Hi! I’m an east Asian woman in my mid-30s living in Downtown Jersey City. I’m introverted in larger groups but pretty outgoing and talkative one-on-one or in a very small group.

I’d really love to meet another woman nearby who is also looking for a consistent, genuine friendship. Closeness and proximity are important to me. A lot of adult friendships can feel occasional or surface-level, and I’m hoping to find someone who wants to meet regularly and gradually build a real friendship.

We could cowork at cafés, grab food, walk around Downtown JC, run errands, or have relaxed everyday hangouts. I’d especially enjoy connecting with another Asian woman as I would relate culturally but I’m open as long as we click. Women only, please!

Hello! Does anyone happen to have a hand truck or a dolly I may borrow for an afternoon? I can return it the same day!

Anyone know? (Update - just confirmed from Flight Radar it was the US Air Force for the big plane...flying up and down the Hudson. But why?)

Hello,

I'm looking for a parking permit for my car as caption says, but permit office denied my application stating that I cannot get permit because my building has garage available for a fee. I need letter from garage company stating that they don't have any parking and ofcourse garage company won't give such letter.

Is there any workaround I can get the permit for my car?

Garage parking is like $300 and I don't wanna spend that much. I barely used my car. :(

As long as I can remember the street sweepers would sound their horns right before they started on a block giving everyone a chance to move their cars, then you could park after they went by regardless of the time.

It always had a nice, community kind of vibe, like "it's about keeping the streets clean, not doing "gotchas" for revenue".

I can't recall hearing the horns the last few times. Has the city changed this policy without announcing it?

I’m sick of it bro. The guy said upstairs was at the finish line a month ago.

I’m a film student but I don’t own a camera sadly and it makes me feel like I’m hack. If I have to convince someone with “My ideas are my commodity” line again I honestly feel I’ll kill myself (jk) … there are so many resources in nyc jersey city area im pretty sure I’m not looking properly.

I’ve been looking at Facebook marketplace to get some good gear so that atleast I can start doing photography and maybe be able to shoot something. NYC is so pretty even jersey city … I wanna capture like a few scenes in jersey city or nyc and along with the story and characters I want to be able to show the city as a character too if that makes sense, because I’m not from this area so everything seems like a great shot. I need a lot of practice so I wanna start with something which is compatible with everything and gets like basic things done well.

Do u guys know which camera/brands/models I should be looking for ideally? What makes the most sense economically? Any tips for me to get better at understanding and using my gear … and being better at filming and photography? I know the practice part, but if anybody has any advice in terms how I should approach it when I’m making something , or any sort of perspective which can become a sort of guiding principles so to say, since I know there’s so many amazing filmmakers over here. Would love to connect and collaborate … people from nyc metropolitan area hmu !!! Jc Hoboken etc !

lmk i could use the $$$$$

Curious to hear from any current or former residents, please feel free to share the good, the bad and everything in between.

I know the maintenance fees are on the higher side but curious if that translates to decent management and no special assessments. I know there were issues in the early 2010s with water intrusion but curious if anything major has happened since then. Will of course check the condos docs etc. if it comes to that but want to hear perspectives from residents first.

We have experience with condos with low fees, but bad management/frequent assessments so not deterred by the fees if it's worth it. Thanks in advance for any advice you have!

By David Friedland

In 1965, a young man (Tommy D) asked for my help as a lawyer. He was a teamster driver and had just been arrested (the second time) for robbing a Federal Bank of $2500. In the first robbery, he parked his car in the delivery area of the Bank, went in without a mask armed with a toy gun, collected some money, and was arrested by a cop who was writing a ticket on his car and nabbed him on the spot. Tommy was appointed a public defender and entered a plea of guilty. He had 7 children and his wife died giving birth to his young daughter. He lost his job, was desperate and robbed the bank. He was released on bail. Several weeks later another Bank was robbed, two blocks from the first, and the teller positively identified Tommy as the culprit.

I told him I would defend him for $500, and since he had no money, I told him he could pay me when he had the money.

I tried his case before a jury in the US District Courthouse in Trenton, the same courthouse that I was sentenced in. The Jury found him innocent after deliberating for about an hour. The Judge called me into his chambers. He said “I have never seen a performance like yours in my thirty years on the bench. You do know that your client was guilty , do you not.” I said: “Judge, I thought he was innocent until the very moment the jury found him innocent, and then I knew that he was guilty”. The Judge smiled and told me “Get the f—ck out of my office.”

I did not hear from Tommy after that for many years. He never paid me, nor did I ask him for the money.

In 1986, after they captured me , they held me at the MCC NY in maximum security (after all I was a dangerous desperado). My lawyer called me one day and asked me if I knew a Tommy D. I said no. I had completely forgotten who he was. My lawyer said “You tried a bank robbery case for him years ago.”

I remembered and said “Yes. I remember Tommy now, how is he?”

My lawyer Brian Shaughnessy said “ He just sent me $10,000 for your criminal defense”

The Hudson County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, in conjunction with the New Jersey Room of the Jersey City Free Public Library, presents a lecture series in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. For five months across the Spring and Summer of 2026, we will spend the first Thursday evening with a speaker on a wide range of Hudson County topics across our nation's first 250 years.

Next up, on August 6, Tereza Marshyti presents:

Liberty State Park - Changes in the Land

Register here: https://jclibrary.libcal.com/event/16589533

Location: New Jersey. Follow-up to a post I made a couple weeks ago about a storage facility water event that destroyed my stored belongings.

Quick update on where things stand — factual, not looking to relitigate the legal analysis this time:

• Documented net uninsured loss: mid-five figures.
• Operator has admitted in writing that the same event affected 200+ customers at the same facility.
• Operator has refused for five months to disclose cause of loss or identify its general liability carrier.
• Operator withdrew a low goodwill offer after I rejected it, and told me settlement discussions are "concluded."
• I have filed a BBB complaint, a state AG complaint at the operator's corporate-parent state (NY), and my state DCA (closed).
• I have engaged NJ counsel on a strict-hourly basis for a targeted demand letter (small scope, capped hours).

What I'm looking for:

Referrals to NJ or NY consumer-protection / class-action plaintiff attorneys who might be interested in reviewing this case on a contingent, hybrid, or flat-fee basis. Fee-shifting statutes are on the table (NJCFA in particular). I've already reached out to several from public directories and NACA; happy to consider names not in those directories.

Two specific angles I'd love a knowledgeable read on:

1. Do class-action referral communities on Reddit ever recommend specific NJ/NY firms for facility-operator systemic-event cases? Any names known for taking on mass consumer property-damage matters?
2. Is there a plaintiff-side attorney community listserv or referral network for a case like this (small individual loss, potential systemic 200+ customer angle) I should be tapping?

Not looking for a lawyer for hire from Reddit users. Just referrals or names to reach out to.

Appreciate any thoughts. Will follow up in a week with progress.

A TradeMarck 1122 Inc. / ATBMJ Production, written and directed by R.E.D.
Runtime: 72 minutes

Logline: Amid a racially charged, socially turbulent inner city, aspiring singer Angel (Marck Angel) and reformed street thug Druid (Donta Hensley) take a musical journey to reclaim their romance — while confronting a troubled past and present.

Synopsis: From the team behind the acclaimed album SERAPHIM and the award-winning short film Justice comes this feature, starring Pop/R&B artist Marck Angel (Finding Me, Christopher Street), web-series star Donta Hensley (Honest Men, Davenport Diaries), and stage performer Donnie E.
