I still miss the bodega around the corner from there next to the former subway and across from the former Hard Grove.

Oh I totally missed this, I’ve been in JC off and on since 2004 and moved around a bit. When I lived on Mercer (2004-2009) I used to visit that bodega almost daily. I can’t remember when it closed but it was still there when I moved back in 2016.
