A neighbor ended up with a fractured skull on Friday night after being struck by a car which ran the Stop-sign by the Hamilton Inn. Neighbor was on his bike returning from Hoboken. Witnesses said that the two women who emerged from the offending car took time to light up their cigarettes before approaching their victim. I hope he sues them silly.

Horrible story, what is the exact intersection and where are the stop signs situated ? What direction was the cyclist traveling ? Is there anyway we can get an update on the cyclist, and does the cyclist normaly use the bike as the primary mode of transportation ?

10th and Jersey. I believe he was moving southbound on Jersey as he was coming from Hoboken. Stop-signs are on the 10th Street East/Westbound corners. Witnesses from Hamilton Inn say the woman ran the Stop-sign. He is doing as good as can be expected. Temporal fracture with hearing defecit for now. He is expected to recover well although he cannot drive for 3 weeks and that's his livelihood. He is not a bike nut but he bikes more than most.

Well thank you for the reply. I bike myself so this story comes close to home for me. At least the driver of the vehicle didn't leave the scene. With the stop sign regulating the flow of traffic it surely shows that the driver of the car is clearly at fault. Even though there is no question of who has the right of way a sign can only do so much. Please send the cyclist my regards, I hope he makes a full recovery.

You can get your fix of arugula and other assorted and marked-up organics at Hudson Greene and Liberty Towers and several of the small grocers in the downtown area, as well as the new co-op in Hamilton Park.

This is whole foods requirements for a site to be considered (cut and paste from whole food website)

?200,000 people or more in a 20-minute drive time
?25,000-50,000 Square Feet
?Large number of college-educated residents
?Abundant parking available for our exclusive use
?Stand alone preferred, would consider complementary
?Easy access from roadways, lighted intersection
?Excellent visibility, directly off of the street
?Must be located in a high traffic area (foot and/or vehicle)

I can't personally think of a location that would fit all of these requirements. All the places that have plenty of parking in downtown aren't in high traffic areas and any places that do have high traffic don't have a lot of parking.

If you know of a site that might be of interest to Whole Foods you can find the person to contact by following the below link and finding the person responsible for New Jersey

Galaga, Joust or Street Fighter anyone?

They have Galaga and Joust at the Brooklyn one, so I'm going to assume yes. Not Street Fighter though, that's 16-bit.

I'm looking forward to Spy Hunter and Donkey Kong.

actually street fighter arcade came out in 1987, therefore it falls under barcade's requirements "we will have 33 games, all from the 1970′s and 1980′s only." second time you made me be a nerd in this thread!

Mike Tyson goes
another round, with
homing pigeons


Updated 3/3/2011 3:41:04 PM |

By Gary Levin, USA TODAY

JERSEY CITY ? Former boxing champ Mike
Tyson calls the Ringside Lounge a home of
sorts.

The boxing-themed bar, in a rough stretch
of this industrial town across the river from
Manhattan, sits next to a gym where he'd
trained with pal and owner Mario Costa. Out
back, through a narrow alley, is Tyson's
Corner, a pungent coop with hundreds of
pigeons ? fancy roller pigeons, to be breed-
exact.

You're right, of course. A sign costs basically nothing and not everyone driving in NYC was born there. Funny though - I've always thought of "bridge and tunnel" as outer boroughs as much as NJ - and the other boroughs are part of NYC... which means no right on red. I know, I'm being too literal.

Walking home this evening up Erie St as I crossed 4th street, a car approached. I was already in the crosswalk. This b***h in her car literally started to swerve to go around me to go through the intersection. She didn't even attempt to stop as she is supposed to. I pointed to the STOP sign. And then she starts to yell at me from inside her car. As if she even has an argument. WTF does it take to get a drivers license in NJ? DO they dispense them from gum-ball machines for a quarter?! Are STOP signs in JC literally just for decoration?!!!
