I just love these people that wait until it's dark to take the dog out for a walk. They walk up and down the street by the embankment all the time and as soon as the dog poops they hurry away. Well it's dark and no one sees you? So why pick it up? Some of these dogs weigh more than I do and in the morning I see what is left behind. Some people think it is gross to pick it up - it's worse if you leave it there!

I can still tell which PATH train I've just missed at 23rd Street simply by looking at who's left on the platform.

That's funny. I determine which PATH train should be next the same way.

I was wondering if you all could help me. I'm looking for an apartment in DTJC but require certain amenities. First things first, NO KIDS! I can not stand to be annoyed by kids in parks playing ball and certainly will not tolerate teens out past curfew. Secondly, I must be within a few blocks of a high end supermarket such as trader joes or whole foods. To see Goya on the shelf absolutely disgusts me. Last but not least I must have complete silence. How dare the rest of the world live while I attempt to stock up on beauty rest! I refuse to pay top dollar to live a few miles from a City that Never Sleeps and still hear all their shinanigans. So if any of you know of any vacant farm houses in DTJC please reply. I know this seems like a lot to ask but I deserve all of it.....dont I?

nteresting to see that Mayor Zimmer is assuming this is all about Hoboken when a majority of the redevelopment falls in JC, where's our fearless leader Mayor Healy?

NJTransit seeks to undertake the redevelopment of the Hoboken Terminal and Yard Redevelopment Area pursuant to the Transportation Act in order to maximize the economic potential of the Hoboken Terminal Redevelopment Area, increase revenue and ridership and promote mixed-use development in accordance with the principals of transit-oriented development. In furtherance of such, on October 27, 2005, NJTransit entered into a Master Development Agreement with LCOR Hoboken Rail Station Redevelopment, LLC (?LCOR?), for the purpose of undertaking the non-transit related development of the Hoboken Terminal and Yard Redevelopment Area. The area of interest includes 52 acres of land within the City of Hoboken, including Block 229, Lots 1 and 2, and Block 139, Lots 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, 3 and 4 on the tax map of the City

So you also continued to serve after you?d decided to plead guilty. You resigned last week instead of, say, last month, thereby avoiding that messy little thing called democracy, in the form of a special election to decide your replacement. ?Disgraceful? doesn?t come close to describing your actions.

"It's not a happy day for Mariano or the people of Jersey City,'' Willis told reporters after the hearing.

Former Jersey City Councilman Mariano Vega pleaded guilty this morning to accepting bribes.

Vega, who resigned from City Council yesterday, appeared before U.S. District Judge Jose L. Linares and admitted to accepting bribes from Solomon Dwek, a real estate developer turned government informant. Vega admitted that he took the money in exchange for helping Dwek secure approvals for a purported development on Garfield Avenue.

Vega, 60, admitted to accepting $20,000 in bribes and agreeing to accept another $10,000 in July 2009 from Dwek.

When Linares asked him how he pleaded this morning, Vega responded, "Guilty, your honor." In pleading guilty Vega agreed to forfeit the $20,000 he accepted from Dwek.

Vega faces 30 to 37 months when he is set sentenced Jan.7. Had he not pleaded guilty today, his case would have headed to trial Oct. 12. Following his arrest in July 2009, the county suspended him from his $128,244-a-year-job as director of the Department of Parks, Engineering and Planning. During the court proceeding, Linares said that the U.S. Attorney's Office sent Vega a letter detailing the plea agreement May 26. Afterward, Vega's attorney, Peter Willis of Jersey City, confirmed the May date, saying that was when talks began. "It's not a happy day for Mariano or the people of Jersey City,'' Willis told reporters after the hearing. "I was hopeful that we could litigate this case but in the end I had to do what was best for Mariano and his family.'' Vega was noticeably shaken when leaving the courtroom and declined to comment.

Ok - let me summarise the wiki for Sinik, CC and icechute who don't seem to be able to read nor comprehend. The percentages of crime show little relative differences between races on commiting crimes. But guess who gets arrested the most? And Sinik, 2008 is 2 years ago, not 20. If you guys have something useful to say other than your stereotypical opinions, please back it up with some facts.
