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy says he believes the show is an opportunity to promote the city.

More evidence (as if there has not been enough already) that Mr. Healy is clueless, idealess, and has no inkling of what he is doing as mayor. I am certain he has not even watched more than 3 minutes of 'Jersey Shore'. If he did, he would not believe a sorry ass show like this would be an opportunity to promote Jersey City, except in a negative light. Good on Ya Healy.

Parts of The Sopranos was filmed in JC, you could have said the same thing about that show. Whenever I go though the covered roadway from the Holland tunnel I'm always reminded of the opening sequence to The Sopranos.

This is going to enrich the off duty JC police who are assigned to this show.

I live around the block from Mercer/Grove corner and was moving my car this morning (for street sweeping). They have already begun to renovate/move things into out of the old firehouse by Marco and Pepe. They have put No Parking signs for about a half block radius in front of the house. News 12 and other news networks were there reporting already.

The opening sequence to the Sopranos (please lets not even categorize real actors with these poofs) is shot from the LINCOLN Tunnel.

Are we that low that we really care about JC being on 'tv' etc..etc..to build some kind of self esteem about where we live.."hey, i live in JC, that is where snooki and jwow show is filmed"...*listening to the oooozzzz and ahhhhhhhhhzzz

Now this is gonna be fun.

Oh GREAT. I LIVE on this block.

Where the heck are Snooki and J Woww going to go in Jersey City?

The owners of Powerhouse are probably celebrating their great victory.

I don't watch the show. Personally, I think it's awful and I hate the "Jersey" connection. However, I don't really think it's that horrible they are filming here. JC is a pretty big city and downtown is pretty big too so I'm sure the city can make room for filming.

I can see why Hoboken said no, they are a tiny town with barely any parking and very residential. They already have a ton of people at the bars etc, this would make things even more crazy. JC just doesn't have the nightlife that Hoboken has, so I can't imagine it would be any where as bad as it would be if they filmed in in Hoboken.

Everyone outside of the JC/Hoboken area thinks that JC is a crime riddled ghetto. So maybe the new show will show that you wont get shot by a gang member if you hang out in downtown.
