Ah makes me miss my hometown (Jersey City), though it's so overcrowded now😪

[@luislaplume8261]

Boy has Jersey City changed since I moved there in 1985. 😮

@@luislaplume8261 Yesss it has, I left 8 years ago and the last time I visited, I was really saddened. So gentrified and almost unrecognizable.

@@TwinBleaks I will take your word for it. I am now retired and I'm living in Illinois in a small town by the Illinois River. By the way when the light rail was extended to Bergenline Ave. in Union City I went to a Cuban bakery to buy dessert for my late mother once in a while on weekends. It is much faster than the bus. Me and my late parents were born in Cuba. 😊

I always want to ask people if they realize that the fireworks are in the air. Every seat is a good seat.

Hoboken could not handle the traffic. It was disastrous traffic. It was a nightmare. Never again.

@@rayblox4859 Take the bus or light rail aka streetcar to Hoboken next year.

[@rayblox4859]

@luislaplume8261 We get home at 1 am. Our normal drive is 20min. We already pledged to never again Hoboken. There were 4 police officers on the 14th st. Controlling the traffic, ignoring light signals. They made the situation way worse. It was the city and untrained officers. And I see some drivers screamed or honked at them, they pulled them over and took pic of their license n plate.

@@rayblox4859 Apparently Hoboken budget is a racket to raise as much money as it can and the Mayor of Hoboken is in on it. I had Economics 101 in 1972 on high school in my old hometown of NYC as well as Political Science. Back when we still had a real education in America. Next time try Liberty State Park in Jersey City where I lived from 1985 til 2010.
