In this article by WSJ they directly reference talks of bringing in management companies such as Barclay's or Livenation. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/S ... 4644104579194303485873312 Of course FOL are pissed- I would be too. After years of scraping by and doing the best they could do with the building the city is talking about bringing in someone else to run it and reap the benefits. FOL worked their asses off to keep the building from being torn down, preserving and restoring the building as they could with few resources and volunteer labor for almost 30 years, and now JC wants to hand it over to a for-profit management company? This is disturbing. I've also never heard of a city running a theater before. Does it bother anyone else that they are prepared to spend millions on this project, when they could be spending taxpayer money elsewhere? Ideally, FOL should have bought the building from the city long ago and worked on getting their own grants to restore the place without funds getting held up by the city. What a mess.

Has there been an open Jersey City meeting regarding this plan to invest in this? Did I miss it? I feel like a little while ago it was a suggestion and now they are already asking for bids.
Seriously, has there been a meeting that I missed, because I feel people need to voice their concerns before this goes ahead. We don't want a micro-unit situation all over again.

If they want to see the statue of liberty and ellis island, I believe that getting a ferry from the Jersey side is preferable.. However, if they want to go inside the Statue they need to reserve special tickets like two weeks in advance.
I also suggest taking a walk down to the Colgate clock, or checking out little India. There is also a russian museum somewhere near the big post office.

I couldn't disagree more. I would rather my hard earned money go toward the community I live in. Hasn't Jersey paid more than enough for the WTC project which is going to be giving countless tax dollars and tourism to NYC? If I can spend my money here it will contribute to my state. I don't even care if Hoboken becomes one big nightclub, I would rather spend my money here. Jersey has such a bad rap, is known for nothingness, and we are so much their bitches to NY that how many sports teams in NJ are called "New York" this or that?

I think you need to get off the internets every once in a while and come down to Newark Ave. I would agree, Paulus hook is indeed kind of beige but certainly not Newport- which is mostly Indian, or Grove. In the heart of downtown there are several hispanic bars such as Latin Lounge and Music box and Roland's Keyhole and Jordan's is not beige, not to mention the Latin clubhouse on columbus, the Caribbean restaurant on Jersey and when school lets out, there is a very huge variety of colors of children. Perhaps you are getting confused because there is a large Polish community here as well as Russians (they even have the Russian museum), and though they might look beige colored they have distinct ethnic backgrounds and are a minority of sorts in their own right.

I dunno, JC was the ghetto for a long time, and still is in most parts. Its seems like arts and culture attracts the right people, at least that's what I've seen in Brooklyn. I don't think JC will ever be like Hoboken, for one it is a lot bigger, and it is not a college town. Believe you me, I do not like the idea of anything Hoboken-like. But they don't really have much in the way of places to go if you are not getting shwasted. I have never been to a gallery there, and the only venue was Maxwells. Its known for its sports bars with huge TV's and drunk yuppies who pretend they live in NY and tell people they just "sleep" in NJ. Egh Hoboken.

From what I heard from my realtor as to why I could not see any Del Forno listings with them when I was looking around is that they do not post anything of theirs on the MLS. They get listings and hold on to them until you go to their office so that they don't ever have to split commission with any other office. That seems wrong to me, I would never list with them.

MMmm.. I'm pretty sure its not the taps. The beers taste off because they now serve in plastic mugs that get washed and scratched up. The plastic totally interferes with the taste of the beer. You can ask them for glass when you go there, they will give it to you. From what I understand, when they first opened their really great glasses were constantly stolen and broken and a few months in they switched entirely to plastic. Its gross, after much complaining from people they now have the glass but by default give people plastic unless you ask for it.

If you do give them a check, I would put it on hold with the bank until you have a signed agreement, also get it from them in writing either by letter or e-mail as to why you need to give them a deposit before they present the offer to the property holder. What happens to the money if the property owner does not accept, or if someone else swoops in?

That is an impressive beer list. I might have to make a gift order for Christmas. I wish my family got me booze rather than more sweaters I'll never wear. I've got a lot of freaking sweaters.

I highly suggest you seek legal advice. There is obviously something wrong with the building or the unit that is supposed to deliver heat to your apartment. Call city hall and ask to speak to someone 201-547-500. It really makes me upset to think that you are living this way and someone is continuing to collect money from you as though everything is okey-dokey. There is a group in jersey city of just professionals that hang out and do events, volunteer and such. Many of them are lawyers, I would suggest reaching out to them on Facebook- Jersey City Ties. https://www.facebook.com/JerseyCityTies

I was thinking about that walking around this morning. I almost tripped 3 times. I really want to print up little flyers that say, "Hey asshole, salt your sidewalk before some trips and sues your ass." And put them on the doors of those people that haven't bothered to take care of their sidewalk.
Even better might be to get stickers, they would be annoying to get off and might consider that next time. Guerrilla ticketing!

Here is a NJ handbook for these things:
http://www.lsnjlaw.org/Publications/P ... Manuals/TenantsRights.pdf Check pages 30 and 36. I think if it is under 60 degrees on a regular basis in you need to send your landlord a letter right away just for the record if you have any disputes later. Some landlords can be a nightmare. I had an issue years ago where the water was shut off to my apartment because the landlord was negligent and only found out later that from that day I should not have been paying rent for each day if was off. In my experience, if it is not a matter that gets solved in a timely manner, seek legal advice. Don't just put up with these things and suffer quietly, people will walk all over you given the chance. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

Went here the other day for lunch. The ramen is somewhat overpriced, but good tasting. The only thing that I really, really, really do not like is the setting. It feels like a cafeteria rather than a restaurant, they need some color up in there. Even the outside with the circles being done is so much nicer than the stark walls inside.
And my #1 peeve is the windows. I walk by every day and I can see everything from the outside. Its like a fish bowl. I can see up skirts and into purses, its not pretty or pleasant. They need to frost the windows from the floor to table level, please!

I happened to be looking into schools around the neighborhood and I am kind of appalled.
http://www.zillow.com/jersey-city-nj/ ... 82®ionId=25320&zoom=13 I am noticing a distinct trend across people I have known in Jersey City over the years. As soon as people have children they move away. I love JC, but it the educational system around here seems to be falling behind. A family friend moved away not long ago and his children did very well in school. As soon as he moved to the suburbs in the summer his children took placement exams for public school in his new town. When the tests came back, it was determined that the kids were about a year behind everyone else in their grade and would have to be left back. He hired tutors right away and the kids spent two months catching up, but I thought- geez that's awful. What's being done about this? I'm young, but I would like to have children some time this decade and would hate to move away. I love JC, but I feel like there are not too many choices. I doubt I could ever afford Montessori.
