I'm sure there are over 100 sculptures and different art pieces in the tight 4 x 6 city block area. I looked deeper into what this was all about, did a little bit of "Google" research and found that the Downtown Development Authority was behind all of this. 'Begun in 1984 and sponsored by the Downtown Development Authority, Art on the Corner was one of the first sidewalk sculpture exhibits in the country. It includes both temporary and permanent pieces in many different styles and media, from abstract stone pieces to realistic bronze renditions. In 2010 Knit on the Corner & Poetry in the Streets was added to the program.' referenced by www.downtowngj.org/aotc.cfm 27 years later, I think the movement has been very successful. The artwork I'm sure has brought visitors from all around the world to see these unique pieces and installations. I am going to take it upon myself to see each and every piece and learn more about this project. I hope you can to.

They have everything from fancy prom dresses to wacky polyester pantsuits. Their vibe is extra-funky because they are also an art gallery. In addition to buying quite a few outfits here for my girls over the years, I bought a great-piece of one-of-a-kind pottery. And the owner, named Caole (I don't know if I'm spelling that right. It's pronounced Kale) is just wonderful. Even after not going in there for months at a time, the second we walk in the door she greets us by name and asks about other friends who often go shopping there with us.
