(A) It is not my petition. Just posting it to spread the word.

(B) Regardless of funds, there is no option to buy it, it is not going to auction. The city is selling it directly to the developer.

A petition was just launched on Change.org opposing the city selling a wooded lot to a developer who will clear out the trees and build apartments. The city lacks green space and this is being done without the land going to public auction. This same developer already cleared out all of the trees at a lot just down the street from this, and over a year and a half later, that lot just sits blighted and overgrown with weeds.

Please sign the petition if you oppose this.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on how to go about buying a vacant lot owned by the city? Its a small lot that is just going to waste.

Wow, this is great news. I got a flat yesterday and didn't want to schlep down to Grove Street to get it fixed. I will hit this place up tomorrow for sure. Thanks for posting user1111.

Generally no, only at this bank:

I guess a little more explanation... I have no local branches, my bank is all ATM, app, and mail based. They reimburse all ATM fees, but if you need a hundo, there is no teller to walk up to. I sometimes prefer one for a birthday card or the like, so I was just curious if anyone knows of one in the area. Chase has them, but the ones I have tried of theirs in JC just gave 20's.

Anybody know any ATM's in JC that dish out $100's? All the ones I go to seem to only give $20's.

Pershing Field Pool in the Heights

+1 on Aladdin
I have had several things rewired there and Mark always does quality work at a great price.

Yes, which represents "Prince & I"

I believe it is called Prince & I. Prince is the owner's son. Nice family run joint.

Carvao BBQ is finally open. Its only a soft opening right now.
Menu looks good. Eating there tonight!

+2 for Rob Irwin. He is incredibly dedicated and charges a very reasonable flat fee.

I was told by one of the adjacent businesses that it is going to become a beer garden. Yes, another one.

How has this guy still not been caught? I thought for sure that this would be solved within days of the pics being publicized. Perhaps that yuppie/hipster outfit was just an incredible disguise.

I was just looking this up the other day because the space has looked finished and ready to go for months. According to their Facebook post from 3 weeks ago, its the same-ol' same-ol' JC thing with them having to jump through hoops to satisfy the various entities in the city gov.

From their FB page:

"Good day to all Carvao BBQ supporters, friends and family! We wanted to provide you with a status update on where we are with the opening. As some of you might already know, we are going through tough business of satisfying each and every request of the City and governing bodies. Despite all of these difficulties, we want to let you know that we are going strong and Carvao BBQ will finally open it's doors very soon to serve the neighborhood and all of Jersey City. Again, thank you very much, we appreciate and value all of you support and patience on this journey. Love, Carvao BBQ."

PULASKI SKYWAY ALERT

There will be a full closure of the Pulaski Skyway from Friday, July 17th at 11PM until Saturday, July 18th at 9PM.

I'll throw in a positive vote. I used them for my kitchen counters. They did a great job, measured it perfectly, had a great price, and their service and staff were great. I had originally gone with someone else and they were taking forever to come out and measure. Chen Depot handled the job for less money and got it done very quickly. I am glad I went with them. Counters still look great.

Yes, it is likely a private company like TLO (http://www.tlo.com/vehicle-sightings.php)

They collect the data and sell it to anyone looking to locate vehicles and the people associated with them, like repo companies, bill collectors, lawyers, PI's and bounty hunters. Anyone can access it if they pay, which is scary.

Where were the non-licensed drivers in your house that night? Do you have teenagers?

Don't just use a boilerplate lease. Think through any specific conditions you want to ensure (use of yard, parking, etc) and be sure to include in the lease.

Be sure to take pictures of the unit before the tenants move in to document the "before" in case there is damage done.

Keep records and receipts of all expenses for tax purposes.

Can you elaborate? We are currently considering him among a few other contractors for facade work on our home. He seems to have rave reviews from everyone else.

Another source of info on what is going on there:

There are several tile places in JC on 1&9 / Tonnelle Ave north of Tonnelle Circle. I've used Chen Depot and they are very friendly and helpful and their prices were good.

It was found wrapped in a Dallas Cowboys jersey.

This clearly points to Christie being involved #AKGate

Shame to see this:
Bittersweet memories as family prepares to close 96-year-old chocolate business with final sale

The only other one I can think of is 15 Fox Place

Hands down Edwards, esp. for a business dinner. Great steak and a great atmosphere.

I blame Fulop. What has his administration done to assure the safety and security of our pumpkins? Pumpkingate will be his administration's undoing. There goes the road to governor. < /sarcasm >

Its just some kids. It happens. Laugh it off and move on.

I've heard rumors that Mana Comtemporary has been quietly pushing for the Marion Ave PATH station. This would obviously benefit them tremendously because it would stop right at their front door rather than people having to walk 10 mins from JSQ. I have also heard they are willing to assist in funding it partly. Its probably just a bad rumor and probably not going to happen regardless.
