I know this thread is long dead, but here it goes...
I'm pregnant with my first child and would love to have access to a group of people going through similar experiences (especially for the opportunity to perhaps buy their used baby stuff). The activity requirement and the dues seem reasonable. What I don't like though is that this seems to be a mommy group rather than a parent group. Are there fathers involved/allowed?

I had my hair and makeup done at Aire salon on Grand for my wedding. Very happy with the results.

Sheesh, why so nasty? As an editor, I'm pretty confident my reading skills are sky high. And to your argument: sure, annual increases are limited to some extent for existing tenants but when tenants change, rent can increase as much as the owner wants, which usually brings the rent for that property inline with market value, which is based on the area's property taxes (among other factors).

how do you figure renters don't pay property taxes?? Don't you think rents and rent hikes are in direct correlation with property taxes and property tax hikes? By your reasoning, Jersey City rents should be much much lower.

My family has been eating there for decades! It's a wonderful, homey, uncomplicated dinner where we always know our waiter by name and they always ask how my grandparents are doing. I couldn't recommend it more.

Not a chance! The staff there are the friendliest bunch. I'm not a huge fan of the food (but I am very particular about pizza), we frequented there simply because they're so welcoming. They learned my and my fiance's names after two visits. And always greeted us by name after that.

I've been meaning to check out Taqueria for well over a year now but based on this thread, my motivation has been diminished. I have no opinion of the restaurant, having never been there but it has been recommended to me based on the food and the food alone. If that's all you want from a restaurant--good food--that's fine. If you want friendly service with your food, that's fine too.
My feeling is that, ultimately, being friendly isn't that hard and being unfriendly can cost you customers. The proprietors have a choice and, if what is written here is true, they've made one.

thanks for the responses. we've decided to make the move to vv. i will very much miss our current neighborhood but I can't do another winter with my current 15-minute walk to the PATH everyday (and that's if I'm moving fast). we're moving forward on a nice homey (read: not recently renovated) place with w/d and small backyard on a quiet side street for 1800. From what I've read here, that doesn't seem too unreasonable.

Van Vorst v. Hamilton Park?

Considering a move from the Hamilton Park area to the Van Vorst Park area. I'm partial to the former just because it's where we've lived and I feel a loyalty. Also, Hamilton Park this past sunny weekend was a delight. Wondering what people's thoughts on here are about the two different neighborhoods. Pros? Cons? Van Vorst prices seem to be higher.
Another question: what is a reasonable price for a not-renovated 1-bdrm with small backyrd. Oh, and there's a w/d in apartment which would be a first for me!! Thanks!

The Lenape. Ha! Maybe not that far back. My point was that anyone living in Paulus Hook shouldn't be surprised by crime since it was pretty rampant not much more than a decade ago. That's where we went to do naughty stuff in high school since it was a bit of a no man's land.

Re: JC to Bayonne???

I grew up in bayonne and spent many a summer as a camper at camp kadima at the JCC. that was in the 80s so I can't speak of it now but it was a good program then. As for Bayonne's reputation, it's just that...a reputation. No different then jersey's reputation t/o the country. it's been 14 years since i lived there full time but i would definitely move back if the commute to nyc was easier. the commute is easy (light rail to PATH) but it is not swift by any means. it's a 1/2 hour from bayonne to hoboken via the light rail. i'd be happy to answer more specific questions about bayonne.
