I’m proud of this neighborhood spotlight I wrote for the winter issue of NEW Magazine (which is being rebranded as JCI Magazine with the spring issue). The Greenville section of Jersey City has a fascinating past which urban decay has made many people forget. Business owners, artists, and community activists—a few of who I now consider friends—are trying to turn things around. Still time to visit Fischer Confections before Easter!

Loved it! It was great how you led into it with the Jackson brothers. I liked Dee Dee and Frank. Those pecan pixies sound good.
It was too bad it didn’t have more photos – are there more in the print version? I’d bet you took some good ones.
Yes, to an extent I agree with Caren. Feels like I’m there.
If I could possibly bother you for two minutes of your time, I’m seeking some of your scholarly wisdom. I just uploaded 6 photos to my flcker page, and don’t feel comfortable with my captions. Any suggestions? Maybe you can write 6 new ones for me?

April Fools!
Really, that was a nice article. Trying to find the quote I liked but I can’t, something about “tangible things engage young people.”
Thanks Caren, thanks Miclusic! And here I was all excited to write photo captions, and couldn’t find anything uploaded since 2011. You April trickster! Caren, as for your query, the print version had even fewer photos, i.e. zero, which bummed me out a little. And I didn’t take any!!
