This is going to be unpopular here but screw it I'm going to go out on a limb for these guys even though I barely know them and haven't bought a vintage piece since college.
These guys have been super involved in this community and their store is great for Downtown. I hope they make their fundraising goal and open a super sweet spot and can continue to support this community for years to come.

I heard they were combining More and Box Spring.
Box was sold. Box Spring is going to reopen as a Bar called "Box Spring-Steen". Ok maybe the name is wrong but it's going to be a bar type place.

What are the metrics to be included in an SDA formerly Abbott District?
It will be disastrous when the State pulls it's funding or even greatly reduces it.

he is @thatjeep on twitter and it doesn't seem to be too active. His site also seems to be down. And if it wasn't late at night I wouldn't care. But last night he stopped right up the street from my home at about 11, and blared for a solid 10 minutes. And it was blaring, and not particularly good taste. I will get some water balloons for the next situation.

Moving it to the Thursday before Memorial Day is another tricky move. Will the negative opinion of the public be weighed at the next presentation or will it be an entirely new thought process? I hope the board will weigh the previous comments and not just toss them out.

I can tell you first hand they are worried about it. The city offers these licenses then selectively enforces rules when they see fit. The food truck vendors have invested money in these trucks and time and effort and then when they have a working functional setup as they did at Grove St. and Hamilton Park, that too gets the short shrift. I know they have met with city council and business groups and have had very little movement in getting anything done. It is a shame because there is more then enough mouths' to feed, I was happily eating at Grove St. Market once a week, and getting Two Boots once a week, and going to any number of other restaurants other times. Creating an environment that eliminates my choices is a bad business decision.

Does JC reimburse you for damage to your car from a pot hole like NYC? I hit a doozy early yesterday evening between 10th and 11th on Monmouth. The poor guy behind me must have followed my swerve and hit the exact same one because we both had blow outs. Be careful over there!

I actually think this is more about maintaining the ability to call yourself a "Farmer's Market" than it is about the businesses in the vicinity of Hamilton Park not wanting the prepared food there. If you look at the list that was given out by the Two Boots guy none of the places in HP seemed to mind. In fact some of my friends that worked in the Neighborhood actually liked it because it meant more people in the neighborhood stopping in for a drink or quick bite. It's a total shame that these greedy buffoons couldn't see the big picture in the way these things work.
I don't often root for businesses to fail but Two Boots going the way of the dino's will not lead me to shed a tear. Totally ruining a nice little bonus of Downtown JC life.

Please a car is not a "valuable piece of property". It is a tool that's value rapidly depreciates. The average person shouldn't consider their Honda Accord an investment, or something that will return any value other then transportation to them. People would be better off presuming their car is worthless the moment they pay for it. Jersey City needs more parking like we need another tax abatement.

My family have been using them for about 95% of our groceries for as long as they've been coming to Jersey City. In a nut shell we have no issues with them, the minor issues we do have are handled with excellent customer service. The 5% of stuff we get elsewhere is odds and ends or stuff we forget. It's really a top notch service.

I can't tell you how many times I've swept up the block between 3rd and 4th on Monmouth and it is all broken bottles from both Abbey's and the Barge. The Barge is a nuisance but this place is only a step above. Also the dude's veiled threats are hysterical in that video. What an actor.

I'm squarely on the side of the food trucks, as more options is always preferable.
I think the HDSID gums up a lot of this. They have a mission to help these business in Jersey City, and in a myopic manner the HDSID is helping their members in. So my question is why does the HDSID get this prime space to utilize? Wouldn't it be preferable to the city reclaiming the space and then managing the farmers markets? Since Two Boots first started injecting his opinions on urban planning and how public space should be utilized, I've stopped going completely and I don't really miss it, and I was a once a week customer. I know several of my friends have stopped going as well because of the same concerns.

I religiously report the home next door which is vacant. However of the 5 times I've reported them since 1/23/14 only two have resulted in summonses being issued according to the Resident Response Center. Every request is code 020 inspection. Anyone know why there is such lax enforcement. Is there anyway to know what is happening, and why summonses aren't being issued, it seems it would be a pretty clear cut way to issue a summons.

I don't think the MUA falls under this law as they aren't the government per-say but an autonomous agency. The spirit of the law is being broken though in my mind in awarding a no-bid contract for this amount. That said is it possible that the law firm did more work this year and that is the reason for the increase in fees, rather then being just more expensive?
