Just comparing one area to another. I've been to 440 many times even know the shortcuts. Also it makes sense to go to the HD closest to where you live.

It really makes me sad how Downtown has now been given away to developers to such an extreme.

Boy their insurance rates be high. They may risk losing everything they worked for.

Downtown: Simple to get to, brightly lit, easy to navigate, less crowded, and actually don't mind the parking deck. Rt. 440 is a pain to drive on traffic can be a problem. Area is not as safe as the residential streets surrounding DT. Secaucus is depressing.

Downtown doesn't corner the market riding on sidewalks, the Heights has it's share of idiot adults and scrappy teenagers on cell phones hitting the sidewalks each and everyday. These are mutants that don't even have a pot to kiss in. When you are run down by them you get injured and they are gone scot free. Even if you do catch them they got nothing to offer. Always look both ways when exiting a business you might get clipped.

If you don't want to live in the city where you work, you should not be a cop. Jersey City is big enough and has many gated communities where you can live.

Some of the cops that patrol my area live in Society Hill but the majority live outside the city. There is also one officer who lives a few blocks away in a regular not gated home which I admire. We use to have the chief living right on Bayside Terrace(Bayside Park) which was nice.
We had no quality of life issues when a cop lived down the road from us here, but he retired and moved to a condo downtown Newport area. When all the police officers live down by the shore, then its a problem, especially quality of life issues.

I see the logic of moving out of the city or living in a gated community. Vandalism, or a backlash to the officer's family out of revenge. There are some officer's from out of town that apply here and continue to live out of town.

Absolutely ! They are on the list for the artist's tour in October they also have on occasion open house to see the works of the people that take art classes there. I had two large prints one on paper the other was a map on cloth framed there. Marge the owner was very helpful in assisting me in choosing a frame and matting for both of the prints I had. Marge is a staple in the Hudson County artist community please make the time to see and chat with her there is so much to learn.

Dopeness: Adjective used to describe the niceness, or awesomeness of a person, place or a thing.

Sounds like a relation to drugs to me, such as doping. The new term is more of an inner city ghetto slang as in "thats dope"

What's so tiring about it, unless they are working the polls, campaigning, or in a business that is affected by the election all a registered voter has to do is walk to their polling place AND VOTE ! And if that is too much trouble they can VOTE by absentee ballot.

It seems like the bad guys are taking their business out in the open and bringing down innocent people with them. I've been seeing this happeen more and more. They are shooting in broad daylight taking revenge where ever and when ever. Property owners and absentee landlords have to be carefull who they rent to. It's not good for the neighborhood.

The backyard is full of weeds. They're typical "flippers" except they rent instead of sell. I agree they bring the neighborhhood down.

Well you attributed to it as well. Did you call all 4 council persons and complain about the debris, the sleeping quarters, and non-permits ? Along with the illegal day laborers ?

Just don't buy an electronic fridge that is programable it has a circuit board in the back that is connected to the compressor that can fail. It is a $200 board that may be prone to failure. It will cost another $200 for repair. Get the olf fashioned tried and true models with a dial thermostat.

Prep is really not that diverse of a school, it is a Catholic, based school where it's students are of European based background coming from the same cut of cloth. Most of the families are from all over N.J. with a wad of wealth to push them forward. If anything it is segragated just like Jersey City into different pockets and tax assessments. Mc Nair/Academic has more of a diverse crowd equaly spread out amongst the new 4 basic groups that makeup J.C. And by the way they are still kids.

I think there is a guy in Bayonne that does professional fittings but the price maybe the same. I'd support the local shop then. Also I bet if you bought a new bike from them you would get a free fitting. Find out if you get to keep the fitting info when complete.

OK, so it's 50% + 1 of the people voting, not the votes, right? Getting 50% of the votes on a ballot where voters are asked to choose 3 candidates is (I think) mathematically impossible. The highest number of votes you could get would be 33.3% - if every single voter picked you as one of their three votes.

Say 50 people go to the polls and vote for each of the at-large candidates of their choice and either one or all three (you get to vote for 3) get 26 votes then that determines the winner.

Who are these people really hurting (other than themselves, maybe) and what will arresting them really do? It won't make the streets any safer. Don't tie up police resources with this nonsense, they have bigger priorities. Even if they are arrested and taken off the streets, someone else will replace them eventually. Just don't purchase their services if you don't like what they do.

What about the spread of STDs if not to the johns but to the loved ones around them. This becomes a public health hazard, thats how it becomes wrong.

So what did you do, keep the drink, switch the drink and pay the dollar more, or got the drink you originally wanted without change or just had nothing ?

Re: Mugging Warren Street

How can you let your guard down and become complacement ? The pocket known as Downtown J.C. is a target for easy prey the area is obviously more affluent then the rest of the city. Along with the mannerisms and dress code gives away an image of easy takings. The part of Pennsy bordering Jersey is becoming more and more crime ridden it is from the spillover since being booted out of the urban cities due to costs. I notice many license plates from PA. Some must have friends living there so they can get the discount. Be on the lookout for frequent muggings or at least attempted ones at that. I am glad they caught the culprits; technology rules!
