Bright lights, big city. No, this is not Chicago or Los Angeles. This is Jersey City, the second largest city in New Jersey. You haven't seen Jersey like this. The twinkle of the string lights downtown, the pop of green growth between the rounded stones of the cobblestone streets, the neon that lights food trucks and pharmacies are just some of the sites of the eclectic city that is Jersey City. Join author and photographer, Alex Gulino, as she photographs "Chilltown" in attempt to capture the essence of the historical yet bustling city. As new skyscrapers are erected, is there still room in this urban landscape for homes that are nearly 300 years old? Can its booming art scene make Jersey City the new Brooklyn? As the past meets the present, come see the people and the visuals of Chilltown and the vibrancy that is the incomparable Jersey City.
