Ethnic: adjective: relating to a population subgroup (within a larger or dominant national or cultural group) with a common national or cultural tradition.

What’s the problem, he asked rhetorically.

No problem. Just the heading in the photo

There was a Chinese (Mid-autumn festival presumably) event in JC?

Let's see the rest of that pamphlet.

Jersey City used to be a lot more diverse🥴

Managed to squeeze Columbus Day parade in there 😂😂

Man, things probably got put on hold after the Greek festival :(

It’s in incredible condition for something 20+ years old, I throw that type of stuff in the trash immediately

Yeah, I found it in some old free books I picked up a few years back

Kinda hard to fit in a single photo, but did just post a pic of the map!

Yea now it’s yuppie trash

It happens.

I recently found 20 year old mint condition menus from two local takeout places I frequent. All because I cleaned every newer one out of the house and went hunting for them.

The white (non-hispanic) population exploded from <checks notes> 21.7% to 22.1% from 2013 to 2020, only making it either the 3rd or 4th largest ethnic group depending how you're counting in both years. Jersey City is a VERY diverse city, and has not stopped being one.

Big price differences?

It was a big difference from even before inflation, with the Chinese menu. Most of the prices were around half of what they are now. The chicken place was already overpriced back then, so they're up only about 40%

Probably. San Janeiro got canceled in NYC.

Baumol's cost disease, labor intensive services increase in price faster than goods. Can't quite automate a chef nearly as efficiently as a production line can be.
