Why subscribe?

I guess let me start by introducing myself: I’m Amy, I’ve lived in JC for about 25 years, with twenty of those being in Ward B. I’m interested in writing about parts of JC that go unexplored in existing sites and media. Want to know the great new bar downtown that all the cool professional folks with big fancy jobs in NYC hang out at? Want to know the big city-sponsored event happening by the waterfront? You’ve come to the wrong place, baby! There’s quite a few blogs and IG accounts that handle this info, and they do a good job at it. Want to know how many UFOs have been spotted over Jersey City or what an obscure elected position is? Yeah, that’s what I’m into.

I’ll try to include some upcoming community events and local news, and to be somewhat entertaining.
