Reply to comment by DeepFriedAsses in I’m sick of all the negativity about JC, what do you love about this city? by The_Nomadic_Nerd

You’re a little behind. The arts scene is a shell of what it was 10-15 years ago unfortunately. It’s only going to get smaller as more artists get priced out or just give up and pay the same rent in NYC :/

There are less and less galleries and local artists as poorly planned development continues to price them out. Best you’re going to get is a mural slapped on some new construction to convince people they live in a up and coming arts district.

Still, it feels like there's an energized enough community there making cool things happen, if you look for it. Gotta go out of downtown, maybe.

I’m very familiar with the JC arts scene and have been involved for the past decade. Trust me- it’s fading compared to what it once was.

At least the other sectors I mentioned are doing well
