That would be a shame, and a surprise. I haven't been there in a while, but the last time I stopped in, they were busy. I have always liked that place. Good bar food, and (usually) really good draft beer selection. I haven't visited the JSQ location (way too far for me) but I have heard it is actually really good.

I heard that the downtown PJ Ryan's is closing but the JSQ one is staying and potentially a new one opening somewhere else on the west side of city.

i agree 150% that a museum in journal square is not the brightest idea. i think along the waterfront or near liberty science center makes more sense as it might be able to leverage off the foot traffic downtown/tourist, the mall or liberty science centerQuote:

Also, new spot Korai Kitchen on summit is excellent. Bangladeshi buffet, opened this past weekend.

Because the city record with museums and community centers is so great??? The previous expensively renovated museum on Montgomery was absurdly underutilized, there was a sweet little theater in there that was never used. And the school on 9th is supposed to be a community center too. Anybody ever go there? When HPNA wanted to meet there they made it such a PITA we stopped trying. I recall the gym was leased to St Anthonys to help pay the absurd cost of the building, what's doing there now? So here we go again!

Jersey City council OKs $10M deal for new museum Updated 4:51 PM; Posted 4:17 PM (1/23/2018) By Terrence T. McDonald tmcdonald@jjournal.com The Jersey Journal JERSEY CITY -- A plan to turn a county building into a city-run museum and community center advanced last night when the City Council approved a deal to borrow $10 million to buy the building and hire a consultant to help create it. The council voted 7-2 to approve the measure, a subsidy agreement between the city and the autonomous Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, which is overseeing the museum project. The deal puts the city on the hook for the $10 million the JCRA is bonding for the museum. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... m.html#incart_river_index

Eh, i get it. Have you ever actually tried to eat in JSQ? Besides a few good Indian joints on Newark, there really isnt much thats good OR interesting. It has nothing to do with ethnic. Its honestly just nothing you would want to venture out for with a date, or friends. But to answer the previous question, yes I do think some good options will start to trickle in soon

Does anyone know what % of the first Journal Square tower is rented out?
I wonder when some interesting retail & restaurants will come to the blocks right around JSQ. The cynical side of me says "never" and the block from the PATH station to Tonnelle will always be exactly as it is now. The glass half full version of me says "be patient, it will happen."

![]() . Giant clock planned for new Journal Square tower Updated 5:01 PM; Posted Today 5:01 PM By Terrence T. McDonald The Jersey Journal Jersey City may get its own version of Big Ben. The developers behind the three-tower Journal Squared project won approval from the city Planning Board recently to add a giant digital clock to the next tower slated for construction. Unlike London's iconic Big Ben, which sits atop a 315-foot tower, the Journal Squared timepiece will be much closer to the ground. A rendering of the building shows the clock near the ground floor of the 759-foot building. It will face south, toward the plaza that leads into the Journal Square PATH hub. Crews broke ground on the second Journal Squared tower earlier this year. The 72-story high-rise is expected to be completed in 2020. It is the tallest of the nine high-rises planned for Journal Square. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... er.html#incart_river_home .

Kushners resurrect plans for Journal Square towers Updated on September 25, 2017 at 5:28 PM Posted on September 25, 2017 at 2:28 PM By Terrence T. McDonald The Jersey Journal JERSEY CITY -- One Journal Square, the controversial residential and office towers proposed by the family of presidential son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, is being resurrected, with revised plans for the beleaguered project scheduled to go before the Planning Board tomorrow. The future of the two-tower project appeared in jeopardy earlier this year when Mayor Steve Fulop announced the developers -- Kushner Cos. and KABR Group -- would not receive a package of city subsidies they requested. A major investor and planned tenant also pulled out of the deal, and a critical state tax break fell through. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... y.html#incart_2box_hudson

My mother did not drive either but the doctor was walking distance, that is not the case anymore. I have kept the same doctor and dentist for a long time, yet both moved. The doctor moved when St. Francis was changed into housing and the dentist moved when his business was burgalzied. Both are not walking distance.

There will be a time in most people's lives when owning a car is the practical answer. It basically starts when you have kids. It is difficult to put an infant on the back of a bike to take your newborn to the doctor's office.

I wonder if underground parking is prohibitively expensive, or if developers just want the cheapest option.

Again, parking in a crowded city is a luxury, not a right. If you want the convenience of a parking spot in a city, you'll need to pay for it. This is nothing more than paying for a service.

Can't be realistically done as undergound garages are prohibitively expensive $$$. There are also water table and flooding issues. Hiding the garages middle block can only be done on very big sites. Quote:

It's exactly the type of building we should be building in Journal Square. If I were term, I'd open up a contact with one of the nearby lots and say parking will be provided to residents at the going rate of the lot. There you have it, parking for any new resident that wants it. With zone parking, there would be no issuance of a permit for the new residents since parking would be available.
