BALLY FITNESS on Bergen Avenue, Journal Square section of Jersey City is now hiring. But I guess the more important question is: When is BALLY really going to open?

Many residents were anticipating the November opening, but according to JournalSquareJC.com blog, opening date will be moved again since interior construction is not finished yet.

Yesterday afternoon, while Jersey City and the rest of the nation were occupied with presidential election (Obama won, in case you didn’t know ), I spotted a local artist in Journal Square area painting a tree. I asked if I could take his pictures and he approved.

I asked him a few questions; I learned that his name is Steve Singer, and he is a local artist and a sculptor. This painting however, will not go to any exhibit yet. Since he was too engaged with his work, I let him be. “You can find me on the internet.” he said before I left.

Can you guess the exact location of this tree in Journal Square (another pic here)?

[UPDATE] November 5, 2008 - There were no long lines in Journal Square yesterday.
