Photos: After the December 19th Snow Storm in Journal Square

Snowman on Newkirk Street

The pre-winter storm yesterday (December 19th, 2009) dumped at least 15 inches of snow in Journal Square, probably 18 inches in some areas of Jersey City, and it clearly outmatched the first snow storm of the season on December 4th.

I was able to drive around and take some pictures of the neighborhood to document the aftermath of the snow storm, 2 days before the official winter….

On Van Reypen Street

Pictured above is a man using his snow blower to clear the sidewalk on Van Reypen Street.

Vroom Street and Van Reypen

On the other hand, these men at the corner of Vroom Street and Van Reypen preferred to use the shovel.

Tonnelle Avenue

Kids were having fun in and with the snow on Tonnelle Avenue.

Pavonia Avenue

Meanwhile, these ladies were having a tough time clearing the front of their apartment.

Tuers Avenue

The street where I live — Tuers Avenue — as pictured above, needed some serious snow plowing.

I’ve heard from the weather forecast that it is going to be a white Christmas this Friday, with a mix of rain. Advanced Merry Christmas everyone and take care on your way out!

Teens Clean Up Journal Square, Jersey City

Del — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:00:46 +0000

I saw a group of teens (around 10-15 teens, some not in the picture) cleaning up streets and curb this morning on Tuers Avenue. This is not the first time I saw people cleaning up sidewalks of Journal Square this summer. A couple of days ago, I saw another group (older) on Newkirk Street and yesterday on Pavonia Avenue between JFK and Summit.

Jersey City definitely could use this type of service.*thumbs-up*

Jersey City Crime: Fatal Shooting in Journal Square

Another Jersey City Crime: A man was shot dead yesterday afternoon (June 8, 2009) at a basketball court on West Side Avenue between Broadway Street and Pavonia Avenue — north west of Journal Square PATH Station. Investigators said that the victim may have been involved in a dispute a day before this incident.

Police said the suspect is still at large. Read the rest for the news…

Snippet of the news:

… Darius Burgess, 28, of Corbin Avenue, was shot at least once in the back near basketball courts located east of West Side Avenue near Pavonia Avenue, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said.

The shooting was reported just after 2 p.m. and DeFazio said the victim was rushed to the Jersey City Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 p.m…

I remember this basketball court because I used to play here with my friends few years ago. There’s a public swimming pool next to it, which opens every Summer.

Anyone with information on the killing is asked to contact the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office’s Homicide Squad at (201) 915-1345.

Jersey City Crime: Stabbed to Death in Journal Square

Del — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:38:35 +0000

Here’s another murder in Jersey City: A man (Manuel Reyes, Sr) was stabbed to death in front of his apartment, news said. This happened Wednesday (May 6, 2009) and he was pronounced dead at 9:40PM at his place at Pavonia Avenue and Van Wagenen Avenue.

If my count is correct, Jersey City has already reached the double-digit mark for murder this year. And in Journal Square, I think this is the 3rd or 4th stabbing and this is the only incident resulted to death if my memory serves me right.
