Snowflake20, great detective work. I'll keep an eye out for the stingy server as well.

I went over the weekend and witnessed the disparate sizes in what determines 1 scoop. My wife and I both ordered one scoop (different people scooped them) and the one i received was probably 1/3 the size of my wife's. The girl who gave me mine had blondish/brown hair, so avoid her and try to get your gelato from the other servers.

What are you rambling about? I don't have abated taxes and neither do a lot of people I know who own downtown. Fact is not as many building have abatements as you would believe.
If there any shops worth going to elsewhere in JC I'll go to them. I've spent my money at places on 440. Where are all these shops in Greenville and the Heights that you keep mentioning. I've eaten at the Indian restaurants on Newark.

Give me a list of all the terrific places to shop and spend my money in Greenville.

So you've eaten on Newark Ave and you're still around to chat about it, congrats to ya. The Heights has plenty to offer.
Hudson Farmers Market
Stop & Shop
Rita's Ice
Podewitz Deli
Goherigs Italian Bakery
Andrea's Italian Deli
Christian Jewlers
Standard Tile
Rizzo's Bakery & Eatery
Renato's Restaurant
Gino's Pizza
Garden State News
Radio Shack...........And there's tons more to list plus most are family owned not some coorporate bimbos runnig the business from a computer in Tim Buk Tu

Abated taxes for them.
NO school taxes paid.

WORK in NYC mostly. So, much of what they spend goes to NYC.
When do THEY shop in Journal Square?
When do they go to the heights to shop?
When do they travel to GREENVILLE to shop?

Just curious...!


The famalies / homeowners / renters in other areas of JC pay the most of tax burden.

I get both sides. Really I do. However, don't kids carry a lot of germs, etc too? I am kind of sick of seeing kids everywhere, running all over restaurants, screaming and carrying on. I know that's a matter of good parenting, but the same can be said of a dog. If a dog is well socialized, I should be allowed to sit outside with him while I have my brunch.
Yes, animals can be dirty. But so can people/kids.

The best is from The Little Sandwich Shop, but you can't really go there for brunch you gotta get it takeout or delivery.

The second-best is from Light Horse Tavern, but the whole meal is probably gonna cost you $50/head.

directly calling someone an "asshole", telling them that their mom "should have aborted" them isn't exactly a measured, or productive, way of stating your opinion.

u seem to have no problem stating your beliefs emphatically, but sometimes come down quite hard (i believe u yourself called this "flaming"?) on others for giving their opinions or observations.

for example, blasting Mrasg1 for originally asking everyone's opinions on the junk food vendors:

again, u have every right to be, well if "overrought" isn't the correct term, a bit shrill, then, in stating your opinions.

but it's sort of hypocritical to be calling others "assholes", and swearing at Mrasg1 for posting his opinions, too.

are u the only one entitled to "waste" time with posting? now who's trying to stifle dialogue?

as for your political leanings, that's not the point -- good for u that you're "liberal" socially, and "conservative" fiscally -- that really isn't the point. it's your tone that's sometimes off-putting. just my opinion (i'm entitled to one too, aren't i?)

Do you think wealthy people will want to live here if they are taxed more here than they are in other states?

Yes. Obviously they will. 4 of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the country are here. Proximity to New York City and Philadelphia, sophisticated culture and entertainment, and available land all make New Jersey a desirable place to live.

And to add the already exorbitant property taxes that we have here, why would anyone want to live in NJ, especially the wealthy?

Where are they going to move to? Ohio? Mississippi? Arkansas?

I find it ironic that my tax money goes to people's payroll and pension and they get much much better benefits than I do and a lot of them make more money than me. .

Do you feel underpaid? Do you feel your benefits should be better?

Millionaires, are really a small percentage of folks that either got lucky or had wisdom, fortitude and persistance, and so deserved to be treated equally, not vilified,

Everyone is treated equally. If YOU earn a million dollars, you pay the tax. If I earn a million dollars, I pay the tax. Its not singling out an individual. If you don't want to pay it, earn less money.
