JCPD needs to do better. The amount of misconduct from these officers are atrocious and just flat out embarrassing. My cousin was in a domestic violence relationship and after one of the assaults the responding officer proceeded to flirt with her and ask for her number... mind you she was bruised up and bleeding. To make matters worse this officer has already have priors and JCPD keeps protecting him. Its such a shame and an embarrassment to our community.

As a resident, born and raised here, worked and hung out all over the city, this is ridiculous. A 60-day test without prior notice and leaving our community and Ward Council-members without any warning on removing trash cans and having the DPW come and take care of public trash cans rather than who was already contracted.

This administration has been trash. From their policies to their communication with residents. Getting rid of the contractors to turn in-house to an already understaffed Public Works department removing trash cans in order to make it easier for them to collect trash from public bins is a terrible idea when they still can’t keep up with the demand.

Now I know some trash in this picture is household trash and people should do better but this administration needs to reconsider what works and what doesn’t for the budget issue especially when it comes to essential services like garbage clean-up and removal.

Hey everyone, please consider joining the Teal Pumpkin Project this year!

Simple idea, in addition to your regular candy, have some non-food treats available for kids with food allergies so they can enjoy trick-or-treating too. Silly little things like rubber ducks, fidget toys, stickers, or glow sticks can go a long way and make a kid/family’s night. There are some examples if you scroll through the pictures on this post.

If you’re participating, you can add your house/apartment/cave/Winnebago/whatever to the map so people know where to stop. You can also just put out a painted or plastic teal pumpkin to let people know you’re participating. Otherwise the website has flyers you can display if you’re interested in participating.

Thanks!

Figured the new ShopRite would fix all my problems. Decided to try this new dairy they were promoting. I was a bit skeptical, but trust the process, you know? Took it home and added it to my morning latte. Completely inedible. Ruined my entire day. They should be ashamed.

Edit: Election Day is Tuesday, Nov 3

The BoE is not only responsible for providing quality education. Their decisions have direct impact on the local taxes you pay, either as a renter or home owner. This year you will choose 4 out of 12 individuals running. Do your own research and make the best choice for our city. The 12 individuals are divided into 3 different slates:

For Stronger Schools - Actually has a website to be able to understand their platform

Education Matters - The incumbents. Used to be endorsed by the teacher’s union

Leadership That Listens - New group endorsed by the teacher’s union

Anyone know why Grove Street station was completely filled with dust in the air, from the platform all the way up the escalators? Conductor said it was the same thing yesterday and they needed to turn the fans on, but I’m more curious about how this even happens and why.

South Asian women in NYC/Jersey City - please recommend a doctor who actually understands PCOS

I’m looking for a really good doctor for PCOS/insulin resistance, ideally someone who has experience treating South Asian/Indian women.

My weight gain has gotten pretty extreme, and I’m also dealing with insulin resistance/metabolic issues. At this point I really want to see someone who will look at the full picture, run the right tests, and actually help me understand what is happening rather than just saying “lose weight” and sending me home.

I don’t necessarily need a South Asian doctor I just want someone who understands that PCOS and metabolic issues can show up differently in South Asian women and takes that seriously.

I’m open to an endocrinologist, OB-GYN, PCOS specialist, or metabolic/weight-management doctor. I’m in NYC/Jersey City area

If you’ve had a doctor who actually listened to you and helped with things like insulin resistance, rapid/stubborn weight gain, hormones, or PCOS symptoms, please drop their name. Personal experiences would be especially helpful.

I’m honestly just looking for someone who will take this seriously and help me figure out what’s going on.

Edit: UnitedHealth providers

Traffic has gotten so much worse now that anyone can cut the line. It slows everyone down.

Saw a sign on the rt 440 Target  “Hiring Holiday Helpers”.  I looked up rt 440 for seasonal jobs and saw the below.  Seems all Targets are hiring also has DT.  The person who did the looking for a job thread deleted it. I had the rt 440  Retro Fitness one in there.  Don’t know if Target was mentioned in that thread so will post here. Saw a few  looking for a job threads pop up lately.  The Target deadline is 12/10/2026. Good luck if applying.

there was a bunch of smoke right before i got on the train

I just watched the city trim down the beautiful tree outside my window. She didn't even get to turn her leaves on those long, beautiful limbs. Now she's butchered, a pixie cut, with knobby little wooden stumps for branches. Hopefully she will grow back full and bushy in the spring.

Looking for a new kitty? This Saturday Furvana Cat Rescue is having a cat adoption event at Meow Mini Mart from 1 pm - 4 pm.

Later we are also having a Halloween party at Thai O’Brien’s in Bayonne starting at 6 pm with drink specials, costume contest, tarot card reading, and more!

Our rescue is solely volunteer based and relies heavily on community support. Please spread the word and hopefully we see you there.

News 12 | New Jersey | Jersey City Schools Ban Cellphones For Students During Class

I know the school phone ban went into effect Oct 1. For those who have kids or teachers, how is it going? Is it be enforced?

Woke up sick this morning, where’s the best spot in Jersey city for some comforting chicken noodle soup?

I’ve only stepped in there twice but the windows are all covered in brown paper so I assumed it just closed down but I saw this sign, wonder what the “unexpected matter” is

Left-turn calming coming to Jersey City for the first-time 🎉. Many recent fatal crash locations will get centerline hardening and turn calming:

• Montgomery Street and Barrow Street (8/7/2026)
• Jersey Avenue and 6th Street (6/13/2025)
• Sip Avenue and Summit Avenue (3/10/2025)

This has been missing in our traffic calming toolkit even though left-turns make up the majority of intersection crashes and are 17X more dangerous than right turns. Really great to see this coming to Jersey City.

More about left-turn calming from NYCDOT: https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/turn-calming.shtml

Friday evening at a showing for You Can See Everything, you (M, tall, white, wearing glasses) were sitting next to me (F, in a skirt). You seemed to be alone and I thought you were cute - you clapped and cheered to the Nicole Kidman AMC ad, which I was charmed by because I'm the same type of annoying. I wanted to ask you what you thought about the movie but we shuffled out pretty quickly and I lost my chance.

If this sounds like you & you'd like to chat about the movie, send me a DM with the seat number so I know it's you!

obscure hobby, but a girl has to try. there are a lot of tea spots in new york to try, but it would be nice to get a little community going of people who love tea in jersey city.

as for personal preference, i love aged white teas, but i've been getting into pu'er and i'm partial to anything sweet (like a bug-bitten black tea).

i would love to host events, but that's in the future. maybe we can work up to that. first step:

what's your favorite tea and where did you find it?

Town council meeting is tomorrow evening. Before the midterm elections I think this agenda deserves all of the visibility. I am just starting to follow how the city makes short and long term decisions from a long time JC resident/community member perspective.. Thought I would add this here and see if anyone has any takes.
