In a refrain we have heard for years from everyone to the mayor to city council to developers, the big new super duper high rise/office space at Journal Square is back in the news.
Because every four months somebody has to bring it up to make the city seem like it is an imminent project, and shovel ready. It's not. Once again the Jersey Journal is willing to write yet another article filled with quotes from those who one day hope to maybe and perhaps build there. Read the article. Note the many words like "could soon", "hoping to break ground", "hopes to put a shovel in the ground", and "possibly transformative developments." So, in essence, nothing concrete. All STILL just talk.
When you go to read the article just look at the fancy model the KRE Group has built. Isn't that something? Guys, you could build it with matchsticks and enter it into one of those science fairs to see how much weight the structure would hold and it still wouldn't any more near "Shovel in the ground" status than it was five years ago.
Tell ya what KRE Group and Jersey City government, come back and be interviewed for an article on this the day you actually dig something. Until then, please don't bother us with how great this "might" be. In the words of Dieter on SNL's Sprockets:
"Your story has become tiresome."
