I woke up exhausted this morning. Maybe it was the cumulative effect of yesterday’s 10-mile JC Bike Tour (or the 100 bike miles over the course of the previous week) piled on top of Fridays’ Machete y Ron performance and Saturday’s Everything JC festival in the Heights, but I’m not complaining. It’s a happy exhaustion.

The last time I saw Charlie Markey was (randomly enough) at the C-Town on Jersey Avenue. I had my ear buds in and was unaware that he had been following me around the supermarket for a good five minutes while I considered the difference between the Gala and the Red Delicious. I was startled to [...]
For the half of a half a dozen of you who may have been wondering where I’ve been, a lot has been changing around the good offices of BCB. Mainly, they’ve moved. Uptown (as we used to call anything at the apex of Dickinson Hill) to the Heights. It’s been a great move – I’ve [...]
The blue shirts scattered like cockroaches in the kitchen when I aimed my point and shoot camera in their direction. “Nobody wants to see my ugly mug,” says one of the Spectra Energy reps at yesterday’s Open House in the gym at PS #9 on Mercer Street.

An appeals court is weighing arguments from a group of Tea Party activists in New Jersey who want to recall Sen. Bob Menendez. The groups were in court this week, asking an appeals panel to let them continue to collect names on a recall petition while the court determines if they can even recall Menendez. [...]
Now that’s how you do a snowstorm. 48 hours of steady falling snow can do wonders for a city. Before it turns to hard gray slush, the blanket of white and the hush it brings can fool you into thinking that this little town is something close to heaven. Granted, you gotta be a little [...]
The public hearing on the municipal budget began around 7 p.m., with the first of what would be 30-some-odd speakers. Slightly after 7 p.m. I was on my way out the door. I know this rankles a few of you. How can he report on a meeting he didn’t even stay to watch. I could [...]
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. Actually, I made the part about Frank Hague up. (But it could be true.) The more likely reason for Asbury’s popularity among [...]
Thursday’s indictment of former Newark Deputy Mayor Ron Salahudddin may yet prove to be a blow (or not) to the Cory Booker reelection campaign, but the mayor’s response to the announcement is something Booker’s buddy, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy, might’ve been wise to study. If only the U.S. Attorney’s office had announced the Sullahadin [...]
If you know me, you know I love the city of Montreal. They’ve got a great jazz festival up there and I try to go every summer. Lucky for me, I used to get paid to go to jazz festivals, see great shows and interview amazing artists from a wide range of experiences and geographic [...]
