I hear a high pitched noise now. It is definitely coming from someone's backyard between 4th and 5th, Jersey and Erie. Sound like an ultrasonic pest deterrent gone crazy.

No, I know the sound that b_happy's talking about. It's a very high frequency. It's so high that not everyone can hear it, but it hurts my ears. I have heard it off and on for over a year now. I don't hear it inside my house, though. I was assuming some sort of pest deterrent or alarm, as well and thought it might have been coming from the condemned section of the church on 4th and Jersey.

Re: Parking for Truck & Trailer for 5 Days

If you're going to attempt street parking, during a weekday (non-holiday) and you're in a 'zoned' area, don't forget to get a parking permit!

Re: Best Burger in JC

#184

Home away from home

Wow, just had a Kobe burger at Fire & Oak last night. It was amazing. IMO it blew away the Embankment's burger. Granted, it was a splurge ($17.95, includes fries), but worth it. I also upgraded the fries to their truffle cheese fries.

They also have a regular "Fire & Oak" burger on the menu that is a little less pricey, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to do a taste test.

Great service, good wine. We'll be going back. Also, they have a Monday special of $1 oysters. They were very good too.

(We also had a short rib sandwich, which we weren't impressed with. It was too sweet for our tastes. I wouldn't order that again)

No offense, but you guys are easily spooked. 2nd Street behind ShopRite? It's mostly just loading docks. Then it's the waterfront. What time are you running? 3 AM? Because between 1 am and 6 am is probably the only time I can imagine anybody being nervous there.

...

In my original message, I stated that I am a female and I run in the morning and that I found those streets 'creepy' before 7AM. And that after "7AM-ish", I felt more comfortable.

On 2nd street, there's an empty building with a 3x3 hole in the first floor that I've seen people crawl out of. I've seen people sleeping on the loading platforms of the storage place.

I hope I've justified myself to you.

And radryan03 makes a good point: don't run the same pattern.

The sunrise over the city is beautiful.

I try to save the treadmill for bad weather days.

Where are the creepy streets to/from the waterfront?

Man, some of you people are pretty faint of heart if you think the Downtown streets are creepy.

Yes, maybe we're not all tough as you.

I was thinking of 2nd Street, behind the ShopRite

Re: PATH (pathetic attempt at transporting humans)

#189

Home away from home

Hah, I've been riding the PATH daily for over 11 years and I swear the farting has become epidemic. I mostly notice it on the rides home and I figured that those people had been saving up all day just to release on the PATH. I wish I could have witnessed the ranter.

Re: Municipal Trash Can

#190

Home away from home

They removed the municipal trash cans from at least four locations on one day:
Jersey and 3rd
Jersey and 4th
Jersey and 5th (there were two cans cross-corner)
Jersey and 6th

I did email Fulop, like suggested above, but i think he's been pretty busy these last few days
