Car damaged by metal from sky
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 By TOM SHORTELL JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A 20-pound piece of metal fell from the sky yesterday morning and crushed the passenger side of a rental car parked at a U.S. Postal Service mailing facility in Jersey City, authorities said. No one was injured and law enforcement officials believe the chunk of metal fell from a passing plane, according to reports. Alfred Michaels, of Mentor, Ohio, had parked his rented Pontiac at the facility at 80 County Road at 7:30 a.m., reports said. When he returned to his car at 9:45 a.m., he found the piece of metal next to the car, and the car's passenger-side pillar and window smashed, according to Jersey City police. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and U.S. Postal Service police are also investigating.

Thanks again...
I came across the JC Zoning Ordinance online, but cannot seem to pinpoint the particular ordinance.... What should I be searching for? Thank you for this priceless advice/knowledge!

Take away the guns and bats and this could be Healy vs. Fulop!

You're asking about the difference between 2nd street and Grand/Grove?
Geez, that's not exactly like moving from Bismark to Moscow. I suggest you get out sometime and walk the 10 block radius around your present home so you know what the neighborhood you live in is like.....

The correct answer is:
Attached buildings (rowhouses or their additions) are NOT allowed to have any windows, doors, vents, etc. on the lotline dividing properties and the lotline wall in-fact needs to be an approved 2-hour fire rated design. If an owner want this, they must setback from the lotline 5 feet. No one wants to obviously because you end up with a very narrow building, although I have seen it done. If your neighbors window is on the lotline, which is what it sounds like, it is illegal and as such you are permitted to build your wall right over it. Unless the house belongs to a friend of Healy, and then you're screwed.

Blackmail them to give me money to NOT put an addition on......I'll be the neighbor of the century! BRILLIANT!!!! :)

Wait, I am a graphic designer with horned rimmed glasses. Only I adopted this look back in the nineties and it never left me, does that make me a hipster? Eeehhh who cares? Either you look like a Hipster a Yuppie a Slut or a Douchebag, everyone has got a style that they fit into. Lets just get on everybody then.

I've live around the corner for 5 years now
The good: - Proximity to Grove St PATH - Proximity to Liberty St Park - Taqueria Downtown - Legal Grounds - Edward's Steakhouse - Shops and restaurants on Grove - Cocoa Bakery & Cafe on Grand to open soon - Other shops in Liberty Harbor North coming - Haven't heard any muggings or violence in that area in a year or two (last one I heard was a mugging on Grove & York about 2 yrs ago) The bad: - Noise from buses, trucks, ambulances, cop cars, and civilian cars blaring loud music - Parking - Construction The ugly: - Flooding on the corner of Grand and Grove. Big issue if you are considering a garden/basement apartment

What bugs me the most about hipsters is the faux "irony" bullshizzat. Like, the only way to be beautiful is to wear ugly clothes. The only way to be "cool" is to look like a geek. And the only way to seem edgy is to march in lockstep with the heaving right-wing bible-thumping flag-waving masses. It's so desperate. And so obvious.

In my line of work I know many graphic designers, only a handfull would fall into the hipster category. Hipsters do graphic design work "as a hobby". And I don't think hyperopia automatically makes someone a hipster.
If those horn-rimmed glasses are paired with an ironic mustache, then you have a hipster...or a child molester from the 70s who forgot to pack extra plutonium.

As much as I'm an advocate for affordable housing, I must say, luxury condos do have an upside...They keep the hipsters away.

Nothing is worse than some dude who grew up in ohio and moves to brooklyn in his mid 20s and then "Hates Jersey".
Articles like this scare me, because the last thing we all want is for people looking to move to brooklyn to settle in JC instead. Someone needs to write an article explaining that we live in JC because it's NOT brooklyn.

Unfortunately the "old boys" here make Karl Rove look like mild mannered pussy, and the nonpartisan electoral system overwhelmingly favors the incumbent. Steve might win a runoff against Healy but will have a hard time getting there past all the vote splitting of his "reform" constituency in a large field of challengers. I hope he can, but I'm a pessimist at heart. (I had nothing in the stock market)

National Polls mean very little at this point - it's all about turnout and individual state polling data. If McCain somehow manages to win he will most likely lose the electoral vote. Why do i say that, look at these polls: Montana: McCain +5 (Bush won this state by 20pts in 2004, and won it by 25 in 2000! How is this even a close race in this state?) George: McCain +6 (Bush by 16 in 2004, and by 12 in 2000) North Carolina: Obama +2 (Bush won this by 12 in 2004, and 12 in 2000) West Virginia: McCain +2 (Bush won this by 12 in 2004 and a smaller margin in 2000) Indiana: McCain +4 (Bush won by 20 points in 2004!! and by 16 in 2000, how is this state competitive?) ...and of course this years 2 bell weather states in my opinion: Colorado: Obama +5 (Bush won by 5 in 2004, and by 8 in 2000) Virginia: Obama +8 (Bush won this by 8 both years he won) This race is being fought in red states. If Obama holds the Kerry states from 2004 and wins Iowa & Virginia that's all he needs to go over 270... So getting back to my original point, red states will have closer margins than they traditionally do, Blue states will be blowouts and the toss ups will be pretty damn close. All told though, it's hard to see a scenario where obama loses the popular vote. Come on, if Montana & Indiana are this close, that tells you something.

Could Fulop be the new Obama of Jersey City and rid the 'old boy' network ?
He seems to walk the walk and talk the talk, and I hope if he is elected Mayor he will look after my neighborhood as he has for the waterfront and e-district.

Well, I finally received my January 2008 NJN Guide. It showed up in my mailbox today. I wonder where it's been for ten months.
Also, there is a piece of mail in the mailroom for someone who lives on Monmouth St. I live a mile away.

Have you considered asking the neighbors how much the LACK of an addition may be worth to them? There are different ways to make a property an investment.
