The Barge is a pleasant stop any given afternoon, and they make great pasta fagioli.

That's not at all what I was talking about. Have you ever parked in the JSQ lot? Even so, Hoboken has a couple of municipal lots that allow people to get off the streets and curbs . Some of the large apartment buildings down by the water have great parking complexes attached to the living areas at very reasonable fees. These efforts help to make the "miracle mile" habitable. Jersey City needs to do the same before the situation becomes intolerable. Even North Bergen has some great arrangements which keep cars off the streets. Why is Jersey City dragging its feet on such a serious situation?

I can't understand why--with the tax revenue that surely should be pouring in--the city can't build a number of centrally located low cost or no cost parking desks for residents.
Population increase looks to be a situation which will continue as long as NYC rates stay high and developers continue their building spree. A facility that can hold as many cars as the JSQ lot behind the Loew's would give so much relief to an area. Just imagine what five of them might do to help with parking difficulties.

My point exactly Monroe. The city is doing a favor to special interests--everybody gets greased--and the people wind up pointing at one another as the problem. Not too long ago there was ample parking on the street, but obviously that had to go when thousands of new living units came into being. That's major irresponsibility on the part of planning boards and overall administration. Free municipal parking decks for residents should be provided by developers. But for heaven's sake, don't blame your neighbor and try to assign extra costs to their budgets.

Here we go again. The municipality allows wealthy corporate interests to disrupt the lives of ordinary people and other people step up to offer solutions that will infringe on rights that they had (free, available parking) prior to these disruptions. Why should people offer costly solutions to problems that the administration creates?--doesn't make sense.

Years ago statues of the Virgin Mary were made with Her crushing a serpent at Her feet. Could be some misguided symbolism at work at Holy Rosary.

I think that it's somewhat tragic to see people arguing among themselves --even to the point of endorsing taxes and fees for driving certain vehicles--when the fault lays with the administration allowing haphazard development of the city. The attack on infrastructure simply does not allow quality of life under the stressful building program Jersey City is permitting.
It will surely worsen, judging by recent new acquisitions below the Square area (Puccini's) and developments up in the West Side and elsewhere. Jersey City is the belly for the ravenous appetite of New York City. A gigantic bellyache and worse is on the horizon.

I think that with the declining influence and biased focus in too many matters media wise that the only expunging that we should be witnessing is an that of an editorial opinion. What matters what they feel?

I think that the safety of the occupants plays large in vehicle choice.
I always scoffed at SUVs in the past. However, looking at the number of accidents (mostly rear enders) occurring in increasing numbers I picked up a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer for a little over 3k and my wife and I have never been more comfortable or felt more safe amid the chaos on the roads daily.

Waaaayyyy back in the day, when more people owned the residences that they lived in it was pretty commonplace to see people sweeping the sidewalk and street in front of their homes. Anyone see any of that lately?

I remember years ago when there was an attempt at cleaning up West Side Avenue in between Duncan and Lincoln Park. Canopies went up in front of the businesses and it looked nice for a while, but there was no follow up.
I went to school up there in the sixties and you couldn't have asked for nicer neighborhoods and great neighborhood businesses. But when a generational shift and flights of families to the suburbs occurred, the area went into a downward spiral from which it hasn't recovered. In time it'll fall into the kind of creeping decay that embraced Monticello, Jackson and Ocean Avenues and the developers and hi rise moguls will filter in and add the finishing touches to a once beautiful part of Jersey City.

Bursting at the seams last night--parties and a great time with wonderful food.
Not to mention the free parking lot. We had a family group of twelve and were treated and feted in a caring family style.

How is it that the number of views on a forum topic can be so enormous while comments are so minute in number?
