 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.

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.

 7-Eleven on the boulevard. Taken Sept 2010. This is the newest 7-Eleven (7-11) store in Journal Square. It opened sometime in October 2010, less than a year after the first 7-11 opened in December 2009 at the corner of Sip Avenue and Bergen Avenue.
7-Eleven
Description: 24-hour Convenience Store, Snacks, Food, Beverages
Location: 3080 John F. Kennedy Boulevard next to gas station between St. Paul Avenue and Route 139
Phone: (201)798-8811
I haven’t been here yet but being on the boulevard next to the gas station, this store target motorists and drivers. I think it’s safe to assume that the foot traffic is better at 7-11 Sip/Bergen Avenue.

 Tomorrow, June 16, 2010 (Wednesday), Farmers’ Market will start here in Journal Square. It will run weekly throughout the summer until Fall. There are good news and bad news, though.
We start with the bad news. Starting this year’s market, we will not be hearing any more Live Music on the square, as the city cut it from the budget.
The good news: On July 2, Farmers’ Market will begin to add Friday schedules. It may not be as lively buying produce as before, but we have more time to buy fresh tomatoes!
