Near Pavonia Avenue
[UPDATE: Oct. 15, 2008]
After a quick research, I learned that the renovation was due to the “chunk of decorative facade” that fell from the building which is the “home to a string of stores at Journal Square in Jersey City Saturday afternoon…”
You’ll read the original post and see (3) more photos if you read the rest …
[Original Post: Oct. 14, 2008] Renovation at Cohens Fashion Optical
The building where Cohens Fashion Optical and other local businesses such Sneaker Square and Boulevard Drinks are situated at (corner of Kennedy Boulevard and Journal Square) is being renovated/reconstructed. This afternoon, it caused a slow-moving traffic along JFK Boulevard, as only one South-bound lane was open to traffic.
The photo above was taken when I was just Pavonia Avenue.
In front of Journal Square Pub
Normally, it would only take less than a minute to drive through this boulevard, but I caught the red light due to heavy volume of cars.
I was north-bound, in front of the JSQ fountain
After an hour, I saw less car but the south-bound traffic was still slow moving when I was on my way to a meeting.
On the way home. Scaffolding already installed.
On my way home, scaffolding was already installed in the front of the building. The traffic was of course relatively light.
But by the looks of it, the construction/renovation won’t be finished until next week.
