​
- Paco
- Taco
- Frank the Tank
- Crazy Jessica
- That guy with the horn and the safety vest
- Mumbles outside Paradise Deli

No bagpipe guy? And then the other competing worse bagpipe guy?
No "The Hustler"?
No Big Hair Girls?

Wait, there are TWO bagpipe guys???
Jahooodie OP t1_j9u556n wrote
There is a fireman dude who practices around Grove Street, at reasonable hours for that sort of thing. Then there is a younger dude that wanders about, spotted downtown & the heights.
I haven't seen or heard either in awhile though

I think they're the same guy. I think he has autism and they made him an honorary fireman. So yes, Bagpiper makes the cut for being a genuine freak.
The hustler is just a piece of shit and the BHGs are professionals, so no on those two I'm afraid.

It's not the same guy, from the 2 I'm thinking of. The fireman is a short filipino (?) dude who picked it up because no one else in the house was doing it for events/funerals, other one is a younger tall white guy.

Paco and Taco are dead, so not sure about their inclusion in a list of things to see/visit for people to "understand Jersey City" but replace them with Elijah!

No, Elijah's a larper. Paco and Taco were real.
Jahooodie OP t1_j9u44x5 wrote
If they get a mural maybe, but no real way to point folks to a place to try and understand their lives specifically. Though it is an interesting concept to try and include, as the reality of our town & recent history

How about a statue of a shopping cart?

Don’t forget the Pimp

Well, I'm against his inclusion, but he seems very popular for some reason.
