I am a 5 min drive to Bayonne... you people think Bayonne is far LMAO... it takes me 20 min to get WTC why would you think coming from Bayonne take eternity? Bayonne also has the a flyer on the lightrail that zips them to Hoboken in 15 min...

Also during Sandy when the light rail was out I drove to Bayonne sometimes to catch the bus to Wall street which took 40 min and sometimes less. Other times I caught the ferry at Port Liberte. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Bayonne but its distance from Manhattan is not one of them.

Tons of price drops = a possible motived seller.

Not all that far from 8th street light station although need to cross 440, perhaps there is an overpass walkway.

Bayonne Crossing has tons of shopping and it's near by.

Great starter home with what looks like little needed in the way of renovations (big plus considering the cost and time for dealing with contractors) - 3 car PARKING which is huge after dealing with the struggles in JC if you have more than one car.

I'd come in low @ $205k cash offer (you can always go up so start low) with no contingencies (there is a noted lead paint disclosure) after a really thorough balls to the wall home inspection with a specula and also seeing clear title ready to transfer.

It's brick and seems to have been built in the late 50's when there was still a level of craftsmanship you simply don't see today with the all the prefab crap used.

Sure it's Bayonne, considered the armpit of NJ - but it is actually a safe community with a lot of pride in homeownership there.

You should have seen Hamilton Park 25 years ago, it was rank nasty nasty.

Just food for thought.

I'm sure there are much much better deals for those who want to do the leg work and hit the ground running or pay premiums to stay in the hip area of JC.

Anyone have old pics of Hamilton Park? I tried a quick google search.

Definitely some concerns with the growing vehicular traffic in the area (full disc. I'm a driver adding to the traffic myself but I try to walk/take public transit as much as I can).

One other item of note that I have seen time and time again (and as a driver it concerns me) is that on various streets (especially Jersey Avenue) cars are allowed to park right up to the corner. And I have yet to see a car ticketed.

This is bad due to the fact that it partially cuts off the view of the beginning of the crosswalk and even for a driver going the speed limit, it is easy to miss someone who isn't bothering to look for oncoming cars and just launches into the crosswalk.

Pedestrians of course always have the right of way, but at least prevent cars from obstructing part of the crosswalk so drivers can safely anticipate when someone is about to cross. Driving slowly and safely is obviously the main answer...but anything we can do to help drivers and pedestrians help each other be safe is a good thing!

Question is, who is best to write to about it? The cops? City Hall?

Pebble, do you have an eyewitness account?

I arrived home just before this occurred. Some people were outside hanging out and all seemed fine. But I was in the house for about 30 minutes when I heard some loud commotion followed by some screaming. The police were there pretty quick.

The people were on Crescent. I'm guessing the argument moved down the street to where their car was likely parked.

45-28=17... not all that much better, but more accurate.

Um...Michelangelo's Last Judgement on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican is full of naked and half naked people in close proximity to each other for christ's sake. His statue of David, a biblical figure, stands in full naked glory, pubic hair and all. Equating nudity with pornography is a product of your own perverted mind.

I do not compare these photos to Michelangelo; they're mediocre and derivative at best.

Hey wishful thinking, didn't you read what I wrote? I said my condo, not the building. The place where I reside. The blessing takes places inside my door, not outside. The priest uses Holy Water and prayers. By the way, many Jewish families have Mezuzah which is on the outside of their door. They do not need my OK for that so I am not seeking an OK for the blessing on my condo.

The Mezuzah would be in their doorframe. I don’t care about you blessing your condo.

Considering the Catholic Church chooses to depict a nearly naked man with spikes through his hands, thorns around his head and slashes and cuts dripping blood throughout his body, I find it rather comical that a bunch of healthy people in a photograph would be alarming, disturbing or embarrassing…

This is blasphemy and offensive towards Catholics and religion it should be removed and you should be chastised for posting this. I am surprised the webmaster has not done so yet.
