I live on monmouth street. At least once a week there is a day where noone in my building receives mail. Looking around the block, it seems as though noone else is getting mail that day either. This would all be just fine is the day was sunday.


I reviewed my security camera footage - and unless she evaded the motion detection settings that are sensitive enough to pick up a blowing leaf - she wasn't on the block at all yesterday. 11/19

Anyone else on monmouth have that same problem?

So, let me get this straight. There are bed bugs at #16 school (as per the Jersey City Independent) , #22 school (as per the JJ) and how many other schools?

Where is the outrage at the lack of communication from Dr. Epps, his lackey subordinates and Board Members? Have the principals said anything?

There are obvious health implications in addition to serious financial ones if a child contracts bedbugs and brings them home.

Helloooooooooo, is anyone there?

This is inexcusable!

I'm really glad this article was posted. I have no idea what JC police make but I am FLOORED by their personal vehicles.

In the past two months, I've driven by construction/road work and there's always a JC cop around. I saw one sitting in his Mercedes SUV. I saw another one getting something out of his completely tricked-out Hummer and another sitting in a Cadillac Escalade.

I do realize that police put their lives on the line and are important and all, but since when did being a police officer replace being in "waste management?"

My property taxes went up $588. I'm unemployed and it's getting increasingly difficult to make ends meet. I have to be honest, it pisses me off when I see a cop at a construction site sitting on his ass in a luxury vehicle.

Dems Want Christie to Apologize to Obama

As I read this article, my general feeling was that this was nothing but political posturing. I voted for Obama, and didn't vote for Christie, but I do not in any way, shape or form think Chirstie owes the President an apology. Frankly, that's just kind of stupid.

But when I got to the part of the article where Christie is quoted as saying, "When President Obama comes back to New Jersey, he's going to have to explain to the people of New Jersey why he's depriving them of $400 million that this application earned them because one of his bureaucrats in Washington couldn't pick up the phone and ask a question, couldn't go on the Internet and find information or wouldn't accept verbal representation from Commissioner Schundler when they were down there," I thought my head was going to explode.

Christie is a self described conservative who thinks that the Federal Government should keep its hands out of States' affairs, yet is applying for Federal funding. That's sort of hypocritical in and of itself.

But what makes me truly crazy is that one of the main beliefs of the conservative ideology of personal responsibility. Yet not only has he made Schundler (whom I don't really care for either) his scapegoat, he is now suggesting (as evidenced by his quote) that it was the responsibility of the "bureaucrats in Washington" to find his administrations mistakes and fix it for them. If that's not a "nanny state" mentality, I don't know what is.

Seriously?

That's like a child saying they can't be punished because they didn't do their homework because they forgot to bring it home and then suggesting that it was the teacher's responsibility to make sure that the assignment made it into his or her backpack.

WTF?

This is my biggest problem with people like Christie. His ideology only seems to hold true when it's applied to someone else. The minute there are negative consequences for their own actions, they start looking for excuses. Personal responsibility...pfft...that's for everyone else.

Nope--they don't even have to go in to get a voucher or anything. They go straight to the boat. And I rarely see any urgency.

Whoever it was that cut in front of you was from a different company.

The only thing I complain about is the fact that Goldman employees think they can cut people in line when they get their tickets.

It's happened to me a few times and the last time about 6 people jumped in front of me. I asked them if they realized I was standing there first and they said "We have to go to a meeting" and I told them that we're all busy and just because they can't time manage and leave earlier for their important meeting, doesn't mean they can cut people in line.

Jerks.

They may or may not be jerks, but you're confused. They don't need tickets--they use their company id's. So if someone cut in line getting their ticket, it wasn't from Goldman.

has anyone been in the past year? has it gotten any better?

I tried it again after a couple of years to see if it was a better experience, it wasn?t. I am not concerned about missing armrests and the aesthetics. My ojida comes from the plethora of hoodlums talking throughout the entire movie, answering their phones, etc.

A couple years ago I first swore off Newport theaters when people were talking on the cell phones, screaming educative comments like ?wha he be thinkin...he crazy?, and a guy near me was translating the entire movie from English to Arabic for the guy next to him.

I will continue going to Edgewater, Secaucus or Battery Park City for another couple of years.
