Every time something like this happens, remember...

Each time there is yet another water main break in an area where there has recently been a lot of construction or a lot of people have come on the grid, or electricity fails in summer without a storm, or the corners of Warren and Morgan finally collapse after another water event, remember them all. Remember it was the mayor who said the old city train and sewer and water and street grid could hold all the buildings all his buddies made money on. It could more than hold up to the human assault.

Remember moments like these...

66º tomorrow? Incredible. T-short weather in February. 4 more degrees it's Speedo weather.

Johnny's taking the day off tomorrow

And he's going to one of his favorite places to see one of his favorite things on this earth. Any guesses?

Here is his last trip, a few years back.

Irony rears it's ugly head as The One is evacuated

Workers who are under a timeframe to get the park that the One (Lloyd Goldman, BLDG) destroyed of their own volition two years ago is finally being rehabbed. A JCFD source on scene told Johnny that those who are rehabbing the park hit a gas line and thus The One filled up with a gas smell and everyone was told to get out. The park bites back, lol. Residents from The One made the best of a bad situation by using the verandas of Public Storage, 150 Bay St. and and 140 Bay's The Warehouse Cafe while waiting the all-clear.

At least their elevators were working today, something not a given from what Johnny hears. Here now exclusive pictures:

A top notch gallery is making the switch from NYC to Jersey City

It's fantastic this is happening and Johnny is sure everyone who cares about the art scene in Jersey City thinks this is great news. Jonathan Levine is moving his Chelsea gallery, but would you like to guess where? Which part of downtown did Levine pick? He, he chose exhibition space in Jersey City's Mana Contemporary, in Journal Square. This is huge news for The JSQ and certainly will have tendrils in other galleries and artists moving to Journal Square to be part of that scene. The Artist Crawl just gets better and better. More on this story at this handy link.

Johnny certainly hopes you got out and enjoyed this fabulous day with another one coming right behind it. Johnny was out early and often and even found time for a mid-morning trek out to the White Castle in Journal Square, a rare treat.

Since the weather is nice and Johnny will be sleeping with the windows open tonight he'd like to remind the Jersey City Police Department and Jersey City Fire Department of his "No sirens within three blocks of his house from 1AM til 8AM" rule.
