Is this the "dog-walker" who usually around the HC/HP neighborhood walking 4 or 5 husky looking dogs? He has anger issues!

I walk by the park everyday and I have seen Workers there out and about but I'm seeing absolutely no progress at all. It's been over 5 weeks. What's going on? What's taking soooooooo long? Personally I am not seeing my tax dollars at work...

They tore up the sidewalk on the West Hamilton side to install the new drainage system. They finished that part and have repaved the sidewalks. That has taken about 3 weeks. It is frustrating that the work is focused on one thing at a time and the slightest bit of rain seems to halt all work. Hopefully the aesthetic work will be quicker once the new infrastructure is in place.

el aguila dorada in bayonne was mentioned earlier in the thread. and also, while more pricey, i prefer charritos in the heights (it's more of a sit down restaurant rather than quick taco fix though).

Ferris High school students were involved? What a shocker!

Can we get them to keep these kids in school during lunch time?

Oh gawd. Whatever!
(I lurv the madlibs thing. It's perfect).
I like the heights, I've been here a few years and stayed weekends here often even before that. My husband has lived here since 1992 or so. We're located right near Christ Hospital and I walk home from the Journal Square path station at all hours of the night and I've never had a problem. I run 8-10 miles almost every day, often as late as 11:00 pm either down Webster and into Union City/ Weehawken, down Baldwin and into Lincoln park via Vroom/JFK or down Newark and into Liberty State via Jersey Ave.

I've never felt unsafe here. We've never been broken into (knock on wood) and I've never been hassled. Occasionally teenagers will run up alongside me if they are egged on by their friends, but it's always done in jest and I end up trading jokes and barbs with them as they kick my old slow ass for a few blocks.

I do see some shady behavior here sometimes, possibly gang related, but it's contained and has never caused me to curtail my outside activities. Any bad apples are far outnumbered by the amount families I see walking around day and night. The heights has very much of a neighborhood feel. I don't see many yuppies, and even fewer hipsters (like, none) but I like that it's not "cool" or "hip" to live here. It's very real, working class, and as far as the rents staying low, well, good. It means the wonderful diversity (ethnic but also economic) and definite funk factor won't be leaving the heights any time soon.

I've spent more than half my life living in places where I wouldn't venture out the door past midnight by myself without extreme caution and some amount of foreboding. JC Heights has *not* been one of those places.

We need a second tunnel for pedestrians, bikes, mopeds, disabled motorized carts and motorbikes no greater then 125cc. It could also incorporate some sort of electric light-weight open roof train. (3 seats wide with 10 rows in length or something like that)

I'd like to also thank the volunteers for helping the kitties. I'm glad that the cats will be neutered/spayed.

I will be making it out to the shelter Tuesday to see if my poor cat is there.

Thank you to EVERYONE and especially YOU who went to the park at 2am calling Daisy, the push and strength you gave behind Animal Control was incredable and I don't believe I would have Daisy back if it wasn't for YOU!!!!!

She lost a little weight around the ribs, stinks to high heaven of Mackrel, its purring more than ever and asleep in the place she belongs - at the foot of my bed!!!

A happy ending! Please understand that its not over for me. What happend is an outrage and needs not be swept under the rug. I am taking measures to ensure that ACO will be treated as the law says appropriate and Animals lost can find saftey at a shelter EVERYTIME!!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you 1000 times!!!!
