Hi, I am new to this group

I live on Wayne street, also and the owner of the two 'drug buildings' on the corner has done nothing to clean up the street. He is a rich guy who inherited both buildings and fills them with section 8 renters, a clinic and a drug store which creates a ghetto atmosphere on what otherwise would be a nice block. The previous owner of my building tried for years to have the city and VVPA to do 'something' about the buildings and nothing was ever done.

I have been on Wayne St for nine years. I have always been polite to the people who hang out there and have never been bothered by them. I have a neighbor who walks by the group and looks at them as if they were pond scum. A little respect goes a long way. Just a nod of your head can change everything.

The Path and Light Rail are down there also?

The apartment was near 54th and Blvd East...I am seeing another one today that is near 34th and Blvd East.

I wanted to update you guys and ask another question...I looked around Grove and found some things that I liked, but overall I am a little blah about Grove...but then I happened to see alot of apartments listed on Craigslist in the Blvd. East (West New York) area and decided to take a trip over there today to see whos-a-whats-in over there...So from my understanding you can take the bus or gypsy vans on Blvd East to NYC in 15 minutes? Is that true? Are they 24 hours? It seemed like the apartments over there were slightly cheaper than Grove, and the area by the water looked very nice...and if the average commute from Grove with walking to an office in the garment district is 35-40 minutes, it seems like this West New York route is slightly quicker.

Does anyone know if that commute time is accurate? What bus goes down Blvd. East and am I missing any methods of transport in that area (gypsy, nj transit bus, water ferry) and is there any downside to living over there?

Thanks for all your help!

Olde Good Things is run by a religious cult called the Church of Bible Understanding (COBU). Search google and you'll find some interesting articles about how they've been able to dominate the architectural salvage business in this part of the country because their labor is more or less free.

Hi everyone, I am new to the board and a bit clueless about Jersey City (and surrounding towns) geography, so I am hoping you all can help? I have friends that live in the Heights, near Grove, Union City, Weehawken, and I am getting conflicting stories about the commute time to NYC.

I am opening my own boutique in the Garment District and want to move from Central New Jersey so I can be 25 - 30 minutes away from my boutique. My boutique will be on 38th betw. 8th/9th aves so I can come into Penn Station, 33rd Path, or Port Authority 42nd. What areas would you suggest I check out? I want to be able to get to work in 25-30 minutes by public transport. I have a car, but I don't want to have to pay the high prices of parking/Ezpass, etc. Oh, and I don't want to spend more than $1500/month for rent...if I could get a 1 bedroom or squeeze out 1 bedroom plus small den/office that I can have guests stay in, that would be perfect.

Hope you all can help!

I just put up pictures of the installation of this siding including a 4 frame series with the crane lifting the slabs over the light rail track:
