I, for one. support LHS. It is an underfunded non profit. When I had to go into the hospital for three weeks they took my cats; no questions asked. They even gave them free shots. For that, I give them what I can.
The staff is very attentive to the animals' needs. Please keep in mind that they are a non-profit agency. I got my cat Alice from the JC SPCA. I am so happy she didn't suffer cruelty at the hands of the JC SPCA staff. That said, I really think LHS should be given a shot at animal control. I think they'd do wonders if they are given city funds. Edit: if not LHS then who else? The JC SPCA was a travesty. LHS could do such a better job if given the proper funding!

Make that past tense as far as private industry. They rode the auto industry into the ground with elaborate contracts. Anytime a labor negotiator says one of his goals is to "protect jobs" you can sell that industry short. UAW crushed the Saturn experiment as heresy, and got the cooperation of the calcified GM management in doing it. The big question is why do we tolerate in government what has not worked out in industry? These "workers" game the contract cycle to get the city administrations to do whatever they want in exchange for electoral support.

OK, this is great and nice and all as I am against the games that have been played at our expense while council member sons get off of drug dealing charges, and the law gets bent for other members. Their lame ducks or getting sweetheart deals that line their and their friends pockets instead of adding benefit to the city coffers. But I ask, what is something unified that will mean SOMETHING at this meeting? Havent we been here before right before the elections? we all knew it and yet they are all up their again. So what will the actual message be? Can we affect their vote? Will they call the fire marshal like they threatened last time?

We got our cat from there. was she in the best of health when we got her? no. was the experience the best it could have been? no. but she was an older cat that apparently they held her for several months before we got her. And she is a great pet, doesnt scratch things up, always goes in the litter box, and doesnt get up on the counters (that we have ever seen) I dont know How LHS would handle the job overall, but it is obvious they really try. We appreciate their services so far to date.

I go to Dr Jorden Alter (sorry, he is actually in Bayonne),, but i know a few JC residents that go to him. Late hours, think until 8pm on some night. Sundays as well. Great staff, friendly and personable. Works great with his hands and always checks on you to ensure you are okay.

As of now, Liberty State Park is not part of the East Coast Greenway trail system. What would be lost by at least presenting it as an option. Either choice (going up the west side of Manhattan or going through LSP) is much, much nicer than the Newark option.

Komegashi on Montgomery. Ask for the off-menu Mountain roll. It's delicious.

Of course, the actual incident is not funny, but the comment thread sort of went out of hand and was amusing to read. It actually made JC List look pretty civil, which is what I found hilarious.

The only problem with that idea is that many will then opt to take the free Staten Island Ferry into Manhattan bypassing the Bayonne Bridge and Jersey City all together.
I know that I would likely do just that - and then head up the Manhattan bike route along the Hudson River -- then exit over the George Washington Bridge to Fort Lee. The only thing I can think of that might make Liberty State Park the bigger draw would be to either offer riders access to bike through the Holland Tunnel in one of the lanes at certain off hours -- or somehow offer a one way free ferry ride with bike if they have some kind of Liberty State Park coupon that they got with their maps (or some such nonsense) But no -- I think riding through Newark is crazy -- when you could be along the New York Bay.

There is nothing hilarious about two dogs being killed one of which was abused and provoked prior to being shot. What are you thinking?

That would be a great solution - and you could eventually utilize the riverwalk all the way down to the Bayonne Bridge. If, of course, the Bayonne Bridge is still standing. I'm sure the national security-niks would come up with some sort of issue with cyclists traversing the Bayonne Bridge and Outerbridge crossing.

Why not Bayonne to Staten Island to Perth Amboy? No need to go to Newark for a North-South route.

I tried Sushi Tango once and didn't like it. Same with JC Sakura. Honshu is by far the best, in my opinion. Komegashi is also decent. The one on Montgomery is better and cheaper than the Newport one, but both are decent. A new Japanese place is opening in 50 Columbus, but it looks to be more American-style. It would be nice to get a Japanese owned Japanese restaurant in Jersey City.

I worked at the Javits Center as a carpenter back in the day, and this is very true. I was at a booth where an exhibitor needed to plug some lighting in. We told him we couldn't do it, since we were not electricians, and it made me feel real stupid. He looked at us like we were kidding and proceeded to plug it in himself. A group of angry electricians popped up like hornets within seconds. They actually wound up firing everyone at the Javits Center and made them reapply to weed out those who had criminal backgrounds. Being a carpenter was the only time in my working life that I was ever told to slow down because I was working too fast.

+10. the few guys i know in unions laugh at me (and the rest of us). mandatory 15 minute breaks every hour. work days that are basically half days to the rest of us.
i remember years ago working at javits center, and you were not allowed to put in a plug to turn on a light in your booth. you had to get on the list to have a union guy come and do it for you. every time, you'd wait for 5 hours, go back to try and find someone, and all the union dudes would be back there drinking and hanging out... useless!

If there are developers that will move on developing that area in a high enough density to create revenues higher than the PILOT payments from the proposed project...then i agree with you. If not, the PILOT payments to the city would be better for JC than the little to no money it currently receives from the land (assuming JC isn’t receiving a lot of money from an empty lot). This is an area where I have not seen a lot of new development, maybe an area that abatements could possibly help generate more revenue for the city?
