Re: St. Peter's Prep students stage 'die-in' protesting death of Eric Garner

Home away from home

Are you asking people to repent before it's too late?

If so, too late for what? The post-racial lovey-dovey society you see coming?

Here's an alternative scenario - mass murder and sterilization of Black America? I only suggest this extreme alternative since it has happened before. Germany. Given the I don't give a f!!k attitude about recent CIA behavior has gotten me thinking about the possibility of an internal Gestopo. Sorry to share my doom and gloom thoughts on such a sunny Saturday morning.

Re: Students at Jersey City high school: Spate of violence is related to race

Home away from home

You could probably dig up articles from December 1914 and the only major difference would be Jews, Italians, Poles, etc. instead of Blacks, Hispanics, etc. Maybe the weapons were less lethal, maybe not.

Re: Whole Foods in JC?

Home away from home

Maybe if we sign a petition we can get a Buy N Large here. Someone I know knows someone who got something there.

Also, why an Apple store? Wouldn't a place that sold a wide variety of fuits and vegetables be preferable, and mightn't an Apple store keep doctors' offices away.

I wish all new developments, especially in very commercial areas, would be required to have like 75% of sidewalk facing space built for retail. It would make places like Exchange Place so much more vibrant. It's really bad.

Are there any requirements for retail at ground level?

I've never tried the frozen pies you find in supermarket, but maybe some are acceptable. Maybe whipped cream or ice cream would improve them too.

Biting can result in blood in your mouth, not a good idea. I'm pretty certain you can catch more diseases, STDs and others, from blood than semen.

NYC mandates union labor. Dubai uses slave labor. That's how their building is only the fifth most expensive while ours is #1.

That is partially correct; PUBLIC projects are definitely union only. Private developers on private jobs are free to use open shop labor or union.

Burj Khalifa is a private project built by a private firm with private funding. Same with BoA. Even though it is in NYC, they can chose to use non union labor however most large companies do not as they do not want bad PR.

They don't want bad PR or they don't want their project sabatoged? I've heard plenty of instances of this happening.

Anyway the point is that the extreme difference in labor costs accounts for the total price difference. The article writer shouldn't be so shocked, especially for Dubai.

Can you give an example of a JC project sabotaged for not using union workers, I'm curious.

Union money is often part of a funding package, hence union workers.

Something I noticed while doing a project on my roof this summer. I had plastic components in bags:

Those store plastic bags, when exposed to sunlight, disintegrate fairly quickly. The paper bags actually outlasted them.

Oh, that's a know fact - those plastic bags are cheaper and pollute less than paper. And, of course, if they "phase them out" we will have to buy more trash bags instead.

But this is not about reason. This is about religion.
Bags must be phased out.
It's the Dogma

You seem to be circling a question I have. How is putting household garbage in supermarket bags environmentally different than using purchased bags? As far as bags on your roof vs bags in landfill, I suspect the roof gets more sun and rain. I'd also like proof that washing dishes is ecologically better than using disposible paper plates.

Where do you get Pizza Sheets? Are they made by Pratesi or Frette? Can you get them with anything other than pepperoni- some of my friends are vegetarian. Gluten-free? Whole grain? Tell me they come packed in a real cardboard pizza box and my day will be made.

On a happy note, the young fellow with the glasses and nice smile is back from China.

Maybe if we all protested outside the restaurant with salsa colored umbrellas they would reconsider.

Also don't understand why they don't open up one of those supermarkets in downtown jersey city, most of the people who are shopping there are from downtown jc anyway.

Good store, horrible location.

The current Target in Newport was an enormous Asian Market. Not sure why it closed but one rumor (not substantiated) is that Lefrak wanted to discourage Asians from moving into his project.

How can you tell where people come from? Is there some sort of DTJCdar?

Do I understand that this new place will also be called Mira Fruit Market but will be an Asian grocery? Since I only get to the one on 440 when my neighbor moves his car at 10ish, and we go for a spin, most of the fish and prepared foods are not ready. Looking forward to a place near a light rail station.

Avehicular since 1993 so excuse the dumb question - what's an oil change station? Anything more than a place where vehicules get their oil changed (which is horrible enough).

My favorite tree is the one in the PATH tunnel. It gets lit tomorrow or Friday. As I recall it can be seen right before the train gets to Newport from the left windows if you are facing the direction the train is moving. I have named that portion of track Lefrakefeller Centre.

If you look carefully you'll see the tree stays there, it is just not lit.

I was starting to think the Times couldn't publish a supposedly positive article about Jersey City's ascension without beginning it with something like: "Long considered the armpit of the universe..."

Steve spends a lot of money and calls in a lot of favors from his I Banking days to get these articles written, Ya know....

No I didn't, but so what? Good publicity for JC, not just DTJC. Had Healy called on his friends where would a similar article appear - AA Newsletter? The Journal of Naked Step Sitting?

Count me in, though I'd like to kick out all the public housing and homeless shelters to beyond "Checkpoint Stevie."

Au contraire - as a firm believer in noblesse oblige I would allow Hope House to stay.
