I see a lot of posts about work. if you’re 18-35 the fire department is hiring in JC (must be a resident).

the application is on the NJ civil service website.

those that truly want to get on take the “bernstein prep course” it’s 500-600 dollars but worth every penny. good luck. i have nothing to do with the company but it will exponentially increase your chance of getting on. if you’re a veteran who has been deployed to the theater of combat you are pretty much an automatic hire.

i just see a lot of posts about work figured id share this

I live by Grove street and want to figure out a new running route. Currently I run to the boardwalk and run along the river for the view and then turn around but eh. I’d love something with fewer people and more consistent terrain.

I used to run in Central Park but since moving here there’s not really parks close by.

Curious where my fellow JC runners get their miles in?

For years now I haven’t been able to enjoy my tiny yard in the summer, because the second I step outside I get chomped to smithereens by these damn skeeters! I just went out to try and garden coated in the most chemically horrible Deep Woods Super Sonic Repels Everybody Off spray, and they didn’t care one bit, bit my poor legs up anyway. For prevention/elimination, I’ve been trying these all-natural “mosquito dunks” and they don’t work at all, plus raccoons eat them.

I really don’t want to resort to some kind of chemical killer (don’t think it would work anyway given the context), but I’m desperate. Any advice or suggestions on strategies people have used that worked? Maybe an old-school zapper? For context I have no standing water around or anything (except my mosquito dunk bucket), but my yard is quite shady if that matters).

Looking for other friends in the area to talk music/go to concerts with - I'm into a lot of genres but tend to lean into more indie/punk/alt/emo/rock stuff! LMK if you're down and can start a groupchat!

Do you guys have any recommendations for free or cheap things to do in JC? Im in the greenville area so its really not the nicest place to go for a walk tbh.

Gonna have a lot of time on my hands soon and want to fill it with fun activities but unfortunately i am big broke for now.

Would this effectively eliminate the “park and ride” aspect of these lots?

I’ve been looking for a therapist but my insurance sucks and I would basically need to pay full price, which I can’t do. Are there any local organizations that offer affordable therapy sessions on a sliding scale or anything like that?

Hiii as the title says lol I’m looking for a home to rent out for 1 weekend to host my birthday party. In the Jersey city area or anywhere nearby. Please let me know, I am willing to pay whatever price it is! The maximum number of guests would be 20ish but to stay overnight it would be around 4-6.

Looking for the best pedicure in JC! Everyone always says Sophie’s nails, but hoping there may be another option. Thank you!

To any wrestling fans in JC: be advised that Brett Lauderdale, who promotes Game Changer Wrestling and often hosts shows at White Eagle Hall, feels compelled to employ a literal Nazi named Drake Younger. They are always at WEH for weekend shows but please BOYCOTT

Saw a sign posted on their door if anyone is interested
