A Traditional Holiday At The Landmark Loew’s Jersey

One of the great things about the Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre”, notes Colin Egan, Executive Director of Friends of the Loew’s, “is that in a way, it’s the closest we can get to having a time machine, because the experience of the Loew’s is really timeless.” Since the Holidays are all about timeless experiences, that makes the Loew’s a perfect place to enjoy them: There was a time when the Holiday Season meant heading to the busy shopping street in your city for the chance to visit Santa Claus, who wasn’t set up smack in the middle of a packed mall, but was instead enthroned in a stately old building. Then, if you were really lucky, you’d get to go to a big old theatre - the kind that looked like a palace - for a special holiday show.

There’d be a concert of Christmas carols by singers with beautiful voices, and music from one of the biggest pipe organs you’d ever seen or heard. You Our 26h Annual

with words projected on the Loew’s 50 foot wide movie screen.

And right after the concert, the Loew’s will screen “It’s A Wonderful Life”, starring James Stewart as George Bailey, who in a moment of doubt, is given the gift of realizing all that’s truly important around him, and all the good he’s done.

Admission to The Classic Holiday Show is just $12 Adults / $8 Kids & Seniors for BOTH concert and film.

HCCC students who began college later in life will share their HCCC experiences.

Anyone who has put off college to raise a family, work, or manage financial constraints may learn that now is the perfect time to begin – or resume – pursuing their college education.

Hudson County Community College (HCCC) will hold a “Never Too Late” Information Session on Wednesday, December 18, 2019, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the HCCC Culinary Conference Center, 161 Newkirk Street in Jersey City, NJ. HCCC Peer Leader Koral Booth, who started her college career later, and who co-founded the College’s “Later in Life” Club, will be joined by other HCCC students who began college at later stages in their lives.

The students will provide information and insight based upon their own experiences.

“The diversity of our students both in ethnicity and age is one of our greatest strengths,” stated HCCC President, Dr. Chris Reber.

“Those attending this information session will also

learn that the support offered by and to our students is incredible, and important to their success.” Slightly more than 50% of HCCC students are 22 to 65-plus years of age.

Ms. Booth is a Liberal Arts-English major who will graduate in May 2020.

In Fall 2017, the Jersey City mother of four enrolled at HCCC after being away from the classroom for more than 20 years. Although she planned on just going to class, getting good grades, and going home, she became active in campus life after joining the National Society for Leadership and Success. Today, she is a member of Sigma Kappa Delta, the National English Honor Society, and has been recognized at the College’s annual celebration of Student Excellence and Achievement Awards.

Members of the College’s Enrollment Services team will also be on hand presenting information about the application and acceptance processes as well as classes, campus activities, and financial assistance, including the free-tuition Community College Opportunity Grant.

Bayonne’s Plastic Bag Ordinance Takes Effect on January 1; Carryout Plastic Bags Banned With Certain Exceptions Mayor Jimmy Davis reminded Bayonne residents and retail establishments that Bayonne’s ban on single-use, carryout plastic bags by retail establishments takes effect on January 1, 2020. The ban will not apply to certain uses that are specified in the ordinance.

According to the plastic bag ordinance passed earlier this year by the Municipal Council, as of New Year’s Day, “No retail establishment shall provide any singleuse, plastic carry-out bags to a customer at the checkout stand, cash register, point of sale, or other point of departure for the purpose of transporting products or goods out of the business or store, except as otherwise provided” in the ordinance.

The ordinance also prohibits retail establishments from selling or providing

“single-use plastic straws to customers.”

There are certain exceptions to the plastic bag ban. The ordinance says, “Single-use, plastic, carryout bags may be used by businesses or stores to sell bait.”

There is also an exception for “items required to be sold or delivered in plastic bags in compliance with state and federal food safety and disposal laws.”

There are also six other exemptions from the plastic bag ban: 1.Bags, whether plastic or not, in which loose produce or products are placed by a customer to deliver such items to the point of sale or check-out of a Retail Establishment; 2. Laundry or dry-cleaning bags; 3. Newspaper bags; 4. Bags used to contain or wrap frozen food, meat, fish or other items, whether prepackaged or not, to prevent or contain moisture;

5. Bags provided by pharmacists to contain prescription drugs; or 6. Bags sold in packages containing multiple bags intended for use as garbage, pest waste or yard waste bags.

The ordinance offers some alternatives to single-use plastic bags.

The ordinance states, “All retail establishments shall provide customers only reusable bags and/or recyclable paper bags.” According to another provision, “Nothing in this section, however, shall be read to preclude retail establishments from making reusable bags available for sale to customers or from customers using their own reusable bags.”

The Council passed the ordinance in order to help reduce both litter and the negative effects that plastic bags have on marine life.

JCTC Reschedules Holiday Celebration Due to Recent Shooting Out of respect to the losses of Detective Joseph Seals, Mindel Ferencz, Moshe Deutsch, Miguel Rodriguez, and their families and loved ones, (Jersey City Theater Center) JCTC has rescheduled their Holiday Celebration to February 27, 2020. While they believe that the arts provides healing by unifying

communities, JCTC’s board members, staff, volunteers and resident artists stand in solidarity with our grieving community. Rescheduling this event was a very difficult decision for our organization to make, but JCTC remains deeply committed to serving our community during this very challenging time. We look forward

to seeing you at White Eagle Hall on February 27, 2020 to celebrate the arts and values of Jersey City. JCTC will release further information about the rescheduled event in the upcoming weeks.

MARCUS & MILLICHAP COMPLETES THE SALE OF TWO APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN HUDSON COUNTY, NJ

Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), announced the sale of two multifamily properties, one located in Hoboken, NJ, which sold for $4,000,000, and one in Union City, NJ, which sold for $1,860,000, according to Brian C. Hosey, regional manager of the firm’s New Jersey office.

“We were able to create a competitive buying environment going to market with our process and putting these deals into our system. We are continuing to see a strong flow of investors seeking stability and yield in strong markets like Hudson County.

It was an excellent deal for both buyers and sellers on these deals, as the buyer took advantage of a stable

return with real upside which has become a rarity in today’s rent control world and the sellers capitalized on the timing of the market hitting record high price per units.”

Said Jonathan Zamora, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s New Jersey office, who secured and represented the sellers and buyers, both private investors, for both properties.

927 Willow Ave in Hoboken, NJ is a five-story walk-up with all units newly renovated. 809-811 27th St, Union City, NJ is a 12-unit apartment building.
