Agreed. Local businesses interested in promoting on JC List would do well to see how Park & Sixth and Grove Street Bicycles do it. Be honest and tell us who you are and we'll (generally) respond honestly and with respect. Speaking of such honesty, I've been a little turned off from Parkside Bistro ever since they failed to honor a LivingSocial deal under suspicious circumstances. I have gone back since, but the service was uneven enough (10+ minutes to get water, no refills on drinks, menu items not available) to fail to convince me otherwise. Food there has always been solid though. That jasmine rice is awesome.

My insurance changed last year and I had to find a new dentist. Dr. Paek (he goes by Andrew) was covered by my new plan so I went there for my 6-month checkup. The office is a little older, but all the equipment is modern (3-D X-Rays and such) and the staff was friendly and professional. If you live downtown, you can't beat the convenience and you can feel secure about their services. I recommend Dr Paek with confidence.

Hey, it only took six posts for an article about a new park to turn into a race discussion. Way to go JCList!
Regarding the actual park, this quote struck me: Quote: "One kid told me, 'I don't know what grass is.' It's really sad," said Morris. "It made us better natural athletes, being outside all the time. That makes this special." What's hilarious is that the beautifully lush lawn at Newport Green is actually artificial turf. Still not a whole lot of natural grass over there. (Insert your own pot-dealer joke here.)

Watched Enterprise fly by from the walkway next to the RR terminal by the NJ 9/11 memorial. Everyone was a little disappointed that it flew over inland instead of over the river, but it was still an awe-inspiring sight.
Funny, because I probably would have had a better view from my rooftop in downtown JC!

There is live video on FOX right now, and the 747 is still taxing on the runway. They also showed the flight path, and it will be heading north up toward the Verrazano first, and then back south to loop past the Statue of Liberty. So I agree, it should probably be going past LSP closer to 10:30.
See you guys there!

In case you don't feel like watching: Not much of JC to see in the 2-minute trailer. A few "stoop" shots of brownstones and lots of interiors at their firehouse apartment. Some quick sets at K9dergarten. And plenty of pics of the Goldman Sachs building used as a phallic backdrop for the interview scenes.

Gentrification? Come on, now.
Would you say the newspapers going out of business are victims of gentrification as well? It's sad to see a long-time neighborhood establishment have to close up shop, but it's certainly not the fault of "yuppies" or wealthier folks in this case.

Apologies if this has been covered before...
Is there a relatively convenient way to get up onto any sections of the Embankment now as it stands? There were some wonderful photos posted by stc4blues and I'd like to climb up there myself sometime to take a peek. Hopefully without breaking too many laws (or my neck.)

Agreed. When street sweeping was suspended last winter for all of January and February, there were people who didn't move their car for weeks or even months. Once all the snow was gone and street sweeping started back up, I saw a few neighbors with cars that wouldn't even start after sitting that long. You can bet without the hassle of moving for the parking rules, more people would keep a car in the street even if they rarely needed it.

Funeral Home at 4th & Jersey becoming apartments

Well, we could all hope for something fun to move into that old funeral home on 4th & Jersey, but it looks like we won't get our wish.
Construction started this morning to convert it into apartments. Apparently there will be ten units in all, including the main building and the garage. Not sure if it will be a condo or rentals.

Stopped in at Pussy...er, Fussy Friends today. The owner seemed friendly and attentive, and explained that they would be getting more product (and shelves!) in next week. They stock some decent high-end cat food that I haven't been able to find at this end of town before (Blue Buffalo, BFF) and even offer FREE DELIVERY! Definitely a nice option for apartment-dwellers who don't want to lug a 20-lb bag of cat litter.

Re: Street Sweeper on fire - west side of Hamilton Park

My guess would be all the dry leaves in the road built up enough friction to cause smoldering. I've spoken with the street sweeper driver and the JCPA driver in the cart, and they both told me that leaves in the street clog up the sweeper and make it less effective.
Will the city provide free leaf bags so I can sweep the leaves there instead of into the street?

I suppose I am in the minority here, but I think the brick crosswalks actually look pretty good. They do serve as a better visual reminder for drivers that it is a crossing area for pedestrians.
Regarding the deterioration over time, I was disappointed to see one of the new crosswalks already ripped up on Erie St where PSE&G laid the new gas lines (or whatever they were doing.) They patched it up with black asphalt and it looks terrible. Hopefully they will be required to go back and fix it properly when all the work is done.

Another positive vote for Ralph's.
I've ordered tires from TireRack.com and had them shipped to my apartment and then installed at Ralph's (even though they weren't an authorized TireRack installer.) They did a fine job with the mounting and balancing and work quickly. And they take American Express.
