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?

298 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**

Mayor Solomon, you helped us out once before during the campaign. Can you send a crew to mow the sidewalk again on the 1-9 bridge in West side?

Left my bike on a lock and some worthless bastard cut smooth through. Fairview avenue inbetween west side and jfk. If you see this guy on my bike kill him bro. 1300$ down the drain because some low life can’t pick up a minimum wage job. Will post a reference image of the bike in comments.

Free guitar starter kit to loving home

Post image
Upvotes

Hey, JC community! I hope this is okay to post here.

As a musician, people are sometimes handing off gear they no longer need.

I was gifted what is a great starter pack for someone looking to learn and I wanted to pass it along to someone in the community.

Is there anyone out there with a kid, or even yourself, who wants to start learning the guitar but is feeling a little extra strapped with the cost of living these days?

Let me know!

Very cheap contact lens fitting fee around here?

Upvotes

I need to order contacts (been wearing the exact same ones since 1982, I'm not even kidding), BUT I have to get the annoying contact lens fitting. My insurance pays for the eye exam, but where can I go to get the fitting as cheap as possible around JC/Hoboken/NYC? Thanks!

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 :)

What police jurisdiction is Tonnelle ave and Secaucus?

15 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

26.81% increase in Property Tax Bill !!!

47 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.

Dental rec

10 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.
