Johnny's a big Daffodilian

You?

Anyone else thinking Spring today?

Tulips, daffodils, crocusesez's, and all the spring flowers are popping up everywhere. Another week or so we'll get this in Madison Square Park or the one below from right here in Cool City. Our winter that wasn't is giving way to the Spring that is!

A perfect metaphor for this week

It would seem the last vestiges of winter will begin to pull out of the Tri-State this week with the little piles of snow and bits of ice making way for temps in the 70's by Wednesday.

While it hasn't been a bad winter by any stretch, any day that wants to be 70º and sunny, Johnny's all for that.

It's the Jersey City "Big Dig" and frankly we dig it, BIG

With the help of corporate sponsors, Jersey City planted around 17,000 daffodil and tulip bulbs around our fair city to beautify the city come spring. The project cost the taxpayers nothing (nice) and all that was required was a little sweat equity. Daffodils and tulips were chosen as they come back fresh, new and beautiful each and every spring.

The sponsors of this city-wide event were Century 21 Plaza Realty, the Hudson County Improvement Authority, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority, Liberty State Park, PSE&G, United Water and the Westin Jersey City.

Thanks to all who supported or got involved!
