everything changed in this community: zoning laws, as extended families packed into one-family neighborhoods. tax base, as the hasids are disproportionately on public assistance (studying the torah for a living doesn't bring in the big bucks). and the school system has been utterly decimated. I am admittedly biased against fundamentalist anything, and this particular group of fundies has a clear agenda and a rock-solid voting bloc. if a well-organized group of orthodox muslims had done the same thing to a community, the entire nation would be up in arms.

Maybe this community fears becoming another East Ramapo, NY?

Pachysandra is great for these spots. it is invasive, though, so best used in a fenced yard/garden, as opposed to a wide-open yard.

it's great that an app steered you out of the bubble. now for the downside...
I fear Waze is going to make mornings in DTJC more of a sh*tshow than they already are, as more and more drivers are guided off the turnpike and through downtown to avoid tunnel traffic.

I'm sitting on the shuttle from WTC, and we are crawwwwwwling up 6th ave at a snail's pace.
The first stop isn't until 4th street, so here's me missing that movie date. It's gonna be a long 4 month stretch for PATH riders, but a lucrative one for the MTA, as I don't see many of us doing this more than once.

just heard that Big Drum will be closing this summer. a big loss to the community.
they're offering big discounts on inventory, so if you've been putting off some framing projects, get on them now.

nobody on the left gave a moment's notice to who's doing what in the next stall, until the wingnut GOP down south sought to distract their easily-duped constituents from the economic sh*tshow their redneck states have become.

We just have to wait for them to grow old and die, taking their twisted interpretation of the teachings of a magical sky ghost with them. In the meantime, we can but wonder in dismay as to why conservatives are so obsessed with genitalia.

I would love to see Sixth Street turned into a light rail line, with the park running alongside it.
no parking needed to visit the park then.

The emergency vet in Lyndhurst is incredible, but if he's no longer seizing, it's probably okay to wait until morning to take him to your regular vet.
Seizures in dogs don't always signal a life-threatening condition. A 10-15 minute seizure is pretty long, though. Was he full-on seizing that entire time? Here's some good info: http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet- ... ures-general-for-dogs/903 "Treatment is usually begun only after a pet has: 1) more than one seizure a month, 2) clusters of seizures where one seizure is immediately followed by another or 3) grand mal seizures that are severe or prolonged in duration" Good luck!
