WNYC's The Greene Space: The Brian Lehrer Show Invites Hudson County to Weigh in On "Your Anecdotal Census" on July 13th at 10am......

In the next part of The Brian Lehrer Show’s ongoing Census coverage, the program will look at Hudson County, New Jersey in YOUR ANECDOTAL CENSUS – a county-by-county look at the stories emerging from each neighborhood in 2010.

On TUESDAY, JULY 13th, Hoboken Journal readers are invited to join Brian Lehrer for a special look at Hudson County in a special broadcast from the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space, WNYC’s street-level studio. This is a rare opportunity to talk directly to County Executive Tom DeGise, who will be answering questions taken from the in-studio audience and by phone.

Fran Moran, professor of political science at New Jersey City University, will also be on hand to talk about how demographics of Hudson County have changed over the past ten years, and how development has changed the face of New Jersey after 9/11. A growing Hispanic population, changing political ties, and a new housing market will round out the discussion of the county just across the Hudson River.

Sample questions include:

• How has the housing boom changed your community?
• How have the politics of your community changed? If power has shifted in your community, how and why?
• What's an untold story of change in your community that needs to be told?
• How is your community different today than it was 10 years ago?

These questions lead to interesting anecdotes indeed. In the Manhattan segment, a listener mentioned being able to order brown rice in Chinese restaurants in his West Harlem neighborhood – above 96th Street! For him, this was unheard of before 2001.

Brian is known for crowd-sourcing and collaborating with his listeners for the show. Hoboken Journal readers are encouraged to help develop this series by submitting their thoughts, calling in the day of the show and getting tickets to represent Hudson County in the audience! ◦
