Jersey City has been named the #8 LGBT-friendly city in America by Nerdwallet. New York City nor Philadelphia made the list.
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop was quick to praise the poll:
“We are excited to have such a diverse community in Jersey City that is recognized nationally. As we prepare to celebrate LGBT Pride Month, it is a great honor to see Jersey City ranked alongside such large cities as San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago.”
So just what is it that helped Cool City rank so highly? A very low percentage of hate crimes against the LGBT community and a perfect equality score. So good on us Jersey City. A #8 ranking is a good place to start, it might even get us into a LGBT bowl game but we can always do better. Let's see that we do. Hopefully NYC and Philly can learn from Jersey City's example.

Jersey City named the 3rd best city to own a dog
In his zeal to run away from the asbestos issue in the PAD last evening Johnny was walking the dire wolf at speed away from the area when he came across this, a most charming pick-up game of cricket, that's not something you see everyday:
The fact Johnny was out enjoying walking his dog in Jersey City and enjoying the non-asbestos part of the evening shouldn't come as a surprise. A group called NerdWallet said that Jersey City is indeed the third best city to own a dog in the good old US of A:
NerdWallet noted that Jersey City also has pet boutiques like Jersey City Unleashed, which they describe as a "pet resort and spa where dogs can attend day camp, receive special spa and grooming services and more."
Other fun places to take your pet include Club Barks and k9dergarten, both located Downtown. Jersey City is also home to pet adoption centers like the Liberty Humane Society in Liberty State Park.
While Cool City got nicked for not having more dedicated dog parks (though Johnny knows of two that are unusable due to construction right now) it's nice to get even more recognition for being a great dog city. Add to that the website that said Jersey City was one of the top walking cities and it's a natural mix.
