I thought the street fair had great turnout, as well as very interesting vendors - much better than the standard "street fairs" in manhattan.

however, it was so many people, it was hard walking through Newark (between the stalls, people just walking/browsing, and people lining up to get stuff, kids, strollers, dogs, etc). Perhaps the organizer would consider moving the event to wider streets next year?

Next time around, find out if there is a mortgage. (I think it appears on public tax records). Mortgage holder will inform the insurer. I also think that there is no objection to replacing bluestone sidewalks with concrete, even in histy distys.

I'm not sure why they couldn't...just do like they do on NJ transit and make sure people know that certain cars don't let off at certain stations. It's easy enough to post stops on each car etc.

I still dont understand how so many people can be opposed to an extension that to me makes perfect sense. A direct link from WTC or 33rd street to the EWR Airtrain, much like the A train goes to the Airtrain in JFK. How is this a bad idea as opposed to getting off and transferring to a bus or a Nj Transit train to go one stop?

Saw yet another new station yesterday at the corner of Jersey Ave. and Newark. They sure put it far away from the curb -- when the bikes go in there will be roughly 1/2 of that wide sidewalk area for pedestrians.

This place is going to attract fat. unhealthy people or very young people who can care less about consuming fried chicken grease by the quart.

I've never understood this mentality. Who has a diet so strict that they can't eat some fried chicken or mac and cheese every once in a while, if they want to? Fat, unhealthy people eat like this every meal, every day - but, it's plenty easy to be in good shape and good health and eat like this once or twice a week.

While the place is empty, go upstairs and walk around with a pair of shoes on and someone listen underneath and then vice a versa.

It is probably noisy as hell.

Shitty or old floors are like that in old or porrly made buildings, one reason smart landlords live on the top floors when occupying their own buildings.

One of the only sensible posts in this thread. My tenant weighs 110 lbs soaking wet & you would think Godzilla was stomping through.

PATH installed 8 6x5 billboards permanently affixed to the middle of the Grove station. Unbelievable taking up so much space on an already crowded platform not to mention the reduced space for their two year elevator project. PATH "Tear down this wall !"

So, here's a new side-effect of "restaurant row" we get to enjoy all summer:

When the places close down at 2/3am, their customers stroll in packs through downtown towards their cars, talking loudly, shouting to each-other across the street, completely oblivious to the fact that they're in a residential neighborhood.

I've noticed it increasing as the weather warms up.

At 3:30 this morning, I had to go down and tell a bunch of grown men and women - sitting on my stoop - that they were having their loud conversation right under several open bedroom windows. They seemed surprised and were apologetic, and quickly took it elsewhere. So no drama, but....seriously?

I see no simple solution to this.

I see solutions

1) close your window and turn the AC on. You don't own the street.

2) move, I hear lubbock texas is quiet in the summer

Hope they did not make it into the Cambodian soup.

I've eaten dog in Northern Laos and will say it is a tad chewy.

M'kay sunshine, I've only been in the region for 20 odd years or so. I'm nearly fluent in only a couple of SE Asian languages.

BTW - the black colored dogs are considered more tasty.

I had the bibimbap and enjoyed the flavor of the meat. However, the rice was cold! Is this normal for korean food? I thought perhaps it was the end of the day and didn't bring it up to the management.

Lots of kids blast club and R&B just as loudly. I don't mind him much since he only seems to come around every few weeks or so in the warm weather, and never late at night.

I would like some input from folks on jclist if you have time.

If you knew that a real estate agent was held in an ethics violation for dishonesty, and was then PROMOTED by the real estate agency, would you trust that agency going forward?

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this question.

If, say, Downtown Hardware were to close because of astronomical rents, would a chain hardware store take its place? Probably not. We'd get a Baby Gap. I don't see how that would improve downtown.

So we shouldn't do anything "you" don't see as being good for downtown right?

If baby gap opened and was profitable that still would not matter because you don't see it as being good?

You related to Julius Cesar in any way?

If Fulop truly cared about JC's small businesses, he would take steps to reduce the dramatic obstacles and red tape a small business owner faces when trying to open a business. And he would at least attempt to reform our woefully dysfunctional Buildings Department.

But he doesn't really care so instead we get splashy proposals he can cite to as proof that he is the best Progressive candidate for Governor to lead New Jersey forward.

Correctomundo!

We got rid of cops on bikes and now we are getting rid of motorcycles cops. It is a bad idea. They see things that cops in cars cannnot see and they can get to incidents better than cops in cars when there is a back up in traffic. I have seen this happen.
