Read his story about Tom below:

“As my wife and I killed time near Journal Square in Jersey City we came across Tom. He had this great big smile on his face. I said “hello’, and after a few pleasantries, Tom asked if we could spare some change so he could get something to eat. I said we would do better than that, we’d take him to a nearby Burger King and buy him a burger. He gladly accepted the offer, and on the way to BK he had second thoughts. “Would you mind if we went to Dunkin’ Donuts instead, I like their pizza”. No problem.

We went with Tom into Dunkin’ Donuts and he ordered pizza and coffee.

While we waited, Tom told us that he had just gotten out of the hospital and still was in a bit of pain, and had catheters hooked up to him. But he rarely stopped smiling.

Tom was born in Atlanta, and had moved to New Jersey when he was 6 months old.”

Tom is #30 in Guy’s 100 Strangers project, which is a photo challenge to take 100 portraits of total strangers according to its website. His other JC strangers — Enrique and Ben of Heights and Hamilton Park respectively — were also featured here.

Holly – a New York City Events Professional and traveler – photoblogged her evening walk with her German Shepherd dog Othello in the Heights area of Jersey City last Saturday night. The pictures are awesome, and she said she will add more.
