We are 2 different places and and REAL JC residents don't want to be a part of ny. Call YOUR city (whatever it may be) the 6th borough but JC is NOT THE 6th BOROUGH!!!!! Thanks for the amazing pics but don't ever ask that question again, it is a stupid question

wow dude...I'm curious, did I write anything about it's culture or vibe? did I say anything about JC trying to be part of NYC? No no, I'm pretty sure I didn't, in fact I think I had clearly said the question is hypothetical. I was just curious about others opinions. So before you speak for all of JC and before you post such an asshole response, try reading my opening.

Thanks for posting this up. I read the first article when it came out, but I havn't heard much since then. I did find this though.

Hopefully they utilize the area well. A highline style park would look awesome on the embankment.

PS: You should do a thread of the other cities I was raised in Hudson County which were Union City & West New York! They are just as gritty too!

I'm really glad you liked the photos. In time I will defiantly have another JC thread and a thread that covers the rest of Hudson County. Among the NJ threads that I will have out shortly are Newark, New Brunswick, Trenton, Camden, and Atlantic City. I also might do small towns of Central Jersey and Jersey Shore thread.

Just wanted to give a heads up that I had just got back from Las Vegas and San Francisco and I have accumulated many photos to post up.
