Shopping Carts Infest Downtown
By admin on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 at 8:09 am
Shopping carts from discount retailer BJ’s Wholesale Club have begun littering downtown Jersey City. Its not just bag ladies either; the carts are rumored to have appeared in the hallways of new luxury apartment towers.
So far, neither BJ’s nor the city have done much in the way of cracking down on the abandoned carts. One solution the city could implement is simply fining BJ’s Wholesale Club for every cart found around the city. The retailer would probably quickly figure out a way to keep their carts on their lot.
A BJ’s cart is tucked beside a motorcycle on Wayne Street
Outside of Grove Pointe, a cart lurks filled with plastic bags
Columbus Drive
Columbus Drive and Marin Blvd
UPDATE
Found another one in the Italian Village, First Street.
UPDATE 2
Newark Avenue Parking Lot
Second Street. This is the nearest to BJ’s of any of the carts, at just two blocks away. Also, someone was brown-bagging it and left their bottle in the cart.
