Now THAT'S funny!

One option is to negotiate with your landlord and ask for a month-to-month lease. You can also offer to give him 30 or 60 days notice before you intend to move, cooperate with requests to show your unit to replacement tenants and offer to pay an extra month's rent if he's unable to re-rent during that 30 - 60 days.

I'm not so much concerned about C-Town closing. Walked in and right out once because of the stench. But if A&P closes and I'm relegated to Shop Rite as the only viable downtown option, I'm heading out of town. Though their prices are better than A&P, I find the Shop Rite employees rude and the meat and produce horrible. BTW, the market section of Target is great. It's a limited selection but it's immaculate, prices are good and the quality is great.

From a 2009 story, the CEO of Comcast is among the top 15 CEO moneymakers in the country.

Unlike their billing, I'm guessing that the Comcast financial systems are right on the money when they're cutting his paycheck.

I also used Joe Scanlon for a closing and would highly recommend him.

After countless missed service appointments and incompetent tech issues, I finally switched to DISH network and love it. I know it's not possible for everyone because you need a place to mount the dish, there's no On-Demand service, plus I have to get my internet via a DSL line. But those inconveniences were worth the trade-off to not be at the mercy of Comcast. They are ferocious, merciless thieves.

^ Hilarious....and sad at the same time.

It would be really sad for me if Europa was closed for good. My family has been getting their homemade Kielbasa and Pierogi there for more than 50 years for the holidays. I hope that they'll be back.

Just wanted to give all of you a heads-up that the new 20-minute per quarter rate took effect on Grove Street today. Our 2 hours for a buck now costs $1.50.
