Leave a comment

Impact in Densely Populated Jersey City Would Be Catastrophic

JERSEY CITY – Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy and other city officials today reiterated concerns about the construction of a natural gas pipeline in Jersey City following Thursday night’s devastating pipeline explosion in a suburb of San Francisco.

 “We have repeatedly expressed our concerns about Spectra Energy running a high-pressure natural gas pipeline through our city, and what happened yesterday in San Bruno brings those fears to a new level,” said Mayor Healy. “While the incident in California is still under investigation, the explosion there claimed several lives, injured many, and leveled dozens of homes. If this type of explosion were to happen in a city our size, we cannot begin to comprehend the level of devastation, destruction and loss of life. It would be catastrophic.” Continue reading Natural Gas Pipeline in California Suburb Highlights Safety Concerns Expressed by Jersey City Officials →

Can Big Brother Contestant Enzo Palumbo of Bayonne NJ Win The Game Now That He Has Made It To The Final Four?

Leave a comment

By Joe Calamito

Big BrotherEnzo Palumbo A 32-year-old insurance adjuster from Bayonne, New Jersey just might have the Hudson County street smarts to stick around to the very end on CBS’s Big Brother and come back to Bayonne with the prize.

Never having watched CBS’s Big Brother in all the years it has been on the air, I became interested when my children told me that a guy they know well, and went to school with from Bayonne was a contestant on the show.  After watching several episodes I have become hooked. Maybe it’s this Palumbo guy he reminds me of all the guys I grew up with in downtown Jersey City and still know today. Jersey cool, laid back, popular, unruffled, low key, charismatic, astute, shrewd and street smart.  Charastertics I believe that can get him to the finish.

Meeting Pets' Needs on a Budget

Meeting Pets’ Needs on a Budget 

(NewsUSA) – It is possible to care for, even pamper, your pet on a budget or fixed income. By planning carefully and making smart shopping decisions, you can save money on food, toys and treats.

– Save money on everyday essentials, such as pet food, by shopping at deep discount stores. Forty percent of the money Americans spend on pets is for food. You will find savings on name-brand pet food at a deep discount store such as Dollar General. Remember that you can save even more by buying private label food. Many private label products are equivalent to the national brands.

What’s a Snooki, and How Long Will We Want to Endure This ?

Come on now somebody had to ask the question.  Here’s another one- “Aren’t we all getting a little tired of hearing about the negative press  this show generates and these New Jersey and Staten Island shore kids  involved in the show.”  I know I am. I would like to say something to the cast of Jersey Shore… Kids, I use to hang out down Seaside Heights in the 60s,and early 70s some of my DNA is probably still hanging around,  thousands of metro area youth for decades have done the same thing for countless summers- head down the shore: drink, sit on the beach, party, get in fights, meet girls, meet guys, get in arguments, hang out in clubs, drink, drink, drink etc.

wall-artHudson County has become a haven for artists . On any street, at any given time, you’ll never know what art medium might be staring you in the face. Like this graffiti figure staring from behind bushes on Rt. 440 in Bayonne.

 

or how about this one …this-buds-for-you

Here an artist has planted Coors Light Bottles to look like a  hostas plant.

To bad it wasn’t Bud Light -then we could call this photo…

 “This Buds for you.”
