JERSEY CITY – The Hudson Pride Connections Center will be presenting â€MAN/kind†in partnership with local mixed media artist and curator Ricardo Osmondo Francis from July 18, 2012 through August 31, 2012. “MAN/kind†features the works of several male artists who explore, redefine, and challenge the standard social definitions of masculinity. Throughout the ages, individuals within society have placed a premium on masculinity; therefore making it complicated for those of the “male†sex to live up to what is typically expected of them. Artists in this exhibit include: Jermaine D. Clark (photography), David Antonio Cruz (video), Ricardo Osmondo Francis (painting), Edwin Gonzalez-Ojeda (painting), Shaun El C. Leonardo (drawing and installation), Ricardo Louis (photography), Ivan Monforte (photography), Levan Mindiashivilli (painting), Cristian Tonhaiser (photography), and Mark Vinsun (painting).

Reminds Residents that Inspectors DO NOT take Photographs Inside of the Home
JERSEY CITY – City officials are reminding residents about what identification to look for regarding property tax revaluation inspectors who will be coming to their homes following reports of alleged imposters.
All reval inspectors carry two forms of ID – one from the reval company and the other being a letter of introduction from the City. Authorized inspectors are registered with the Police Department and DO NOT take photographs inside of the residence.
Anyone who is not sure if the inspector requesting entrance to their home is legitimate, should get the inspector’s name and ask them to wait outside while they contact the City’s Reval Hotline at 201-547-4538 (available during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) Residents can also find a link to the photos, names, and vehicle identification information on the city website. If you believe an imposter inspector is at your home, please call 911.
