Jersey City Needs a Night Life
If Jersey City wants to be a city and not a suburb of New York City, it needs its own night life. As chaotic and loud as that may be sometimes, it's a need. It will put money in our business' pocketbooks if we have concerts and bars in this city. There is no way to deny the positive impact that cultural activities have on a burgeoning community.
Steven Fulop is attacking our ability to host cultural events. Tris McCall is doing a good job reporting on this, so check out what he's got on the issue.
Unfortunately, this ordinance has been passed. That does not mean that we cannot express our dissatisfaction with all of those involved, and let them know that we will not be voting for them in the future, and we do not appreciate their back-woods provincial attitudes in our cosmopolitan vision for Jersey City.
Here is information that will allow you to contact Steve Fulop and let him know he is making a grave mistake, trying to turn Jersey City into a suburb.

Hey Boys and Girls, we have an opportunity to meet with Steve Fulop on Tuesday night.
City Hall on Tuesday, July 24th at 7pm, he will be answering questions about the new Entertainment and Dance Licenses Ordinance.
Also, here's Fulop's office information for sending a letter or giving a phone call, both of which I will be doing.

i agree fully that Jersey City desperately needs a main strip where bars, cafes and restaurants can attract people to. If Jersey City seriously wants to become a city of sorts, then they need to begin emulating some of the qualities that areas like Williamsburg are quickly becoming - havens for artists and young urban professionals can interact and socialize
I've read the new ordinance over, and basically the upshot is that if you want to have music that is audible after midnight, you have to have a license and pay money to the government.
Just another way to eliminate the non-commercial, non-linear with a fee schedule.
