Graffiti Removal in Journal Square

Wall being cleaned up on Vroom Street

Yesterday (April 27, 2011) while I was driving around, I saw a group of people removing graffiti from the walls. Not really sure which agency was responsible, but I first spotted them cleaning up the building walls at the corner of Newkirk Street and Bergen Avenue using high-pressure water hose. On the way home, I saw them removing graffiti from the side walls of Lovely Laundry at the corner of Vroom Street and Bergen. Jersey City is filled with graffiti, but I guess their priority are those visible from the main roads.

Mugging: Tuers Avenue Near Vroom Street

Del — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:54:43 +0000

A group of about 6 men assaulted a man on Tuers Avenue near Vroom Street around 730PM tonight – February 23, 2010. According to my neighbor, he was sitting inside his parked van (near Academy Street) when he saw the group walking south of Tuers. They appeared to be “joking around” when he viewed them from his mirror, so he didn’t bother reporting it.

I hope the victim wasn’t seriously injured by this act of cowardice.

Vroom Street Graffiti is Back

Last October, this portion of the wall on Vroom Street (corner Tuers Ave) was grayed out to cover the graffiti. Half a year later, the graffiti returns. Click here to see the “clean wall” six months ago.

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!

Graffiti Gone – Vroom St Jersey City

Del — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:00:49 +0000

Yesterday, while walking home, I noticed the graffiti on the wall of Prudential Bank Head Office parking lot is gone. It was patched up by gray paint. Kids, next time, if you want to post something on the wall, do it on facebook instead.

Shattered Glasses on Tuers Avenue

Del — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:37:59 +0000

It was a beautiful day in Jersey City: sunny and not too cold, blue skies but partly cloudy. So I went to Duane Reader at Journal Square PATH Station and bought some stuff. On the way home, I decided to walk around Vroom Street. I noticed shattered glasses on Tuers Avenue (see pic above) and Vroom Street (no photo). If you are a new resident here looking for parking spot, would you be encouraged to park here after seeing evidences of car break in?

Police Activity at Journal Square PATH? Relax, There’s No Crime

Del — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:45:09 +0000

If you are wondering why there are so many cops at Journal Square PATH station, you probably didn’t know that today is the funeral mass for the fallen Jersey City Detective Marc DiNardo. He was shot in the face during the shootout last week and died in the hospital days later.

Photos inside this post…

His wake was attended by at least a thousand people yesterday at McLaughlin Funeral, and as I am typing this, his casket is being transferred to St. Aedan Church on Bergen Avenue for funeral mass.

I heard the procession is long, and the traffic is heavy. Streets are closed and no-parking zones are implemented.

Mourners will continue to Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington for the burial.

[UPDATE] Pictures of the Procession this morning:

Police lined up on Bergen Avenue

People watching from their apartment windows.

People on the sidewalk watched as the motorcade passed by.

Slideshow:
Slideshow contains photos of procession only. Pictures from St. Aedan Funeral Mass are not included since I didn’t go there.

In this set, you’ll see police departments from across New Jersey (Newark, Passaic to name a few). Procession was led by colors, and pipes and drums. JC Fire Department also marched, as well as Jersey City politicians led by Mayor Jerramiah Healy:

Journal Square Road Repair: Vroom Street

Click to view larger size

South of Journal Square, Vroom Street from Van Reypen (West) to Summit Avenue (East) has been ripped up and manholes are raised — road paving will follow soon.

“No Parking” signs have been posted, but I see cars parked on right side of the street.

I hope Jersey City starts repaving Sip Avenue soon.

Jersey City Crime: Woman Robbed on Tuers-Vroom

Del — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:15:52 +0000

This happened last Friday afternoon (5:15PM) either on the block where I live or further South towards the church (see map above)… A Bayonne woman was walking on Tuers Avenue near Vroom Street (South of Journal Square PATH) when two men robbed and assaulted her. The cowards made off with $2,500 worth of cash and jewelry after they bullied and hit the 44-year old lady in the face, knocking off her glasses.

There have been numerous crimes on this spot in the past (car break-in and mugging most commonly); some documented here, and some not even reported to the police. Expect the numbers to climb during the warm weather.
