Before you enjoy the rest of the day, read on for the most interesting topics about Jersey City for this week (June 29-Jul 5, 2008) in no particular order:

TOP 6 POSTS

* JC 4th of July Celebration at Liberty State Park
Annual Celebration was highlighted by impressive fireworks. A week ago, across Hudson, there was a fireworks display in NY, prelude to July 4th. PATH anticipated increase of riders for the holiday so it added more trains to accomodate passengers.

* Philippine-American Friendship Day Festival Cut Short
Because of the storm that’s why. As a result, Filipino Idol Grand Finals will be rescheduled.

* Mugging at Walgreens Parking Lot.
This is the second time in a week after the failed carjacking at the same location. List this down in June crime stats!

* Wittpenn Closed for Two Consecutive Nights
The bridge that connects Kearny and Jersey City underwent construction.

* Bedbugs in JC!
Grandview Terrace infested with bedbugs! Tenants asked to shoulder extermination fees.

* Caven Point - Getting a New Field
Expected to finish by September 1st, in time for school.

HONORABLE MENTION

* Holly enjoyed her evening walk in the Heights
She’s an Events Professional in NY who has a big heart for volunteering. She photoblogged her night walk in the Heights, capturing the diverse community in the area.

* 100 Strangers Project: Tom of JSQ
I like this project a lot. Guy as in Gee and his wife met Tom of JSQ and treats him to lunch. Guy is another JC resident with a good heart, and is never afraid to meet strangers.

* JC Farmer’s Market and 440 Farms
Ian of New York’s Sixth blog lists summarizes JC’s Farmer’s Market. Meanwhile, a market in 440 also sells good produce (and fish weekly).
