Jersey City Register

This Coptic Church building has been closed for a long time now. Has it been shut down longer than Pasha Restaurant has? I am not sure. There was a notice on its front window that says something about “Thanksgiving”, but I really didn’t pay attention.

The building to its left looks abandoned, too. But I saw the “FOR RENT” sign on the top window.

If you know something about this COPTIC Church, feel free to leave a comment.

COPTIC CHURCH
Address : 861 Bergen Avenue, Jersey City 07306
Phone : ???
Status : Abandoned Open on weekends (Updated March 31, 5:26PM based on the comment made by George)

Top - 63 Sip Avenue (Doctor’s Office)
Bottom - 65 Sip Avenue (Hudson Physical Therapy)

They are separated by Jones Street, between PATH station and DMV (MVC) office. What kind of Jersey City business do you think will replace these? Do you know of articles that talked about these abandoned sites? Feel free to post them in the comment section.

On West Side Avenue, I spotted a supermarket (”Fine Fare”) that looked abandoned. Then I realized, 2 more buildings/apartments to its right are also shut down.

755 - 757 West Side Avenue

“Fine Fare?” - 759 West Side Avenue

I have heard/read of West Side renovation, but I’m not sure if these buildings are included. If you know of any articles that point to this area of West Side Avenue Jersey City, feel free to post it on the comment section.

This apartment/house in a residential area is hard to notice as Jersey City motorists seldom drive by Jordan Avenue. So when I saw this at the corner of my eyes as I drove out of the parking lot, I decided to take a few pictures.

Right next to it, is another empty shelter. On the lower window, construction notices are stickied, but I don’t know when they are going to start renovating it.

Talk about hitting two birds with one stone.

Do you have any inside information about these two abandoned apartments?

Abandoned
Address : 66 and 68 Jordan Street, Jersey City
Landmark : St. Aedan Church

This is a recycled photo from my February post.

I have been wanting to post this for a looooong time because I fully know that this Kentucky Fried Chicken in JSQ Plaza has been closed for years now. However, its business neighbors like McDonald’s and Hallmark remained opened (not anymore). No other Jersey City businesses replaced this spot so I classified this as “abandoned”. Hence, a separate post.

When KFC JSQ Branch was still in the business, I always stop by this place to buy my favorite snack (the $1 chicken sandwich) so I was really saddened when they moved to Communipaw Avenue.

When I walked there today to take pictures, I just learned that the whole series of buildings in the plaza have been shut down. (Innocent question: Do you know why?) The smell was disgusting, so I won’t even describe it here.

Oh, and pictures will be posted in the near future so stay tuned!
