from new jersey journal square to 23 street with the path train
The Journal Square Transportation Center, opened between 1973-1975[14] includes the Journal Square PATH and bus station.[15] and is headquarters of the Port Authority Trans-Hudson. It is attributed to have contributed to the decline of the district by moving the train-bus interchange, and thus pedestrians, away from other commercial activities around the square.[10] It is built on an elevated bridge structure above the Bergen Hill Cut, an 1834 railroad cut once used by Pennsylvania Railroad main line and Jersey City Branch and now by the PATH rapid transit system and an occasional freight train. In front of the station is a statue of Jackie Robinson who in 1946 crossed the baseball color line at Roosevelt Stadium.[16] A statue of Christopher Columbus the work of Jersey City native Archimedes Giacomontonio has been located on the square since 1950.[17] The Hudson County Community College campus is a collection of buildings throughout the district around the square.[18]Saint Peter's College has its main campus a few blocks to the south, as does Hudson Catholic Regional High School near McGinley Square.
Northeast of Journal Square near Five Corners is the county seat of Hudson County. The Hudson County Courthouse, is at Newark and Baldwin Avenues.40°43′53″N 74°3′29″W. The Hudson County Administration Building, at 595 Newark Avenue, is home to many county agencies and departments. It is home to the Five Corners Branch of the Jersey City Public Library is sited on the intersection itself. The Jersey City High School at 2 Palisade Avenue. A concentration of shops operated two of the city's ethnic groups, Overseas Filipino and Indian American,[19], can be found along Newark Avenue. Many of the buildings in Journal Square include housing stock (such as brownstones, pre war apartment buildings, frame houses), convenience stores, bodegas, downscale franchises, that Jerremiah Healy, mayor of Jersey City, has referred to as "ugly old eyesores."[10]
