I'm really looking forward to the Charles & Co block party tomorrow, simply because that building houses the only new retail in downtown.

restaurants are great, but is that all we're going to open now?

Why don't they emulate the Brooklyn Navy Yard and lease to creative small industry? I inquired for a friend losing her costume studio in Manhattan and was told they won't lease spaces under like 10k ft.

NJT has approved a new light rail station on 18th Street between Jersey and Grove. They are trying to get a developer to pay for it in exchange for building some towers.

The city has lots of plans for that area.

I agree there should be a pedestrian overpass on Marin and Jersey if not Manila as well.

Hoboken is also building a new walking path along Observer, and they have plans for towers on that stretch.

I love living in the area- best of JC and Hoboken, easy walk to PATH and bus.

no surprise that njt approved a tower there...i doubt developers would have built so many towers if there wasn't sometype of understanding that a station would get built there

So if overeating is a weakness, not a genetic propensity (which the AMA says it is) do you also put the same thoughts on, say, smokers like Obama? And do you also insult them like you do Christie for his choice?

'Fat' person? Do you also describe people by their color, or sexual orientation, in a negative way? Do you not have any friends, or relative, who are large? Do they know how you dislike them because of their physical attributes?

Fat is a choice, unlike those other options. He's also a man with means. He can choose to exercise or he can choose to be lazy, get surgery and he still couldn't even truly stick to a diet that would help him lose weight. Some people wear their weight well. Christie does not. His actions and behavior accentuates his disgusting nature. Spite, anger, bitterness... He's just an ugly person.

Let them have it. Naming JC "the 6th boro" is stupid. Calling JC that is an embarrassment. It doesn't make JC look cool it just perpetuates that NJ is full of kiss-asses who want to be just like NYC. We try so hard to act like that lonely kid at school who calls the cool kid his friend just because we sit next to each other in class. Every time I bring someone from out of state they laugh at how corny and ridiculous that nickname is. It makes people think less of the city. My friends and family who come always say the same thing after I tell them how its stupid: " Its just Jersey being Jersey".

Its not a name we should be proud of.

I love the denial. The primary reason JC is worth anything is proximity to NYC and de facto status as the 6th borough. JC should embrace this rather than fighting it like a rebellious teenager that doesn't want to be associated with their parents while still taking their cash.

They did look at Hoboken/Jersey City but could not find a good location yet (according to company spokesman Mr. Sinatra). A main factor affecting good location imo is accessibility. I wouldn't build a WF here unless I could plop it somewhere on Columbus.

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

The soaring price tag has also been fueled by the demands of powerful politicians whose priorities outweighed worries about the bottom line, as well as the Port Authority?s questionable management and oversight of private contractors.

i'm shocked. aren't you shocked? we should both be absolutely astounded at the news of this

Due to a track condition, Path trains will operate 20 minute around the world service with en route delays.

PATH can now take us around the world.

I'd assume that spot is too small for a restaurant? Wonder what will take it's place.

It would be nice if there was a good vision for the mall. Unfortunately I think it's here to stay :( I started a thread on this, entitled "the future of newport mall", a few years ago if you want to search for it on this forum.

Terrible finishes, terrible construction, not built to code (microwaves are super high), cheap HVAC systems - very high cost of operation. I can keep going. Unfortunate how shitty it is based on the location and the so called "experts" involved!
