The dream of a single contiguous waterfront walkway is a little closer to fulfillment with an ambitious plan to connect Veteran’s Park and the Morris Canal Park over the Morris Canal. The plan bi-passes a small stretch of land where developers did not construct the waterfront park. Veteran’s Park, pictured above, is home to the […]
Automata Chino is a new music venue attached to the Iron Monkey in Paulus Hook. They seem to have a very full schedule of bands. They have a limited food menu, snacks mostly, and a more or less full bar. Hipsters will appreciate the Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Friday is the March edition of JC Fridays. Events are planned throughout the downtown, including several gallery openings and art shows at various bars and cafes.
Megan Gulick’s solo show featuring furry animal paintings opened last night at LITM. The show runs through the end of March. Fuzzy bunnies were in attendance. Apparently some of the LITM staff “lost” their fuzzy ears

This in turn lead us to those responsible for the unicorn, a seemingly hipsterific community of artists, The Agitators. The Agitators described themselves as “a collective of vibrant individuals setting out to […]
