CALLING ALL FORMER JERSEY CITY RESIDENTS

According to New York Magazine, Jersey City is THE new cool place to live. In the article, If You Lived Here, You’d Be Cool by Now, the author talks about the trend of cool neighborhoods moving farther and farther from Manhattan and with Williamsburg already uncool, the author suggests the next prime spot is Jersey City.

Its long but a good read, especially for all of us that used to live and party there. However, for proof that you can't believe everything you read, in interviews with current JC residents, they make an awful lot of comments that we used to make when we lived there regarding the few things the neighborhood needed to really seal the deal. Apparently there is still only one restaraunt on Restaraunt Row (Newark Ave, the street parallel to our old street) and there's still a need for good bars. The article didn't say a thing about that Hard Groove and that has me thinking, "I wonder if Lisa is still there?" Chances are good that Box Car Willy has moved on but I bet How You Do is still there and maybe even MoMohamed.
