Place is weak, they had no goodies to heat at home like stuffed cabbage, pierogi or soups etc.

I asked and got dumb looks.


This is the spot to load up at and worth the drive:

There are two things that make those helicopter frightening, first they fly low over JC. As an example, you can see them mid-way around the 10th story of St. Johns apt, they are very noisy. The second concern, if they were to crash in JC, they fly over at different points where the oil trains run in JC. Some chemicals in those oil trains are explosive. An accident in Canada with oil trains actually wipe out and entire town. It is one thing to have helicopters for emergency use or even for news but it is another thing to have helicopters over a populated area for tourism.

As usual, you never disappoint with your alarmist agenda and fake claims. No helicopter is flying over JC at 100 feet above ground.

You are absolutely wrong, it is obvious you are not in Journal Square. They fly low even near Dickinson High School. Neither am I wrong on the tragedy in Canada where an accident from an oil train destroyed a town. The helipcopters must pass oil trains near Tonnelle Avenue and below Dickinson High School. I am always amazed how little people know who sound off on this blog. Even the freeholders passed a non-binding resolution on the helicopters because they fly low over their buildings. too. Get a copy of the resolution, bodhipooh.

There was movement at this joint this morning. Contractors were inside and there is now a large sign on the Erie side of the building stating that renovations are taking place.

I assume that this restaurant has been given the green light by the city? Anyone have any further information?

That's great to hear! I almost don't care what kind of restaurant it is, any new option on the Northern side of HP would be great!

Huh? This restaurant would be on the southeast corner of Erie and Pavonia. Across from the school. Not at all the "Northern side of HP".

Any chance you can post the moisture rather than the wind speeds? I'd love to see where the plume is Friday evening through Saturday with the latest runs.

GFS and the Canadian model



From The GFS Model. Total Precip over the next 10 days:

Out of five weather models:

4 show a Cat 2 hurricane making landfall between N. Carolina and Virginia. It just becomes a rain event for us. Down south (Carolinas) though, some areas will get 20+ inches of rain.

The one outlier is the European model that even after the last update, still shows the hurricane banking to the east and going out to sea.

The pessimist in me thinks, "what if the actual course is something in the middle, bringing to storm right to us?" Models update again late this evening. Below is one model that represents pretty much what the majority shows (GFS has the storm making land farther south though). The second is the Euro.

Thanks all for posting these updates. Any idea of when (day/time) this may make landfall? I know it's this weekend, just wondering the time windows.

Yeah, I have access to super-fresh quality tuna for $17/lb. Patagonian toothfish, aka chilean sea bass for $19/lb. These are premium species; cod is not. We shall see about his prices and quality. I hope he can be competitive.

Kudos to them for charging $17/lb for cod if that's accurate. That's a reasonable if not cheap price for fresh,responsibly sourced atlantic cod. The cod supply is f**ked in relation to historical levels. When you buy random supermarket cod for 8.99/lb, chances are you're supporting a part of the industry that would catch every last fish in the sea by any means necessary, current and future stocks and bycatch be damned. Atlantic cod is one of the most overfished species out there. Do yourselves and your children and their children a favor-eat sustainably sourced cod and other fish. Pay a little more. It costs more to bring fish to market when you target a specific species and consciously decide not to catch every last fish out there. Or learn what else is sustainable. There are plenty of reasonanly priced options. Eat previously frozen fish-pacific cod is sustainable and delicious. Or eat something else. I love fish , probably more than most(I'm no Troy McClure though), but I've sworn off delicious, delicious toro and many other species. The technology used to hunt these fish is just way too advanced, way beyond sporting, and it's got to slow down. Don't be an entitled, cheap, consumer. Do 2 minutes of research on what's sustainable and what it costs, open your mind to other species, consider frozen fish. I'm a fisherman by the way.

Good news indeed.

How is his fish?

If super fresh then I will definitely be a customer (and a good one at that).

I wonder how feasible it would be to build out the waterfront on pilings in a couple places, to create parkland/green open space. I would think that it is in fact feasible, but I'm sure it's too costly to make it a reality. But it would be nice to see some proposals that address this.

Nothing wrong with saying something positive. But, there is a difference between positivism and accuracy.

As bill points out, other established restaurants right here in JC see the same product for less, and another (Lighthouse) for slightly more, and I know that Lighthouse is a great place. It's nice, it's upscale and I would gladly pay more for the same product while sitting at their very nice bar while listening to some piano (if someone is playing) while taking in the scene.

But, you must admit that even 2 farm-related stands (out of what? 12 or 15 spots?) does not constitute a FARMERS market.

So much misinformation...

There was ONE farm-related stand. The rest were prepared food vendors.
