Thanks to all of the hard-working Americans who keep our country running. Happy Labor Day!
I didn’t report on the Jersey City scene last week, as I was on vacation in a place with no internet access—yes, really. I highly recommend taking a tech break every now and then.
Now that I’m back, expect plenty of new content.
Cheers,

There will be plenty of entertainment—live music, games, an obstacle course, food, a vendor’s marketplace, a dunk tank, bronco ride and plenty of guest speakers who are prominent on the battle for local and national recognition. Our ever-present Mayor Steve Fulop will also be making an appearance.

Kick off the weekend with “Live at The Lumberyard,” a free concert in the Heights starting at 7pm. The event really does take place in a lumberyard, located on Palisade near Griffith Street (close to Riverview Fisk Park). Originally scheduled earlier in the summer, the show was called off because it was raining bullets. Hopefully that won’t happen again tonight so we can all rock out. Yay Friday! Bands playing and their links below:
7pm | GMJ Groove
8pm | Sea of Otters
9pm | Twiddlin’ Thumbs
Enjoy the weekend,
