There it stood these past few years on the corner of 19th street and Broadway in Bayonne, how many times we all passed it, looked at it while waiting for the traffic light to change, and it never lit a light bulb in our heads.
Is that who I think it is? Just yesterday a post went around Facebook stating that the Sunflower is the official flower of Ukraine with similar image of a man looking out of Sunflowers. After that post appeared many people began to ask, “Is that who I think it is”? It certainly looks like him. Perhaps the artist who at this time is unknown, although he signed his name for the world to see, was making a statement on the Russian invasion of Crimea back in 2014.
Or did he look further and was warning the world and saying “Watch this guy.” Until we can talk to the artist to find out his motivation, we will wonde,r Prophetic message or coincidence. What do you think?
For now every time we go passed this utility box prayers will be said for the brave people of Ukraine that their suffering ends soon and they can live in peace again.

City Council Votes Tonight on Nearly Doubling the Size of Much-needed Park Space in Ward F
Mayor Steven M. Fulop joins City Council members, the Jersey City Parks Coalition, and community members to announce the expansion of the new community-driven Fairmount Square Park with the acquisition of an unsightly car storage lot to increase the size of the new neighborhood park in Bergen-Lafayette by 40%.
Following the success of the City’s 2019 pilot program to replace the underutilized space with a functional park, which has remained in place since, the City conducted a traffic assessment and held numerous community meetings to incorporate residents’ input into the new vision for a safe outdoor recreational area to benefit the neighborhood. With the acquisition of the additional property currently used to store cars for an auto body shop, the City will expand the park by an additional 3,200 square feet.
“We are creating this brand new park at the residents’ request, and today, we’re taking it a step further by transforming an adjacent scrap yard into green public space to foster community and promote physical and mental activity outdoors,†said Mayor Fulop.  “After hosting numerous community meetings and surveys, this transformational park is the latest example of how we continue to look for ways to help neighborhoods in all six wards meet their fullest potential by listening to the residents’ needs and turning their input into actionable steps to improve the community and quality of life overall.â€
