Hi JCList, I'm looking for some advice about finding an apartment in Paulus Hook.

I've been obsessively watching craigslist and the few apartments in the neighborhood that aren't high rises seem to fly really quickly. I'd like to hear any success stories or recommendations for getting a good place (between $1500 and $2300, if it's relevant) in the neighborhood, and doing it without a realtor!

Thanks for your help.

Steve,

At the last HPHA meeting, the Summer 2008 Street Paving list was made available. I am happy to see that Grand, between Jersey and Marin will finally get paved. I do, though, wonder why Christopher Columbus is not on the list.

Columbus was touted by the city as the main artery to get traffic from the Turnpike to the waterfront. It is in such bad shape, however, that I think that people likely avoid it as much as possible. I know when we exit the turn pike, we get off of Columbus as soon as possible simply due to the condition of the roadway.

If people are indeed avoiding Columbus, that means they are driving on the smaller surface roads and into the residential neighborhoods. I cannot believe that this is faster, but it sure is less stress on a vehicle.

Any chance Columbus will be done sooner than later?

I asked the head of Public Works the same question about Christopher Columbus last month and was told the holdup for repaving was due to the path train being directly below that roadway. He said they were only allowed to patch not replace the surface due to the possible consequences from vibrations from the milling machines. Makes no sense to me but that?s what he said.

Wegman's looks for wealthy suburban locations close to or on major highways with large parking areas. We are more likely to get a Trader Joe's, a company which seems much more comfortable in an urban environment. The Trader Joe's on 14th Street near Union Square is a good example of what we could possibly expect (if only we were so lucky).

more or less goodnews.. a Morton Williams (sometimes called ASSOCIATED) in NY isn't such a terrible thing, decent prepared food, wide selection, good produce. If IT'S successful, it's a good barometer for competition to come in and compete...

Rather than destroying the carts, why not take a picture of the inconsiderate wretches that steal them and post their pictures around the neighborhood.

Everyone likes to talk about how inspectors need to be bribed in this City, and I was wondering if anybody had any first-hand experience with greasing the wheels to push things through faster, or if it's just a mythology created by jaded, disaffected people who make assumptions that inefficiency = being on the take.

By reading from the posts this past week it appears that there are carts at the following locations.

- 1st and Brunswick:

- 1st and Erie:

- Coles and Columbus:
- Coles and Newark:

- Morgan and Marin (3 carts on the northeast corner).
- Jersey and 10th between 9th

- Sussex St and Washington St
- Warren and Grand
- Warren and Sussex (blue shoprite cart)

How about we take action and tackle the problem by bring them back to BJ's.

Anyone up for getting together lets say this Sunday at 10am, selecting a location listed above, if the cart is still there bring it back to BJ's. Meet at BJ's at 10:30 and bring them into the store and deliver them to the store manager.

Anyone interested?????


I can take the cart at 1st and Brunswick

The fire department is probably the most powerful organization in Jersey City so you're not going to get anywhere trying to appeal... unless you know who to bribe. It sounds like a joke, but in this city it isn't, and in most cases it's the only way to get things done.
