please excuse my ignorance, but how does a stretch of bumpy red plastic assist a person with disabilities? it makes for a rough ride in a wheelchair, and could probably trip a blind person.

someone just ran the stop sign at first and Erie, and hit a bicyclist (who was going the wrong way). no injuries, miraculously, but who's more at fault here?

wow doglover. kinda defensive, aren't we?

look, it's a gorgeous day. why don't we all take a walk?

(I'll do mine for free, thanks.)

so let me get this straight: if I hire a dog walker in JC, I can expect her to walk him 2 big blocks to Van Vorst and let him loose in a muddy dog run, so his paid "walker" can stand around yakking with her fellow professionals about how impatient the other park patrons are?

sweet deal. where do I sign?

I'm curious about this new trend on JClist, wherein someone calls out a douchey dog owner/walker on his/her behavior, and then a slew of new posters jump in to swear that it never happened.

I like Wayne, the guy who stands in front of Dunkin Donuts every morning. what makes him weird is the fact that he is unfailingly polite and never fails to greet me with a big gap-toothed smile. okay, not weird. just rare.

as a result of the removal of cans from my corner a few years ago, my delightful neighbors started dumping their trash next to my stoop (I live on the corner). so what happens next? I get a ticket from the city for failing to keep my sidewalk clean.

true story.

I like MBV but would never see them live again after their wall of sound left my ears ringing for weeks in the early 90s. I was seriously worried that I had permanent tinnitus. great way to reward your fans.

wow, before I got to the "NOT," you really had me convinced...

how about "the majority of JC voters stayed home on election day, so we got the representation we deserve"

too wordy?

you must be confusing the immigrants with the born-and-raiseds

and then hold your breath.

this place is consistently empty. if you really love it, GO THERE. and tell your friends. don't let Sava become the next beloved former JC jewel.

what could a lone fireman without emt equipment possibly have done to save someone from severe head and body trauma?

I'm glad he chose to chase the jackasses who were at fault.

I stood next to Elvis Costello for a photo once. my induction into the R&R Hall of Fame shouldn't be far off...

Alan - that is a great idea! and would definitely benefit the neighborhood.

which is why the city planners haven't thought of it.

"d?me el perro. Tengo el n?mero del INS en dial de la velocidad."

another wreck just occurred at the corner of 1st and Erie (everybody's okay).

this time, however, there are no cars parked at the corners, so no one was blocking the view of the guy who was (supposed to be) stopped at the stop sign.

people are swell.

I know they said May, 2009 for this thing, but I just walked by and it looks woefully incomplete. any updates?

here we go...

Arnold Diaz accomplished in 5 minutes what Joe Frank couldn't do in a lifetime: he brought out the truth.

as a Jersey City resident and animal lover, I am ashamed.

pantsy, you made your point: no mistakes were ever made under the Bush administration.

I too would love to know how you can "guarantee this would never have happened under President Bush."

please, enlighten us.

or you can simply look up to the overhead wall, which clearly states "uptown - 33rd" or "downtown - New Jersey"

but yeah, would be nice if the trains were correctly labeled.

my thoughts exactly! Carbajales had (has?) a contract to pick up strays in North Bergen, and still has one with Union City.

looks like he and the missus have been busy.

I took a nice detour to WTC the same way. got on the 33rd St train at Grove, headphones on, nose in a book, didn't hear or see "next stop Exchange Place."

good times.

we've got it on first street, though we weren't offered the $5 internet upgrade.

not sure it's needed, as the regular speed is still much faster than Comc-assed

when I lived in LA I was a short drive from three bustling, thriving knit shops, all in high-rent districts, and none with food.

good yarn is pricey. a comfy place to gather is priceless.

I think it has a good chance.

jclxz steals shopping carts!

so sue me.

Hoboken's soccer field at Sinatra Park was re-done for $300 thousand (no-bid contract), which brought about a bit of an uproar among those who don't own cleats, but pay taxes.

who knew they were getting such a bargain?
