Grundy Park needs a new U.S. flag

A missing grommet will be the undoing of this U.S. flag on the pier at J. Owen Grundy Park in Jersey City across from the World Financial Center in lower Manhattan. The grommet has been missing for months. You'd think someone else might have noticed.

The New Look

Before the rededication of the renovated J. Owen Grundy Park pier and later on in the day, after the food, the band and the politicians were gone.

Jersey City once again has a diamond in its rough.

CELEBRATION on J. Owen Grundy Park pier

As I write this, the final touches, the tables of food, the security detail are all putting the final touches on the red-ribbon cutting ceremony about to take place at the rehabilitated park. I'm sure it's open to the public, just don't try to sit on the benches before it's rededicated. Before you know it, the limos and the politicians will show up. I wonder if folks from the Goldman Sachs building will be looking down to see if Gov. Jon Corzine shows up? As for me, my gold-embossed personal email invitation apparently got lost in cyberspace. C'est la vie, it goes to show you never can tell. It's a public event and if you know when the ceremony begins, you can just show up. But I figure, since I still have my day job, I might as well be there. If you need me at lunch time, I'll be inspecting the park. I'll be the squinting guy with camera. Maybe I'll see you there.

Nice View of the Waterfalls in Brooklyn

Would that it were open this week, the J. Owen Grundy Park would be an excellent place to view the man-made waterfalls in Brooklyn. You can see them in the distance in the left center of the photo.

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.

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.
