Renovations - When will this place reopen?

Last minute chit-list fixes continue at the rehabilitation of J. Owen Grundy Park in the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey.

One thing we don't see in person or in these photos are flag poles. You have to sroll down in the blog to see the lone flag flying over the renovated site.











Check out the Hudson Reporter for an update on the park and reopening.

Revised 6.25.08

Closer to reopening the park

Yes, soon, friends, we'll be able once again to walk to the end and back of J. Owen Grundy Park pier. We'll have a choice of blue or red seats and the pigeons will welcome us back.



Funny, but these photos, taken from the Hyatt pier, don't look all that much different. Believe us, progress has been made. Stay tuned, folks.



Be sure to check out the Hudson Reporter on Sunday for news of the park.
