I think if you don’t know what you’re seeing, it’s not that valuable. It would be cool to have a historic tour of jc with a tour guide.

I wonder if there is a collection of where the historic signs are , and there could be just a trail to follow to read about the various histories.

They’re all examples proving you wrong, you’re just too stubborn to listen There’s also studies but you don’t believe in science either.

At the end of the day you somehow believe that if we didn’t build any new buildings Jersey City would still be cheap, which flies in the face of any reason, logic, studies, real world examples and common sense.

You’re never going to be convinced you’re wrong, so why argue with you.

Also if you can’t find a decent lunch that’s on you lmao

God's light has no home in that shopping plaza

LSC probably should make the list, for adults & kids alike.

Never understood this, their gripe is against the federal government yet driving/motor vehicles is something maintained by the states.

I'm not personally unaware of the historic nature of the parks, but am asking the question in relation to including them in the list. I guess the people downvoting me don't get that? Most cities of that era would have somewhat similar parks. What makes ours so uniquely must-see, is my point. Maybe the story that was the life of Van Vorst- fancy rich people area, crack houses in the 80s, and the revival had the wonderful VVP Association volunteers make it the wonderful spot it is today

Debated including Morris Canal in the OP, as it's incredibly important to early American history but most folks don't know why. Would you point people to the Morris Square Park plaques as 'the point'?

wellllll it's more of an ironic /for those who know suggestion lol

Yeah, it's just in the lobby in City Hall. Third floor I think? Everyone should visit our city hall, it was pretty neat before but Fullop has been renovating it back to it's Art Deco heyday glory the past few years.

https://architecturaltrust.org/easements/about-the-trust/trust-protected-communities/historic-districts-in-new-jersey/hamilton-park-historic-district/ these parks are from the 1800s and full of history. I love to imagine what JC was like in the 1800s and am fascinated by old maps where you can see the same exact roads we have, the same parks etc.

Newport has a bunch of signs about very old history. Jc was originally a Dutch colony.

I’ve seen similar random historic signs around liberty state park, and the morris canal

Of all the US this is one of the oldest places around here with the most history

It made no sense, and despite claims it was always supposed to be temporary I don't believe that shit. It was painted over because the artist spoke out against the pressure to change it to include the politically connected developer, and painting it over literally covers up the discussion. But that's just like, my tinfoil hat opinion man

It was probably the best public art they have done on the plaza. It was neat, kids loved playing on it, it was swell

No goddamit. He's a fraud.

Ok, this guy in -

The other guy, if there is one, is OUT!

RIP Bronco

Increasing supply should be helping demand, but obviously when the new supply is pricier than what currently exists, it drives up the cost of rent as well. I'm not an expert in this but I imagine there are a number of factors related to rents going up.

The point still stands that the 10% increases are generally only seen in luxury buildings, and that to avoid them, you should rent with a single landlord.

It's a bit touristy, but Liberty Science Center has got to be on this list!

Paulus Hook was the first colonized area in JC (settled in 1633) and became the principal ferry location to Manhattan for much of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Battle of Paulus Hook was a small but fierce skirmish during the Revolutionary War, and the patriot commander Henry Lee was awarded one of the only war medals that the Continental Congress ever authorized for his leadership in the battle.

NO!

Yeah, after 2 years living in our apartment our landlord asked us if it was ok to raise the rent now or if we needed more time.

It was just 100 dollars.

That'd be Elijah

Couldn’t we spend 15 million on a less important museum and use the rest to improve literally everything in Journal Square, arguably the most worn-out part of town.

Boulevard may make the cut.

I'm unsure about Healy's or Barrow Mansion. Maybe because I've gotten undercooked wings at Healy's

Everyone coming out of the woodwork wanting Hudson Mall to make the list

If we're running low that can illustrate our unique car culture

It's true, and it's a twofer around musical history & the graveyard itself.

Cops won’t pull them over, prob a friend.

Gotta know the nod and handshake to get it. Anyone asking for coffee by default gets banned from life around knowing.
