I was born in the Medical Center and have lived here since. I just had my son at NYU this past summer.... Wonderful hospital. I loved it...Honestly, you couldn't pay me to use a Hudson County Hospital. Just my opinion.

And, don't fret about getting there. I had my bag pre-packed and called car service. I was there in 15 minutes (of course, no tunnel traffic at the time).

Take a look at the US News rankings for your particular needs.

It's unfortunate. Hudson County is desperate need of a great hospital.

You're absolutely right. Let's get on Healey!!

This is such a frightening story. I have an alarm, but I am on the first floor, and this sort of thing keeps me up at night. I hope everyone is ok. But, yes, 2 kicks by a strong guy will break-down a regular door. A steal door is your safest bet. For, we, renters...barricade the door AND WE NEED TO INUNDATE HEALEY WITH LETTERS AND COMPLAINTS AND WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO GET HIIM TO HIRE MORE POLICE!!!!!!!!!!! True, JCPD are the worst! But, if there were more of them walking around, this sort of thing would be curbed. You wouldn't believe the statistics of where JC stands in terms of having a properly staffed police force for the size and crime ratio...And, Healy canNOT cry poverty...Please. With all of these builders!!! Where's the money going, Jeremiah??......If anyone rings my bell or bangs on my door at night when I'm home alone with my son, I'm calling 911. I don't care if it is a Charity collecting money at 11 pm....Come on! Best case, it's a drunk neighbor locked out or kids ringing for fun. Worst case, it's something like this or someone in trouble on the street. Better safe than sorry. And, there's lots of junkies and back there past 10th & Coles by the factories/the Shelter. I think these guys are not from anywhere down here, but still. Be careful over there.

I used Spotless Planet, and they were very good. I have a 7 month old, so I was glad to find them...She's Green, so no harsh chemicals around the little one....I was a little skeptical about Green Cleaning products (I'm a comet and bleach fanatic:o), but I hired them to do the kitchen & bathroom of my new apartment when I moved....(you know, heavy duty cleaning that's generally not done properly before a move), and it looks like the green products just as well as the regular stuff. I'll definitely use them again.

I just moved on the 1st and used "Spotless Planet" for the heavy-duty stuff - behind stove, fridge, cabinets, etc. She's out of Jersey City, and they did a great job....very accommodating and affordable. she's green also which is nice....
