Welcome to Jersey City, NJ!

We recently had the most precious foster cat and super regretting not foster failing. Of course fostering another cat is an option and seeing how we connect with him/her, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for rescues or shelters that allow you to meet the animal before you take them home. I’m finding so many rescues push you into a same day adoption and I’m really not cool with that.

Thanks in advance!

Are there any groups that meetup for drawing/painting or any kind of creative arts?

If so you are RACIST

Hi all! My fiance has been growing his hair for over a year now. It's very long now but sadly a lot of dead ends and dry bits from working outside 10 hours a day.

The last guy buzzed off soo much dint listen to him at all. He wad heart broken . It took him so long to grow it then.

He needs a clean up all the dead stuff off and he is thinking of buzzing the sides and up the back for a neat bun style.

Please any suggestion would be awesome ♡

Thank you for your time .

Heads up. On my early AM bike ride in the heights.. on central Ave alone I noticed about half a dozen broken windshields.. and reported it to police who claimed to have already reprimanded the culprit...

I feel like this one time I ended up doing this at grove station but not sure if my memory serves me right? are there any karaoke spots / bars in JC or Hoboken where you can just show up and start singing your heart out? or do I have to go to the city lol

Is journal squared haunted apartment building and it's surrounding haunted?

Looking for moving into the area and want confirmation. I got to know about the history of The Beacon through the sub , not moving there.

What other buildings to avoid? I don't want to do anything with Vecna.

What are pros and cons of buying a multi family house without a basement? If the house is at a ground level or just a 18 inches under the ground , would it cause moisture or flooding issues in a jersey city heights neighborhood?

Lol jk. This restaurant is caller El Gordo in the Heights. The food is so good!

I was just walking my dog down Jersey Ave and the maintenance people for the round garden outside of Taco Drive, etc. told me to not walk my dog there because they spread rat poison around and to “spread the word” so here I am. Note that we weren’t and have never been by the garden, and she was on her 2.5 ft leash on the curb side. I’m sure they were just having a bad day, but I do believe them about the rat poison. What prompts me to worry more is that there are two daycares in less than half a block from there. Does this pose a danger to the kids and is there something I should do?

These people who walk, mostly with their partners, side by side when the sidewalk only accommodates two people yet they refuse to go single file to make room. PSA: you are not more important than the oncoming pedestrians and you will find out next time. Be polite and walk single file when passing. I mention this to my partner and he says, “they are just ignorant and don’t even know what they are doing.” I don’t believe that. I believe they are trying to hold some type of ground. Grow up or learn the hard way.

This morning, in the quiet of dawn, I went for a run along the waterfront. Peaceful, quiet…until I nearly went flying, slipping in a massive pile of dog sh*t left right in the middle of the boardwalk. There it was, ready to sabotage anyone passing by. In the dark, it was impossible to see, and yet you thought it was fine to just leave it there for others to stumble into.

To you, an irresponsible human, who couldn’t be bothered: shame on you. Show some respect for the people who actually care about our community.

It’s not hard. PICK IT UP. Or at the very least, guide your dog off to the side, for God’s sake. We deserve better than your disgusting disregard, without the risk of slipping, scraping, and smelling the consequences of someone else’s negligence.

If you can’t pick up after your dog, perhaps reconsider using our shared spaces.

Even if everyone who reads this post switches their presidential election votes to a different party, you will still have the exact same person as president if you didn't switch your votes.

OTOH if you vote wisely for the local elections (Board of Education in particular), it will remarkably alter your life in Jersey City.

$1Bn out of $1.7Bn of city's money, generating less than 1 in 3 student (< 33%) with English and Math proficiency, by the same Education Matters slate with full control of school boards for 7 out of past 10 years, leaves fewer $$$ for a safer city/better roads/functional 911.

May be try voting for For Stronger Schools and Sumit Sam Salia.

Even if they are as bad as the current slate has been for a decade, at least it will instill some accountability for performance of the board.

Adding sample ballot, thanks to u/SoundMachineJC

My budget is 900-1000. Looking for a room near path station within my budget. Atleast for 3 months or month to month basis

My budget is around 750 - 1000. I need it for atleast 6 months. Let me know if there are any available options. Preferably 10-20 min walk from PATH is okay

I have a bunch of csndy left over from this years halloween, id like to give it away so i dont eat it all. Where can i go to give it away?

I'm considering getting a cat soon and i was curious about the above. The ones i can find so far are all in the city.

Fwiw i don't have a car and live near the grove street path, so distance is important. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

On Montgomery & Bergen

I moved here about 2 years ago, but with NYC being such a commuter city, the few close friends I’ve made have moved out to other states/super far. I’d love to make a close group of girlfriends but it’s been a struggle. Any suggestions? I’m totally nice and normal and live in JC heights.

We live in JC Heights and have had no issues with getting groceries delivered until this weekend when the app and website says we’re now out of range. Has anyone else run into this?

I'm overdue to cut off a foot or so of hair and am looking for a new salon. Tried the Hair Room last time with terrible results, so I figured I'd turn to reddit this time.

Hi! Getting married at battello in February and looking specifically for a karaoke afterparty! Would love any and all recommendations in Jersey city/hoboken (quick uber). Thinking of probably cash bar and some good late night bites as well. Thank you!!

I noticed that a lot of apartments in the D line, which overlooks the stadium AND the parking lot, are selling in the last 12 months. Is there construction coming up that may make views more obstruct?

I heard there's new constructions near Montgomery but this seems far away.
