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.

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

The bridge that connects Kearny and Jersey City underwent construction.

Grandview Terrace infested with bedbugs! Tenants asked to shoulder extermination fees.

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.
