Maybe it was the cumulative effect of yesterday&#8217;s 10-mile JC Bike Tour (or the 100 bike miles over the course of the previous week) piled on top of Fridays&#8217; Machete y Ron performance and Saturday&#8217;s Everything JC festival in the Heights, but I&#8217;m not complaining.

The last time I saw Charlie Markey was (randomly enough) at the C-Town on Jersey Avenue.

Ever since the days when former Jersey City Mayor Frank Hague threw his wild, whiskey-fueled, Roman-themed parties at the old Casino,  Asbury Park has always been the shore destination for Jersey City folks.
