This Friday began early for me as I got out to check out Creative Grove, and see how the shops would set up with Groove on Grove’s special appearance for JC Fridays.

But this is Jersey City, and there’s not much short of a flash flood that could stop [...]

So as I crossed Grove Street in the rain to start my evening of rocking through JC Fridays, I made sure [...]

- Irene Borngraeber puts two cents in on how the businesses that participate in JC Fridays handle the art displayed during the events. “JC Fridays is not about art,” she concludes. Someone from Art House Productions responds in the comments: hopefully this conversation will continue and make JC Fridays even better.
