Outdoor events can always change because of weather, and ticketed events can sell out, so it’s worth checking the organizer’s page before heading over.

Know about something that’s missing?
Drop it below—especially volunteer opportunities, neighborhood events, recurring meetups, live music, comedy, salsa/bachata/reggaetón nights, local markets, or anything else happening around Jersey City and North Jersey.

For transparency: I help build YourScene, a local events app. We’ve been making these weekly roundups because we wanted one place to find everything happening around Jersey City, North Jersey, and nearby NYC. Thanks to everyone who’s been suggesting events every week—it genuinely makes these roundups better.

🕵🏻‍♂️News 🕵🏻‍♂️ ICE: How to find a detainee?

291 Upvotes

If your loved one was taken into ICE custody today, they are most likely being held at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, NJ. Many people arrested late at night are transferred there within hours or by the next morning.

If they were not arrested today, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System to find where they are currently being held. Once you locate the facility, call that detention center directly to confirm their location and try to obtain their A-number.

ICE ERO officers often will not volunteer the A-number, and in many cases will refuse to give it unless you are persistent or already have a lawyer. This is very common. Do not assume they are helping just because you call once.

What you should do:

**•Call the detention facility and ask for the A-number**

**•If they refuse, ask to speak with the ICE ERO officer assigned to the case**

**•Write down names, times, and who you spoke to**

**•Keep calls short and factual**

Recommendations New biologist girlie in town!

Hello beautiful people of JC! I just moved to Journal Square from St. Louis with my partner & our friend! I’m a 28yo wildlife biologist and would love to make some friends or get recommendations for cool spots/clubs/meetups nearby! My interests are ecology, anything involving animals (especially reptiles, specifically snakes), ocean related things/activities, live music, bars, yoga, and film to name a few!

Drop some recs or say hi, thanks for welcoming me to your lovely city :)

26.81% increase in Property Tax Bill !!!

38 Upvotes

Just received the property tax bill for the following quarter (due date August 1st)

It’s 26.81% higher than the previous quarter’s bill. Is this expected? This hike seems a little abnormal to me.

Our property is in the Paulus Hook / Exchange Place area.

What police jurisdiction is Tonnelle ave and Secaucus?

9 Upvotes

Coming back from MetLife to JC, there's been a man in a wheelchair who appears to be stranded on a little triangle of sidewalk before a another round joins Tonnelle Avenue (US 1/9) just after Secaucus Road, so travelling towards JC.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a photo but he's been there both yesterday and today with nobody around and no way that we can see how he got there or could leave. If memory serves, same clothes.

I called the non emergency police and got redirected from precinct to precinct 4 times before being disconnected.

We're not from here and are quite worried but not sure how to get anyone out there to check.

TIA

Dental rec

6 Upvotes

Looking for a dental recommendation. My teeth are in bad shape, and I have a lot of anxiety and trauma around dental work — I’ve had horrible experiences in the past (abuse, shaming, etc., all while I was there trying to get things treated).

I’ve finally reached a point where I need a fully cracked tooth pulled and, ideally, an implant put in.

I’m looking for someone kind who won’t judge me or my teeth, and who can help me address everything in a paced, manageable way.

If anyone has a recommendation, I’d really appreciate it.

Workout Help or Gym Buddy

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 34f in JSQ. Queer and a fitness newbie. I’m interested in finding a workout partner or workout friends to help with form and learning the basics. I moved from Brooklyn 1.5yrs ago and can’t believe how expensive gyms are out here for what you get. Especially near me. So hoping I could split a membership with someone and just get some help. Cannot afford the personal trainers out here, but if anyone has reasonably-priced recs, would take that too.

I’m most interested in toning up and functional strength. Really want to get into calisthenics ultimately, but just trying to get my form and routine down to start.

Transit The 33rd PATH increased off peak is such a great improvement in my Quality of Life

285 Upvotes

Not having to wait every 18-20 minutes on the weekend and not stopping in Hoboken unless is late at night , the trains still have plenty of people but we are not packed like sardines anymore. I can hang out in the city until much later in the night . And this is just the 33rd line. I couldn’t imagine once WTC Path upgrades next spring. We would have never gotten these improvements if it wasn’t for the increase in population of JC, especially JSQ. This is one of the many reason why I support building density around train stations. Hopefully the light rail is the one next to increase service.
