It was night and day from the customers to the staff. The one in Honolulu was in the downtown area, however I prefer them to stay in strip malls and not on Main street.

Just because you say you haven't seen any doesn't mean a thing. They were at the parade. I have an asshole neighbor who says he never sees a police car as one drives by. But then again this is a jerk who says he never sees plains clothes officers on the street. Duh.

Well that name Heights Brat suits you well, no I haven't seen them because they are not at the same numbers as in the 1990s. Thank God, you are not my neighbor.

Wait, what? When did we get rid of the bike police?

Years ago, Mariano Vega had an accident with a county car. It happened in upstate NY. It never made the local papers. The county just replaced the car.

Did Mariano have to pay for the damages? Did insurance cover at least some of it?

Presumably, if he was in upstate New York, he wasn't on official business.

That's part of it - but double-dipping was one of the main drums Fulop beat for eight years in mastering his "reformer" pose. How can he possibly justify this without looking like an ass?

Collecting a pension and taking a job are not the same thing.

Isn't the problem that the job wasn't advertised to make sure the best candidate gets the job, rather than someone politically connected?

Double-dipping complaints miss the point. The County appears to have bought itself a seat on the City council. That's the real conflict of interest here.

The difference is - Fulop rallied against this, it is the reason many people voted for him.

As for Coleman, I can't see an excuse here. Wait till your term is up if you want a county job.

Let us return to the subject of parking. The classic turn around for business is the Medical Center downtown. When the hospital was on Montgomery St, it had limited parking. Its new location has a tremendous parking lot even though it is across the street from the lite rail. The Medical Center is competing for customers across Hudson, Bergen, and Essex Counties. It could not survive without its parking lot. If this was a Aesop fairy tale, the moral of the story is, provide parking for your customers or they will go elsewhere.

The nice Milburn couple can add $10 to their night out and use the freaking deck that is open to the public, right next to the main business district, and never ever full.

Why is this even a discussion. We have decks. They are open to the public and they are half used. So the solution is to build more decks? How does that make sense?

These decks you talk about are not close enough for people to use. It is difficult to get around in the snow/ice, plus slush. Now you expect people to walk blocks in this weather to go an event. Another night of snow is expected to come which will hide the ice and uneven sidewalk.

So your solution to a snowy/icy day is more people, especially seniors, driving cars and getting into accidents? Un-freaking-believable! My parents are getting up there in years, but they can still manage to walk several blocks. What they don't like as they get older is driving - too stressful, especially as their reflexes slow. Their auto insurance rates went up once they hit 75, because the elderly do get into more accidents. What I'm noticing in my building is more seniors moving in. The kids have moved out, they don't want to deal with maintaining a home, and they don't want to drive everywhere.

It would be nice if Jersey City would remove the ice and snow at the crosswalk. I don't buy the argument that 75 years old can manage the ice and snow. You cannot see the sidewalk. Many seniors drive safely, those in poor health should not. Years ago, a heart doctor in JC told me when the seniors fell on the ice and snow, the hospital ran all types of tests not related to the fall to earn more money. Well, the hospitals must be doing a booming business now. This is not NYC. Yes, I give Manhattan credit for removing snow and the sidewalks are shoveled. But to say, people can walk perhaps 10 blocks on ice and snow to get to a particular destination is a joke. They must also walk back.

I attended the late Anthony Cucci's funeral today, after he was laid to rest, it was announced the repast would be a Chandeliers in Bayonne because there is plenty of parking. Several years ago, Anthony Cucci has his sister's repast at Puccini, now that is closed. It is rather sad that a city our size cannot accommodate something like this due to parking.

Parking garages also saves lives, many doctors tell 60 plus year old individuals, not to shovel snow. How many individuals must shovel their cars after a storm? Snow shoveling is a killer according to many doctors. Even if you move to a condo and are not responsible for sidewalks, you still must shovel your car.

You are hilarious. But until you show me some numbers to back this up, I'm just going to laugh at you. I'm pretty sure people are more likely to die in car accidents after shoveling, rather than the act of just shoveling their car out. Do you know if shoveling your walkway is less or more deadly than shoveling your car?? LOL

Just substitute driveway for cars parked on streets or speak to any physician on this subject.

Fulop headlining Sussex Democrats’ ‘winter gala’

New Jersey Herald

Feb 28, 2015 11:14 PM EST

[!IFRAME FILTERED! ] By ROB JENNINGS

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, widely seen as a possible Democratic candidate for governor in 2017, will be making a visit to Sussex County.

Fulop is the star attraction at the Sussex County Democratic Committee's “winter gala” on March 7. The $75-per-ticket event will be held at the Farmstead Golf and Country Club in Andover Township.

Fulop, 38, is in his second year as mayor. He is the latest in a long line of Democrats with presumed statewide ambitions to take an interest in Sussex County despite Republicans having more than a 2-to-1 edge in voter registration.

I've walked by Olive and Orange Caterers on Central Avenue recently and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. I remember when they opened and they were serving dinner party style meals (very expensive), and the place looked beautiful. Now the windows are covered with frosted plastic and it looks kind of junky and uninhabited. Are they closed? Are they just operating as a catering kitchen now? Did they get tired of people looking in the windows?
