MTV to debut new series about the Jersey Shore

November 14, 2009 @ 6:02 pm

While this may look like a joke, the series is real. MTV is about to unveil a new TV series about the Jersey Shore with all the guidos and overly tanned women you can probably take in a half-hour sitting. The series premieres on MTV on December 3rd at 10PM.

Mark Weaver made this poster that lists a few things that New Jersey is known for. He also made one for Massachusetts and New England too. I like these.

Low fly-by of Air Force One at 30 Hudson Street

April 28, 2009 @ 9:45 pm

Here’s the view from 30 Hudson Street in Jersey City yesterday as a large 747 used sometimes to transport the President flew low over the Lower Manhattan vicinity scaring people and causing companies to evacuate their premises out of caution. The fly-by was a photo-shoot to update the image of Air Force One that the government had on file and the White House has since apologized for their bad judgment.

The Jersey City Powerhouse

I first came across this building back in the winter of 2005 when I made regular trips into Jersey City to the Chan residence. I haven’t seen it in person in a few years, but I remember when I came across it, it seemed to be quite an eyesore because it was in such decay while the buildings around it were so rapidly being developed.

Still, the image of the place stuck with me and just recently I became fascinated with the place again. As far as I know, it still stands and not much work has been done to it (however, the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy is trying to get it restored and reused).

Anyway, I’m probably going to do a go-see later this week (maybe tomorrow) to find out if there’s any way for me to sneak inside. If I remember correctly, the surrounding area is pretty dead and I’m going to have to gauge how busy it might be on the weekends. Crossing my fingers for this one…

Jersey Girls says “What the fuck”

March 19, 2009 @ 2:28 am

This reminds me so much of Adriana La Cerva from The Sopranos. Basically, this video shows the many ways that a Jersey Girl can reinvent the phrase, What the fuck?

Apparently, there’s so many different ways you can say it that the creator of the video made a 2nd vid (posted below).
