 Farmers’ Market at Journal Square started about three weeks ago and will continue until the fall season every Wednesday and Friday. If you are a first time resident of JSQ, this event simply means you get a chance to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables locally grown here in NJ.
The market is located just outside of PATH station on John F. Kennedy Boulevard. You’ll also find bread, pickles, tomatoes, snacks, and NEW this year: Gourmet coffee, NJ wines, and Italian specialties.
The Market opens at 10 in the morning and closes at 7:30PM until November 23, 2011 (Wed. and Fri).

 Two brothers are involved in an alleged drag racing incident that killed a pedestrian last night (July 12, 2011) at 10:45PM, according to NJ.com.
Fire Director Armando Roman said fire officials were called to School 31 at St. Pauls Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard at 10:45 p.m. and found a two-car crash and the pedestrian pinned against the fence…the driver in the right lane lost control of his car, crossed into the southbound lanes and struck two pedestrians…
I use this road almost everyday, and I see absolutely no reason for drag racing to happen in this place. Sure, there are less vehicles at night, but that’s not an excuse. If you want to race, go to a designated place to do that.
Condolences to the family of the victim, and speedy recovery to those who got hurt.

 Today marks the 84th Birthday of 7-Eleven, which means Free Slurpee for everyone!
We have three 7-11 stores here in Jersey City, two of them are in Journal Square: one at the corner of Sip and Bergen Avenues across the PATH Station, and one on the boulevard between St. Pauls Avenue and Route 139. The third store is on Tonnelle Avenue next to 555 Market.
Each customer will receive 7.11-ounce frozen Slurpee drink served in a special cup. You can get refills according to the personnel at Sip/Bergen branch. However, the staff on 7-11 JFK and 7-11 Tonnelle don’t have any idea why slurpees are free today. Maybe they’re not participating?  Make sure to give them a call before you go to those branches.
Take advantage of the free slurpee, it is perfect for today’s hot weather! Enjoy it while it lasts, it’s not free tomorrow!

 It’s going to be brutally hot today (Jul. 11) and tomorrow (Jul. 12) here in our zip code, as we reach the 90′s! The temperature reading for today shows 90 degrees, and tomorrow, it will just get worst: 93 degrees with rain.
How to stay cool:
- Drink lots of water!
- Avoid excessive exercise
- Stay in cool buildings
- Turn the AC on
- Wear something light-colored
- Protect your eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
How do you beat the heat and humidity? Personally, I wear something loose matched with a hat and I bring a bottle of water with me to avoid dehydration. I’m also lucky that in my job, we are allowed to wear walking shorts instead of pants/jeans this time of the year! :D

Just got home (6:06PM) from work after an hour drive — 30 minutes just on Summit Avenue alone! The traffic is all the way to the heights area (somewhere between Carlton and Troy Avenue). I sensed something was going on when cars were moving VERY slowly as all intersections are jammed.
Van Reipen and Pavonia Avenues are blocked off, so I couldn’t turn right towards the boulevard. I decided to stay on Summit going South, and it turned out to be a sound decision to make.
I immediately checked the news, and NJ.com reports that there is a suspicious package in Journal Square area: “…The swell of activity is on the southbound side of Kennedy Boulevard at the overpass that is opposite the taxi stand. That is directly above train tracks. All the sidewalks are closed in the area as well…”
All I can say right now is I’m glad to be home! (I hope the package isn’t a bomb)
