There are three kinds of people in Jersey City:
1. CRIMINALS (the vast majority, most of them involved with the drug trade), who are in no way hindered by the completely useless police force. If you observe crime, and you will unless you never look out the window, and call the police, dispatchers will interrogate you with great hostility and suspicion. If the police bother to come at all, they will drive by and not bother to get out of the car. 2. HAPLESS RENTERS who have had crimes committed against them or have observed crime and who understand the nature of Jersey City. This is my category. I was assaulted by one of my \"neighbors,\" who wasn\'t even arrested. 3. LYING APARTMENT AND BROWNSTONE OWNERS who are trying to maintain or pump up the value of their property. They talk about how nothing is different here than in any other big city, and accuse category #2 of being prejudiced opponents of the multicultural. They are the majority on this list, and never miss a chance to claim that Jersey City is just swell, and that people who post about the awful reality of life here are heinous racists. IN CONCLUSION: I hate seeing hopeful innocents looking for affordable rent being led to this horrible place. I wish someone had warned me before I came here, and then couldn\'t afford to leave before my lease ran out. I assume you\'ve already done the obvious and considered Brooklyn and Queens. Get a roommate, or consider Westchester (being careful about parts of Yonkers and Mount Vernon), which seems to be weirdly off the radar of young people working in Manhattan. But do not listen to members of the Association of Lying Property Owners who ceaselessly try to lure you here. Good luck, and keep looking elsewhere. Jersey City is your worst possible choice for a place to live within commuting distance of Manhattan.

Fire damaging two apts. may be due to electrical problems
Monday, February 15, 2010 An electrical problem is being eyed as the cause of a one-alarm fire that damaged two Jersey City apartments late Friday afternoon, fire officials said. The Jersey City Fire Department was called to a fire at a two-story wood frame house at 241 Randolph Ave., at 5:42 p.m. Friday, Fire Director Armando Roman said. Arriving just four minutes later, the department declared the fire under control at 5:55 p.m., he said. Roman said the fire appeared to be caused by an "electrical" problem in the ceiling in the living room at the front of a ground floor apartment. The fire caused moderate damage to that room and moderate smoke damage to the second floor apartment above, officials said. There were no injuries reported and no one was displaced, he said.

Before moving to JC 2 1/2 years ago, we lived in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn which is also sandwiched between Manhattan (although it's easier to get to Manhattan since multiple subway lines service the area, not just PATH, not to mention it's part of NYC so you can take a quick, cheap cab ride home if it get's late) and a mall (Atlantic Center has a Pathmark, Target, and a collection of chain retail stores like Old Navy, PC Richards, Victoria's Secret, Marshall's, Bath & Body Works, Children's Place, etc.). Fort Greene easily supports a wide variety of restaurants, bars, boutique stores, BAM, and even the Brooklyn Flea. So I don't think it's just geography that makes or breaks a neighborhood's businesses. I love JC and see a lot of potential for it to develop and grow its downtown into something much more vibrant. Whether you want JC to move in that direction is another story (it may well be that this kind of change is associated with other changes like higher rents and prices), but I don't think it's true that it simply can't happen here.

Jersey City resident, caught in Haiti when the earthquake hit, tried to help: "People are dying every day."
Monday, February 15, 2010 By AMY SARA CLARK JOURNAL STAFF WRITER When the earthquake in Haiti hit, Stanley Gerve grabbed onto the pickup truck parked in the courtyard of his family's home, and held on as if his life depended on it. "It you didn't grab anything you were going to fall down," he said during an interview at The Jersey Journal. "When you're on a boat and the waves are angry - that's exactly what it felt like." The 36-year-old truck driver, who grew up in Haiti and now lives in Jersey City Heights, had come to Port-au-Prince with his 66-year-old father, Urbain Gerve, on Dec. 29 to spend a few weeks with his brother and sister. When the earth began to shake, Gerve was playing dominos with his father and some friends. After the shaking stopped, Gerve took stock. The family home was badly damaged, but everyone in the group was OK except 17-year-old Valerie, a family friend with heart problems, who was having trouble breathing. He and his brother grabbed a jeep to find help for Valerie. The road was covered with injured people. He took five more people into the jeep and drove to a clinic. "There was a huge crowd. Everybody was on the ground (outside) and there was nothing they could do. So many people and not enough medicine," Gerve said. They tried two other hospitals, but the situation was the same. Gerve's brother finally got some inhalers for Valerie and brought her back to the family courtyard, where she recovered. The second hospital was the least crowded, and Gerve spent the rest of the night ferrying the injured to it. "You don't know if they got treatment or not," he said. The next day, Gerve moved corpses off the roads. Then he ran into a friend, Ricardo Jean-Michel, who was in Haiti working at a start-up magazine entitled Cool. The pair found a place to buy bread - at about five times the regular price - and distributed it to a group camped out near a gas station. With so many hungry people and limited resources, Gerve decided to concentrate on helping this one group as best he could. His group of 20 quickly grew. He cut it off at 70.

MURDER CASE TO JURY
Monday, February 15, 2010 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER 2 accused of beating and shooting man in luxury home A Hudson County jury is weighing the fate of two men charged in the brutal murder of a Jersey City man in his 15th floor luxury apartment on the waterfront. On Thursday a jury began deliberations in the murder trial of Zia Berisha, 35, of Linden and his alleged accomplice, Agim Gjonbalahj, 34, of Brooklyn, who are charged with the Nov. 6, 2007 murder of Michael Marro, 39. The victim was bludgeoned and shot in the head in his Warren Street home. Prosecutors say Marro was killed in a robbery gone bad and high-grade marijuana was a factor in the relationship of the defendants and victim. He was beaten so badly that it wasn't until the autopsy that it was learned he had also been shot in the head, officials said. The medical examiner testified Marro suffered a fractured skull, facial fractures and bruising on his body. There were signs of a struggle in the apartment and evidence it was ransacked and a safe had been moved, DeFazio said. Prosecutors say Marro may have been beaten in an effort to get him to reveal where valuables were hidden. The prosecution called 22 witnesses, mostly law enforcement officers, DNA experts and phone company officials. Prosecutors told the jury that Marro's blood was on Berisha's jacket when Berisha was arrested in Elizabeth shortly after the murder and Gjonbalahj's blood was found on Marro's doorknob. Gjonbalahj took the witness stand and testified he and Berisha were in Marro's apartment that night and Berisha was to sell the victim a half pound of marijuana. He said Berisha and the victim were arguing about something when Marro took out a gun. Gjonbalahj said there was a scuffle between Marro and Berisha during which Marro's gun went off, killing Marro. Gjonbalahj said his blood was left behind after accidentally cutting his hand while trying to get Berisha out of Marro's apartment. Marro was shot in the back of the head. While cross examining Gjonbalahj, the prosecutor worked to show the jury that it was unlikely Marro would have suffered such a wound during a scuffle. Berisha was pulled over in Elizabeth for speeding and making an illegal U-turn within an hour of the murder and he was arrested after police found he had a small quantity of marijuana. Later police realized that watches found in Berisha's car belonged to Marro and the prosecution's case began to take shape. Both defendants are charged with murder, felony murder, armed robbery and weapons offenses. They face 30 years to life if convicted in the killing. Jury deliberations will resume at 9 a.m. on Tuesday in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Joseph V. Isabella. ======================== Defendant previously sentenced for drugs Monday, February 15, 2010 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Accused murderer Zia Berisha was sentenced to 14 years in prison in October on drug-related charges by a federal judge who called him a career criminal and noted his prior convictions for aggravated assault drug distribution. When Berisha pleaded guilty in Camden on Jan. 9, 2009 he admitted that on May 8, 2006, he bought 4,000 ecstasy pills in Brooklyn for $14,000. He also admitted that on June 20, 2006, he sold approximately 1,300 ecstasy pills to a person in Linden for about $5,000. The buyer was cooperating with the FBI. FBI agents had been investigating Berisha's drug-dealing activity for several months when he was arrested in Elizabeth on Nov. 7, 2007 after being pulled over for a traffic violation. Officers found drugs, cash and expensive watches in his car and later determined one belonged to murder victim Michael Marro.

 Jersey City apartment ruined by leaky ceiling, mold Monday, February 15, 2010 By GEM JEFFERSON JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Andrea Nesbitt can't sleep in her bedroom at night because the mold grows across her window sills, water leaks from the ceiling every time it rains and the heater in the room doesn't work. Other than that, Nesbitt likes living at the Toy Factory Apartments at 340 Bergen Ave., in Jersey City. That's not a joke. For $783 a month, residents get three bedrooms, and some apartments even have three bathrooms, she said. That's why she has stayed so long, she says. But now she is getting tired of the problems. The mold may be affecting the health of her children, she says. Nesbitt says the problems have existed since she moved there in June 2008. Repairmen have cut holes in her ceiling to try to locate the source of the leak, but with no success. She's gone to court and she's had health inspectors come - and still the problems persist. "I don't know what else to do. The city keeps giving them extensions to finish the work and still nothing," Nesbitt said. Housing code officials inspected Nesbitt's apartment on Dec. 16 after receiving complaints and found nine violations: mold on the window sill of the three bedrooms, window seals that needed repair in the three bedrooms, the ceiling in the living needed repair, a leak needed to be fixed from the ceiling vent in the living room and a window seal in the living room needed repair. The city gave Realty Management until Feb. 2 to address each violation, but when officials reinspected Nesbitt's apartment, only the last violation was fixed. Nesbitt's complaints are not the only ones that Realty Management, which operates the building, has received. At least two other tenants have similar issues with their apartments. Cecilia Henriquez and Hassane Azabi said they have rectangular holes in their ceilings to match Nesbitt's. "We can't even leave our houses without checking the weather," Azabi said. "If it rains when we're not here, it's not pretty when we get back." Wayne Fox, Realty Management president, said his company is working on it. "We are working on the problem," Fox said, adding that a roofer was scheduled to look at the building that day. "But leaks are hard to fix. You patch up what you think is the problem, and you wait until the next time it rains to see if you were successful. "We just haven't been (successful) up until now." Realty Management was ordered to appear in municipal court on Feb. 23 to address the numerous violations.

Police found the Hillside resident unconscious on the sidewalk near Washington Boulevard near Newport Parkway, reports said. On coming to, the man who appeared "very intoxicated," became belligerent with police saying that he had been attacked by a group of men, reports said. While being taken to Jersey City Medical Center in an ambulance to be treated for cuts and bruises, the man had to be restrained because of his aggressive behavior toward the medical technicians, police said.

The state is on the edge of Bankruptcy, This Gov has to make some very un-popular decisions.Unlike his predecessor who's only concern was sipping lattes in hoboken over looking the nyc skyline from his penthouse and was a 'do nothing" gov, this guy at the very least has the right attitude to approach our financial woes.
Its time that the schools get rid of their top heavy $$$$ employees (Epps is a perfect example) and start trimming a lot of fat which is way over due. Same goes for NJT and all the other public entities that rely heavy on state funding. As for the unions, guess what, if your rank and file move out of the state, theres plenty of people left here that are more than willing to take those jobs and don't need the unions!

Jersey City police raid meth lab, make an arrest
Monday, February 15, 2010 By CHARLES HACK JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A narcotics raid at a West Side apartment Friday evening closed down a meth lab and resulted in the arrest of its operator Friday evening, police reports said. Emmanuel C. Reyes, 46, of West Side Avenue in Jersey City was charged with drug possession, drug distribution near a school and within 500 feet of public property, operating a drug production facility, using booby traps at the facility and weapons possession, reports said. Using a search warrant, police found the meth lab when they entered the apartment on West Side Avenue near Boyd Avenue at 6:57 p.m. Friday. The raid came after a five-day narcotics investigation that followed a complaint from a local resident about apparent drug activity in the building. Reyes was with a 24-year-old woman and 45-year-old man in the apartment when he answered the door. Police arrested Reyes after spotting a kitchen garbage can with objects in it containing crystal methamphetamine. After discovering several propane tanks in the apartment, police evacuated the building and contacted the Jersey City Fire Department Hazmat team. The team inspected the apartment before declaring it safe to continue the investigation. With the help of the JCPD Emergency Services Unit, which is trained in dealing with meth labs, investigators found chemicals and hazardous laboratory materials used for manufacturing crystal meth. Also found was an unspecified amount of the drug itself, police reports said. Police also found scales and bags used for measuring and packaging the drug for street sale. Police also removed a pellet gun and $1,716 in cash.

Hudson County schools will lose $44M in state aid under Gov. Christie's new plan
By The Jersey Journal February 15, 2010, 8:55AM Hudson County schools will lose nearly $44.2 million in state aid under an executive order signed by Gov. Chris Christie last week. Perhaps the most pain will be felt in Union City, which will lose $29.3 million - by far the most in the state and more than all the districts combined in Morris County and just $100,000 less than all the districts in Bergen County. Union City is losing so much because the district has $26.3 million in what Christie calls "excess surplus," in addition to other balances. Second in line statewide is Perth Amboy, which will lose $15.26 million. Some Hudson County districts were spared. Bayonne and West New York will not lose any state aid and Hudson County Vocational will lose only $253. But, Kearny will lose $3.87 million, followed by Jersey City with $3.565 million, Harrison with $2.455 million and North Bergen with $2.058 million. East Newark is taking a $827,937 hit, followed by Guttenberg with $816,301, Hoboken with $669,521, Weehawken with $500,013 and Secaucus with $75,974. An empty classroom at Union City High School. Union City officials were out of the office and could not be reached for comment Friday. Jersey City Superintendent Charles Epps said the funds were for an emergency, like the pipe that recently burst at School 9. "Any time you lose money it has an impact," he said. "How devastating that impact is going to be, I don't know yet." Epps said the administration will start making accommodations to account for the cut. There was a firestorm of criticism Thursday as Christie announced he would make the cuts to plug a $2.2 billion deficit through executive order, rather than through lawmakers. The state is required to have a balanced budget by June 30. In addition to school aid, hospitals, higher education and NJ Transit will see cuts. Christie said the cuts wouldn't be popular, but they are necessary. "Suburban districts will sacrifice. Urban districts will sacrifice. Rural districts will sacrifice," he said. "Our state is in crisis. Our people are hurting. Now is the time when we all must resist the traditional, selfish call to protect your own turf at the cost of our state." At least one Jersey City Board of Education member said he supported Christie. "I totally understand the governor's problem," said board member Gerry McCann, a Democrat. "In spite of what people think, I totally agree the only way we're going to correct an immediate problem is to do exactly what he's doing. If I was governor, I would do the exact same thing."

Heres a novel idea, get rid of the food court, and bring in more stores that cater to a non -teen consumer crowd.
Its not easy, because theres a delicate balance needed in order to sustain the profitability factor when you turn away a group of individuals, but where is the line drawn in the sand between safety and Bussiness?

I agree with you about the retail shops. It will be tough with all those big stores by. You have to have some sort of intuitive insight to do well. For instance, a wine shop could do well. People would rather run down to the corner than across Holland Tunnel traffic. But if they're stocking up they'll go to buyrite, so they would probably lose out on bigger orders. I disagree with you on the restaurants however. Like I said before HPAH and Simple did well before management changes. White Star does well. As far as South City Grill and Michael Anthony's are concerned. Why take a crappy walk across Marin and thru a mall to go to a mediocre restaurant at best?

I appreciate all your comments. They are very interesting and an opinion based on you living here. However, I'm very curious about someone doing a real business plan, taking out opinion, rather a focussed one that reviews everything related to what it takes to open a business here. I also wonder if these boutique stores did their comprehensive business plan first. I have my opinions on what I think this neighborhood should do, but it doesn't mean my opinion would result in my action to patronize these businesses. There is most certainly a difference. Detailed surveys, focus groups - all the due diligence of a good business plan would weed that out and we'd all learn what is currently needed, wanted and would at least succeed on paper. Your opinion may represent many people, but I believe mine must too. I know a very intelligent, successful business man who walked around our neighborhood and said "there are a lot of stores with a lot of ideas but it doesn't look to me like any of them had the business sense first to see if they'd succeed here". He was talking about a funky Tailor shop nearby and a boutique etc....time will tell. I do know, however, that if I live here and know what I like and love, my peers and friends live here and are of the same like mind....then we all have something to offer businesses if they figured it out properly....and I'd do that over any shopping mall. Period. I'm more tempted over an experience, local interactions, style, and a few more bucks than a shopping mall. We just bought accessories at the local camera shop because we wanted to support a local business. Some people think that way. I don't have a bonnet, or a poodle, but when I go to the outskirts of Williamsburg and shop at Buffalo Exchange, or the second hand/new items stores that pop up in Williamsburg... they are making a killing...and their price point is not for the elite. They are merely a hipster second hand store. And I'm pretty sure it's my brains got me my hard earned, well deserved, funds and therefore, I can most certainly choose to purchase a pair of jeans at any price because that is my right (but I'd much rather find a fantastic pair of second hand designer jeans and be excited by the 'find'). That is why a business plan is fantastic, it rules out people's prejudice and opinion and identifies the truth of what is really going on in a community through analysis and other factual not-emotional, methods.

Newport Mall a couple of years back had lots of signs around the mall that teens couldn't be in groups/"packs" of 4/5 or more. (I forget the number). Otherwise they would be asked to leave the mall.
The problem is once you have these large "packs" of teens gathering - that's when they get out of control and in trouble and fights break out. What ever happened to this program? Also, that police office / sub precinct is a joke. Every time I walk by it, there is never anyone inside and its always closed. FG

Has anyone noticed the awful smell of the new PATH Trains? I enjoy a new ride, but the train certainly does not exhibit a "new car smell". It's not one train, but every new train with the same odor. Does anyone have any insight into why the new trains contain a funk? Will it go away?

Short Hills is a great mall but the lack of food court is frustrating for people with young children. I don't want to spend $40 on lunch at the mall in one of those sit down restaurants so the only places you can go that are affordable is the Au Bon Pain and that burrito place. And since those are the only two places in the mall they are always packed.
