Something doesn't add up.
Even a car going 100MPH is still going parallel to the railing and there's no way there would be enough force generated to punch through.

Thanks for proving my point. Animal Control can take your dog. Animal Control won't be writing you any tickets for that noise, though. (third time I'm typing it). If you want specifics on NJCACOA, here's the website: http://www.njcacoa.org/aco_authority.htm For the third time: Animal Control will not issue noise complaint citations, summons, tickets or fines because Animal Control Officers are not trained in domestic disputes, which is exactly what noise complaints are, whether it be a party, a stereo, a dog, etc.

Wrong. A noise violation is handled by the local police. Animal Control does not enforce local ordinances unless it pertains to unlicensed animals (which is something the original poster mentioned that has absolutely nothing to do with his noise problem). A rabid animal is handled by animal control. A barking dog is handled by the police. A loose zebra is handled by animal control. A loud stereo is handled by the police. A dog that bites is handled by animal control. A party in your neighbor's backyard at 3am is handled by the police. Get the pattern here? A police officer will often escort an animal control officer on a call, but an animal control officer does not have to respond to a a noise complaint -- even if that noise is generated by an animal.

Are you complaining about a barking dog or an unlicensed dog? A dog with a licence doesn't bark less than an unlicensed dog. What is the relation between the two that you're trying to point out? I'm confused. A noise complaint is handled by the police. A malnourished animal is handled by Animal Control. Neither are likely to bust down your neighbor's door while they're on vacation because the dog is barking.

Re: Pulaski Skyway to close for 2 years after Super Bowl: |

The Pulaski Skyway is one of the worst bridges in the United States -- and it has been that way since the day it opened.
First, it was built to get truck traffic off the city streets (the route that resembles today's 1&9 Truck). However, the United States Navy forced the engineers to increase the clearance over the Passaic and Hackensack rivers at the last minute, creating a very steep incline leading up to the two bridges that has prohibited truck traffic from using the bridge from day #1. Second, it was designed in the early 30s, before anyone knew anything about highways and ramps were placed on the left, creating one of the most dangerous driving situations in New Jersey. Third, its truss system closely resembles that of the failed bridge that killed a dozen people and injured another 200 in Minneapolis. Driving the Skyway is like playing a game of russian roulette. Remember that the next time you drive across. ================================= Edit: If a auto-bridge connecting Liberty State Park to Jersey Ave is completed before this project, imagine the clusterfuck at exit 14B and into Downtown JC.

It's open. Check it out.
Staff is really friendly. Crepes are all $6.99 and are enough for two to split for dessert. Crepes come with a scoop of ice cream, which is fine in the winter because the crepes are warm. Crepes are made right in front of you. Served in a metal to-go tin, which is fine, but if you're eating in it would be nice to have a plate. They're all dessert crepes, which is my only complaint. Some veggies, eggs, cheese .. would all keep me coming back for more than a sugar fix.

A 96 year old guy, I can understand. The elderly are easy prey. But anyone else has no excuse.
Why would anyone take goods or services from a random person -- in a parking lot of all places. I remember being asked to buy a set of speakers by some guys out of a white van in Linden, even though that is one of the oldest tricks in the book. I told the guys to go #OOPS# themselves.

Can anyone look at that website and tell me that there's any indication whatsoever that this museum is closed? Since you asked: 1.) There's nothing listed under "Current Exhibitions" 2.) Absolutely nothing listed under the Events Calendar. 3.) All exhibitions displayed on the main page's rotating banner are for the Fall of 2010. These are all clear indications to me that something is amiss! Quote: all it says is that the museum is open on Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. Actually, it says: "Galleries open by appointment for academic research. Please email info@jerseycitymuseum.org to inquire. " The site gives you an e-mail address and clearly states visits are for research purposes. I guess there's a difference between what you've read and what you think you've read.

Along a similar line:
Shoprite on 12/5 was running on a generator to power their registers. The rest of the store was in the dark -- people were walking around shopping with flashlights. There was no music, the lights were out and the air was very stagnant. It was odd. Moral of the story: don't buy anything for the next couple days from Shoprite that needs to be refrigerated.

Liberty State Park is a New Jersey State Park. That's their official website and it will contain any official information about a reopening. There are a series of pictures demonstrating the damage to the train terminal, the Hudson River Walkway and the various buildings in the park. The pictures demonstrate that the park -- or at least certain sections -- will be closed for quite some time.

There are select weekends when there are guided tours through the undeveloped sections of LSP. Of course, now you'll have to walk the long way to get there.
The undeveloped section is an amazing place. Nature has reclaimed a highly polluted rail yard. There are so few places in our area that have been free of human intervention for decades.

It was picked up by the surge and moved about 100 feet west of the path. There are pictures floating around -- it has not been fixed. The bridge is likely destroyed.

Add Tommy 2 Scoops to the list of places hit hard -- they suffered a lot of damage last year, too. They just added that addition on the back and it's probably going to have to be redone.
Didn't Taqueria threaten to close up and move to Brooklyn? Wonder if this flood is the final straw for them.

So let's get this straight,
You want to get furious and write letters each time you see you're overcharged on the LED EZPass display rather than getting angry once when your statement arrives? By the way, you can get a (paper) receipt ... there's a lane labeled just that at most exchanges. There's also a cash lane if you feel the EZPass system is "not interested in fair business practice" ... You'd be very surprised to learn just how little you really are entitled to.
