I have it on good authority that notwithstanding the promise to prosecute this witch for assault, notwithstanding scheduled hearings to determine whether thses dogs are vicious, notwithstanding 3+ attacks on humans, and notwithstanding public outcry:

THE DOGS ARE BEING RELEASED TO KOLB.

Anyone want a puppy? Because they will need to sell a couple to make up for the cash they presumably gave to the prosecutor and judge.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN JERSEY CITY.

This is terrible. It's not even that late at night. Seemed that more and more of this is happening in the "good" parts of town.

Apparently after the incident the owner took off and refused to give him any information about themselves. It's horrendous that this happened yet again and who knows how many other times. This is disgraceful. I did see in this thread that this should hopefully be coming to a resolution as of yesterday...

I can't get over the fact that someone refused to give any information, In a prior news post on this thread is a statement from the Hudson County Prosecutor: "DeFazio asks that anyone who may have been attacked by these dogs to call his office at (201) 795-6959"
Please pass this information to your friend.

Cops: Man attacked by unleashed dogs in Downtown Jersey City

by Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal
Monday January 19, 2009, 6:14 PM

A Jersey City man was attacked by two mastiffs in the city's Downtown neighborhood this morning, and the owner of the dogs was issued two summonses for failing to keep them on leashes, officials said.

Susan Clob, 58, of Dudley Street, was issued the summonses after the 7 a.m. attack at Christopher Columbus Drive and Washington Street, police said.

The 24-year-old victim, a resident of Brunswick Street, was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center in stable condition and appears to have suffered injuries to his arm, officials said.

When police responded they saw the dog owner leading the mastiffs into a nearby building and a witness flagged down the cops and pointed out the victim who had run into a nearby lobby, reports said.

The victim said Clob unleashed the large male and smaller female dogs, which then ran across the street, police said. The male bit his arm, then the female bit him as well.

Clob tried to pulled them off the victim but they were both dragged to the ground, police said.

A witness tried to scare the dogs off by driving his car toward them but that did not work, police said.

Construction workers at a nearby project approached the dogs and banged their helmets on the ground to scare them as the larger one was going for the victim's neck, police said.

The dogs let up enough for the victim to run to the safety of a nearby building with the larger dog on his heels, police said.

Clob was issued the summonses but the dogs were not taken away, officials said.

Grace Van Vorst does a breakfast program for the hungry every saturday and sunday morning in the parish hall (erie near 2nd). My husband and i do the third sunday every month and i get more out of it than the people who come to the breakfast do i think. You can help cook, or serve, or wash dishes, whatever your kid is comfortable with. Everyone is pretty laid back and i have signed quite a few forms for kids doing community service for school who come volunteer. It's from 7am to @ 9:15am saturday and sunday. There is a different coordinator for each day and you can just show up that morning and go to the kitchen and introduce yourself.

I tried to get onto this death-train last night around 3:30. When it pulled into 14th it was already packed to the gills, but for some reason the jackasses in front of me (probably from Hoboken) decided to take running starts and push their way in, giggling like a bunch of drunk asses the whole time. It was really inconsiderate, even for a bunch of Jersey guys.

My gf and I eventually just decided to go up to the street and ate a diner till about 5AM until we thought the PATH would clear up. It was still bush at that time, but at least we got on.

I know that they run trains infrequently at night, but would don't they add more trains on nights like this? They already know what's coming.

I have had numerous issues with Comcast (including them billing me for movies ordered on my box BEFORE my service started - presumably from the prior owner - it took 4 calls and about 2 hours on the phone to resolve) and had another one this weekend.

My OnDemand has been down for at least a week. I call Comcast and the lady answering the phone says that it has been down citywide (although sporadically) for a week and a half. She has no idea when it will be up and running again. I asked if there would be a credit on the account and she replied that there would not be because it was a free service.

While that may be true, one of Comcast's biggest selling points is their on demand and they use it to lure people into buying the movie packages. Indeed, their main page trumpets On Demand even though it is currently unavailable. I think that the feature is one that people don't necessarily consider free but a vital feature of the service.

I can't wait for FIOS.

I've browsed through (briefly) the threads on this topic and I'm wondering what opinions people have on daycare (particularly in the Heights) vs a part-time nanny. I've looked at Baby Einstein Learning Center and it looked good, but any other Heights ONLY recommendations? Any nannies willing to work 1-2 days per week in the Heights?
Thanks...

Hey Guys--

I have only had time to read the topic not all of the responses so excuse me if I am being repetitive.

Since Oct 2007, I have lived near the corner of Palisade Ave and Griffith Street in the heights and have found it to be a really good experience thus far. I find Ogden to be a very beautiful and quiet block compared to the rest of the area and (almost) never feel unsafe.

My schedule varies incredibly: I am coming home any day of the week at basically anytime all the way up to 4, 5, or 6 am, taking both public transportation, cabs, and my car. Parking is a bit of a pain in terms of alternate side of the road parking but it is by no means unmanageable.

The neighborhood is generally quiet, but urban, and there are a lot of kids around. At least twice a week, I go running from Franklin to Congress on Palisade and back up Ogden.

You should try visiting and walking the area at different times of the day and see if it suits you.


Hope that helps

You may want to reach out to ninasdogwalk -- she's also a member of JCList.com.

I just checked out her website for you, NinasDogWalk.com.

Besides the really groovy illustration on her site's homepage, it lists her rates, e-mail address, phone number, customer reviews and all kinds of other helpful stuff.

Also, she has a Special Offer page where she offers first-time customers one free 30-minute walk and she provides discounts for customers who need more than more walk per week.

I am not a dog owner myself and I only know ninasdogwalk from her upbeat posts on JCList.com, but I hope this helps you out!

Don't go if you're in a hurry, the service......is.......very......very....slow.

The food is decent for a quick bite to eat (The Lemon Salsa Chicken is really good) but I haven't gone there in a long time due to frustration over ridiculously slow service.
