Thank you! And I do too 💯

[@neffseda4181]

Wow bringing back memories. Lived there with my ex. Remember A1 deli on grove st. They made amazing sandwiches. I use to love hard Grove cuban restaurant to.

[@ShaynonGramling]

@@neffseda4181I haven’t been to A1 deli on grove but there was a good restaurant I used to go to a lot across the street from it called Park and Sixth. They had great cheeseburgers, wings and other appetizers. And I miss Talde being here. That was near where Toricos ice cream is now - just on the other side of the block

[@uzin0s256]

i lived there from 2016 to 2020(newport). My happiest memories were there. I loved jersey city and also the rest of NJ

[@ShaynonGramling]

I agree I love Jersey City! Newport is a great area. Many of the buildings in Newport have great views of New York City and you’re only one stop away from Manhattan on the Path Train.

[@uzin0s256]

@@ShaynonGramling True. I miss it so badly

[@ShaynonGramling]

I hope you get to move back here!

[@kathleenrey6471]

That was really awesome shay😮😊

[@chefssaltybawlz]

I went to Kean for college from out of state I remember JC first place I arrived I was like wow what a difference from Texas lol. It has so much potential but NJ in general is awful for taking care of their cities. So many beautiful historic buildings there and Newark that would look phenomenal renovated. Camden too! All those run down houses look to used beautiful and with Philly next door it’d be a gold mine. Come on NJ! We believe in you.

[@ShaynonGramling]

Have you been to downtown Jersey City lately? It’s very nice here now. Pretty much an extension of NYC now. Even some of the areas further in JC are starting to follow. Definitely come back and visit!

[@kathleenrey6471]

Wow Jersey City yes memories

[@tdmainevent]

Moved out of Jersey City a few months ago. It’s not the place I knew growing up. It’s a fake NYC and I hate that. Left and I’m super happy. Especially if you drive, that place will ruin your car

[@chi2om]

I move there for work soon from Texas and definitely would need a roommate

[@ShaynonGramling]

That’s great, I hope you like it here. Best of luck!

[@mbaham85]

Jersey city is getting bigger by the day. They are building skyscrapers and high rises everywhere. It reminds me of a small Chicago with a NY vibe.

[@ShaynonGramling]

Yes it definitely is growing rapidly! Do you live here too?

[@mbaham85]

I use to live in JC years ago lol. I live in south Orange now. I’m keeping my eyes on Newark

[@ShaynonGramling]

How are you liking South Orange? A team I worked on did the lease up on a new development there. Newark is getting a lot of attention now too. Are you thinking about buying an investment property there or home?

[@mbaham85]

I love south orange. It’s very vibrant at night time. They are building up the downtown area. Yes when the mortgage rates drop I’ll be looking for a property close to the downtown Newark area

[@ShaynonGramling]

Born & Raised In Jersey City although I’m moving to build my home somewhere else I’m never leaving completely I’ll also return to visit and pour back into the city

[@ShaynonGramling]

That’s great, I hope the new build goes well. Staying in New Jersey?

Have you been to Bergen avenue and Montgomery Street the church down on the corner there was where we went to church Westside avenue zip avenue there was a big church we went to was on the boulevard and Dunkin donuts was across the street and we used to play hooky from church and go over there and have coffee and donuts and your grandpa found out oh boy did we get in trouble when we got home these are some of the places as as a teenager when I was there I think of other streets that I been on besides Kennedy boulevard

[@ShaynonGramling]

Yeah my first apartment in Jersey City wasn’t too far from there. It was on Fairmount between Kennedy and Bergen. And then I moved to the corner of Mercer and Marin downtown. Sounds like fun times!

[@Wealth82]

I love jersey city too!

[@ShaynonGramling]

It’s a great place! Do you live here? What’s your favorite thing about it?

[@andrekellogg8859]

NewsFlash, they aren't moving to Jersey City, they are leaving the state.

[@ShaynonGramling]

While it’s true that some people are leaving the state, many people are moving here. I’ve experienced this first hand through selling people homes here and meeting lots of people who recently moved here from other cities and states. The population of Jersey City has also grown significantly over the past several years.

[@andrekellogg8859]

According to United Van lines NJ is the most outbound state

[@lawrencevirgil6598]

@@andrekellogg8859New Jersey is awesome. Who cares if people leave. More room for the people who grew up here. 😊

[@andrekellogg8859]

@@lawrencevirgil6598 Well if you want to pay the taxes for all that have left LOL

[@andrekellogg8859]

If I see anymore NJ licence plates in south Florida someone needs to tell the governor of NJ that his policies aren't working. They are coming in droves even in the summer.

[@SG-hh9lu]

Traffic in downtown is horrible 😕

[@ShaynonGramling]

Yeah it has gotten worse with more people moving and visiting here but it’s still not nearly as bad as in the busier areas of Manhattan

[@hullygullys]

Because Fulop has continued to expand his pedestrian plaza, the traffic has nowhere to go.
