What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?

I moved to Downtown Jersey City in 2005, the day after I graduated from Montclair State University. My first apartment was in the Village. The walk down Newark Avenue has changed dramatically since then. When I moved here I almost exclusively met friends in the city on the weekends. Now, friends from the city come to meet me here and we hang out at any of the great places along Newark Avenue.
