As someone who lives on this block - I'm not looking forward to this at all. Its a great quiet little area surrounding the park with lots of families and a relaxed non party vibe, I'd hate for that to be interrupted. And since there is already barely enough parking for residences the idea of any space taken up by production etc just gives me a headache. Also how would this help the housing market in Grove/Downtown? Its spendy as it is....Seriously disappointed in city administration, I like my neighborhood just the way it is, full of locals. Thanks anyway.

Who the hell knows where they are going to go. This makes no sense ... it seems as if the shows producers/location scouts didn't do their homework. Downtown JC is an artsy/restaurant and pub scene, not a screaming, crazy party. Again, this is a big "WTF?".

From what I've read, the show is supposed to be about the two girls getting a job. Who knows how much partying they are going to do in JC anyway. NYC is just a short PATH ride away.

The beer garden would be another candidate. This sounds like it was a no brainer for team Healy, seeing as he is already famous for his Jersey Shore antics, getting in a bar fights and such. God help us all.

Very true. Can't think of anywhere else those two would hang out. My guess is they spend zero time in JC, most time across the river.

It would be great if Jersey Shore showes people how close to Jersey City. I am always amazed when I meet people who say they have to live in NY eventhough they live on the outer edges of Queens or Brooklyn and pay more than Jersey City.

Jersey City joins an odd lot of host cities for this show. How often would you put Seaside Heights, Miami, Florence and JC in the same sentence?
Given that there aren't any clubs here, I wonder if the producers will fashion some kind pop-up club in a warehouse downtown. At the very least, they can put a disco ball in Healy's Tavern.

They never heard of Marco & Pepe before and didn?t know JC had nice little places like that. They saw it and thought it was an interesting place. They now want me to take them there. It was funny watching Healy talk about the show saying he is too old to party and hang out with them. All that went through my head was that incident years ago when he came stumbling out of his house after a night at the local bar half naked in a towel and someone took a picture. A classic? he would fit right in. Mayor Jerramiah ?the towel? Healy. Hey speaking of class did anyone watch last weeks episode (you know you all watch the show , how else would you know about their antics in such detail) when Snooki peed like a horse outside under the stairs of the shore house? Or when she peed her self in the bar? (Attention JC businesses get those mops and disinfectant ready) Come to think of it Farley to me is the only one who isn?t that messed up on the show. She actually tries to calm things down when they get out of hand. (and she ain't too hard on the eyes either)  It is going to go either way. It will either highlight JC?s good points. Or they are going to make a mockery of JC. Somehow I see the script writers having them go shopping up JS or in India Square and making a joke out of it. Also how much do you want to bet there will be at least one episode with them in Healy?s son?s tavern? Or them getting lost in da hood. Or saying JC is dead nothing to do or where are all the pumped up guys? (hey DTJC dudes there's still time to pump up) If the Newport Mall managing company was smart (Hudson Mall maybe?) they would try and get the script writers to have J and S work in a store in Newport. The foot traffic in the mall would increase by 100%. Even after they were gone people(?) would come to the mall to see where J and S worked. (you know creepy 07310 would camp out every day looking for an autograph or a peek of Jwoww) The below Star Ledger piece has pictures of the inside of the firehouse. Another plus because people will see how cool the inside of that place is and it may spark more interest in JC real estate.(it sort of already looks like an MTV real world pad) It is 38 Mercer St right? Any one know the owners? (I bet they are hiding out) Does anyone know how much MTV is renting it for? I bet the owners are getting a bundle of cash. http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index ... _jersey_city_spino_1.html Greatest thing that came out of this announcement so far?I never knew that Z100?s Scary Jones and Fox5 news guy John Huddy lived in good old JC. Maybe they lurk on jclist. (now where did I put my autograph book)

One of the few beauties of reality television is the whole season will be filmed in a few weeks at most. Maybe one of our wonderful local sandwich making establishments will make a Jersey Shore spin-off Sandwich. I suggest a Taylor ham and egg with a side of "thanks for all the negative press".

Not all press is good press and not all business is good business. There is a difference between being famous and being infamous.
It's a shame that those most affected by this - the residents of jersey city, have no say in whether they want the filming or not. There is one thing you can do - is to vote those who support this out. Mayor Healy doesn't get it and he never will...at least Fulop's comments make sense. To be honest, I rather have the gas pipeline than the jersey shore..at least with the gas pipeline, there is a chance it won't blow up and destroy jersey city. With the jersey shore - you have about a 0% chance of it being positive. If I see either of them in the street, I would give them a nice fck you jersey city welcome

It might be time to step back a little. To the the people who are super furious about this, I assume it's because you don't like the idea that the highest visibility your city is going to get is through the filter of a sleazy reality TV show.
But think about it, do you really care what either of the two following groups think about where you live: a) the people who are dedicated fans of 'Jersey Shore,' the show you can't stand b) the people who believe a sleazy reality TV show is going to provide an accurate depiction of the city it's in? Just roll with it. Walk the other way when you see the cameras coming and laugh at the ladies when the season finally airs.

I have no problem with them filming here. It would only be for a few weeks. It may be good exposure for Jersey City.
Funny, even 1010WINS was wondering if Healy would join the cast since he has experience fighting, getting arrested, and going naked on his front porch.

I agree. Why would we make them feel unwelcome almost guaranteeing a negative response to our city? Maybe this will have a positive impact and drive traffic to local stores and restaurants. Who knows, it may even attract businesses who wouldn't have otherwise thought of Jersey City.
This could go either way, but treating our guests poorly is a sure fire way to get negative publicity.

True, you know those sleazy stripper clubs which the NYC mayor got rid of? Let's bring them here!
Good for business! What happened to those Tonnelle Prostitutes? They were good for business too! Let's also have those legal pot shops in CA - good for business. What else is good for business that is depraved, dirty, and considered the dregs of society? Let's show them how "friendly" we are. There is a reason the Hoboken mayor denied them permits. It's because she knew the short term gain - boost in income in whatever restaurants they visit - will not outweigh the long term negative aspect of this... Just think to yourself - When you think of a clean family beach to go to, how many beaches pop into your mind before Seaside Heights? Yeah..I thought so. Use your brains for a second...

Like them or not, the temporary residence of these two girls will provide more of a benefit to the city than most of you could provide in a lifetime.

Lighten up, they're coming. I'm trying to find a positive spin on this situation. The reality is, it may have a negative effect on the city long-term, but none of us really know what's going to happen. It's all speculation at this point. I'm sure Seaside Heights is doing fine, Florence is doing fine, Miami is doing fine. These people don't ruin the towns they go to, but they do make you think about them. I had never heard of Seaside Heights before the show. Maybe I'm single and ready to mingle so I'm going to Seaside Heights. Works both ways.

Yeah did Florence, Italy really suffer , did Sea Side Heights really suffer? Jersey City will be fine. We had worse negative press over the years. (Ok wait if somehow Mayor Jerramiah T. ?the towel? Healy gets his singing on the show we could all be doomed.)
I think I am OK with having around 8 million people checking out JC week after week. And don?t forget it is only two of the ?morons? not the full eight. I can?t believe you are afraid of two little girls. What are you all going to do when the ?2014 Super Bowl Party? hits Liberty State Park. There are going to be tens of thousands of party people roaming JC and the surrounding towns. Hopefully spending some of that projected $500 million in JC. Interesting piece?. Jersey Shore' Season Premiere Draws Record 8.45 Million Viewers; 4.2 Adults 18-49 Rating Written By Bill Gorman January 7th, 2011 The season premiere of MTV's Jersey Shore on Thursday drew 8.45 million viewers, that's 38% above the viewership (6.1 million viewers) for the late October season finale and is MTV's most viewed series telecast ever. It drew a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating, up 35% from the 3.1 adults 18-49 rating for the late October finale. That crushed the 18-49 ratings for everything on broadcast at 10pm last night. So much for the meme that DVRs kill everything at 10pm. Here's the official press note with more information from MTV: MTV?S HIGHEST RATED SERIES TELECAST EVER! SEASON THREE OF?JERSEY SHORE? DELIVERS 8.45 MILLION TOTAL VIEWERS FOR PREMIERE ?JERSEY SHORE? SEASON THREE PREMIERE? Delivered 8.45 million total viewers. Averaged an 8.3 P12-34 rating and 6.5 million P12-34 viewers. MTV?s most watched series telecast ever. Delivered more P12-34 viewers than any broadcast or cable television show this broadcast season.* For P12-34, the ?Jersey Shore? premiere is +63% versus the Season Two premiere (8.3 vs. 5.1) and +36% versus the Season Two finale (8.3 vs. 6.1).

Great point. We're not even dealing with the entire bone-headed cast, it's just two of them, and they're the most popular. I didn't even know that Jersey City had a reputation that could be tarnished. Our city is not like Seaside Heights or even Hoboken for that matter. We don't have a big club scene or juiced up meat-heads walking around so why would this ruin our reputation? Won't they be interacting with people from the area? Hopefully, viewers will see what JC has to offer and will realize that not all "Jersey" is the same.

And what kind of reputation does Jersey City have that could destroyed? It has no real reputation. Even most New Jerseyans only know two things about Jersey City - that the mayor likes to drink and that a lot of the officials got arrested a few years ago. I don't see too many online petitions against that. If you have any kind of confidence or pride in this city, then you will know that it will hold its own on camera regardless of what the cast might do.
Besides, the show is supposed to be about them making it on their own as opposed to just drinking and tanning. If this means showing them attempting to cross Columbus without getting killed or dealing with Path delays or trying to get service with a smile at Taqueria, then we should empathize and not criticize.

Hey JC administration PR person..here?s an idea. Buy a 30 second commercial spot on MTV during the new show. Do it half way through the show so you have the 8 million viewer?s attention. (they usually settle down after the first 10 minutes of the show..you can only fist pump for so long you know..believe me)
Start off with an aerial view of JC to show people how close it is to NYC. Then zoom on down into JC and show some quick pieces on all of the good things about JC. The waterfront, light rail, Liberty State Park, Newport Mall?.ok and just make some shi* up. (like the realtors do) No ones going to know. And please don?t let Mayor Jeremiah T. ?the towel? Healy deliver the DVD to MTV studios. He will most likely try and sneak in his freaking Healy sings? Christmas DVD. Healy sings?. http://www.nj.com/hudson/voices/index ... _know_it_was_just_on.html
