  1. Hey all. I love reading JC upfront. I am a little sadden though that you didn’t mention there is an Autism Awareness Walk in Lincoln Park this Saturday from 11-3pm. April is Autism awareness month. As a father of a son who is on the spectrum, I kindly ask to disseminate this information. Thank you for all you do and continue to do to inform the Jersey City community of events taking place. Have a great day!

    • Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we didn’t hear of the event until afterwards. Will definitely keep an eye out for future events this month. (And always feel free to shoot us a note on any forthcoming events).
