Does anyone know if this project is going to make its way up into the court house area? As a resident of Jersey City I am pissed at the lack of anything being done to the hilltop area of Jersey City....

They wouldn't necessarily know, but they may be part of a larger "fix it" crew to take care of the clocks. I will rephrase. I asked the handyman who happened to be painting the clock at the time...

We saw Hard Days Night on Sat, my 1st time seeing a movie there. Did anyone else find the echo-ee audio distracting? I don't know if someone forgot to turn the reverb off on the PA system, or that perhaps the acoustics of the theater aren't made for high amplification. The music sounded fine, as it did when we saw Shameka Copeland last week, but the dialog portions were very distorted by it.

As far as I know, it's one of the only multi-day festivals that doesn't include on-site camping. And unlike many single-day festivals, this one is at a temporary venue that includes no shelter for the crowd in the case of rain. In a sense, APW combines all of the worst elements of multi-day and single-day festivals.

I think in both years, there weren't adequate ads or press about it in the city. I didn't see it on any of the usual NYC event feeds and the only place I saw ads or billboards was on the PATH or NJ transit buses. You're not really going to attract crowds from New York for the event if you don't let anyone know about it.

PATH was not ment for the volume of traffic it recieves today. Don't know why they don't build new tunnels.

Because the majority of people see the act of paying taxes as a personal affront. Stop complaining about taxes and maybe our governments can afford to make the investments in the services that are so desperately needed.

Like schools everyone contributes but not all have a vested interest. Meaning not everyone has children, and not everyone takes the train or at least not as frequent as others. Majority wins.

Seriously, that's incredible that at the indictment he was told who the owner of the car was, and probably his address, and then was released to go kill him, this is ridiculous.

Vigilante - what is with your insistence that dogs should be allowed to do whatever they please? This is a serious question. I'd really like to hear your reasoning behind this stance.

Agreed. At first it was nice to hear a voice advocating for the dogs, but now you are starting to sound a bit off-kilter. What gives?

the bottom line is that people let their dogs off leash in MP all the time and JCPD does nothing about it (or LSP police, since technically it is their jurisdiction too.) So if no one is handing out tickets, what is to stop everyone form doing it... nothing.

The attackers were described as being in their late 20s and wearing baggy clothing, reports said.

Uh..the police station is right there, who in their right mind would be up to bad things so close to the JCPD.

I just don't get why dogs would need access to the entire park and why having certain areas off limits to them is so controversial. As long as there is a balance and I can sit with my dog in some areas of the park, sounds perfectly fine to me.

And what about the people who can't afford to pay higher rents? It would be safe to say that I am middle class. I am single, work two jobs and go to school full-time. If they raised rents then where would I go? Just because I pay a lower rent doesn't mean i'm a bad person. I dont live downtown cause simply put, I cannot afford it. Should Jersey City be only for people who can afford 1200 a month for a studio? I am just curious as to your thought process.

Then that's just too bad. I feel your plight- I am in the same boat but its true that a few bad apples do spoil the bunch. And if that it what it takes to make a community safe for the majority of the population then so be it.

That story isn't true I'm one of the people who got locked up and the the events that took place never happened like that some of it is true but the cops locked up innocent people that night. The guy only got touched by two people and it wasn't no jump,one person took his ciggarettes and phone while he was sleep and one punched him in the face and held him in a chokehold for falsely accusing him for taking his stuff. The cops locked 9 people up because we Were on the same car and no one told them who did it. They are currently still holding someone for the crime that just didn't say anything to the cops, he did what your parents all ways told you not to do when you were young and that my friend is being a "tattle tale". This happened on august 7 2009 it's now april 2nd and he's still locked up WOW!!!

Coming soon, according to Mr. Noriega-Ortiz: a purple carpet to the sidewalk, bearing the Trump family crest in gold; white drapes in the reception area with purple liners; and the lighting of the top of the building to produce a purple-tinted glow.

Here's where I need advice: Clearly, I still need to get in to NYC, as I am lucky enough to have a job. That job, however, likes me to be on time and not full of blinding rage when I show up. Would taking the WTC-bound train be better? I was wondering if it would be less prone to these crowding issues, but am afraid that might be wishful thinking. I work near Columbus Circle, so I end up taking the NYC subway after I take the Path in anyway.

Thanks!!

I've refused the search, left the station (Grove St), got in a cab to Newport, got on the train, and it only took an extra 5 minutes.
