DescriptionJournal Square serves as one of the major transportation hubs in Jersey City and was once its commercial heart. Similar to Times Square in New York, Journal Square was named after a daily newspaper, in this case the Jersey Journal (whose building appears to the left). Among other notable Journal Square landmarks are the Stanley Theater, Loew's Jersey Theater, the North Fork Bank building (on the right) and the Journal Square Transportation Center. After years of steady decline in and around Journal Square the Journal Square Restoration Corporation was formed in 1995 to work towards a business and cultural renaissance of the area.
