My bf's family has a house there and were told it would only close small sections of a beach at a time. This has been in the works already. It won't ruin a whole vacation. Updates are posted on the town's website. https://www.seasideparknj.org/2018/08/ ... enishment-project-update/

It's a Hoboken restaurant that moved to JC. I'm assuming their reduced hours allow construction while they are open.

I found it on YELP, but made the suggestion to Google on the "Add Website" section, so hopefully the owner will approve it.

Site updated in 2017 and lists the address on First Street so I assume it's the updated menu. It's very meat-based but they do have some cheese empanadas.

I was always taught that being a good Christian was caring about other people. Somebody was shot! Can't we just take a moment and stop worrying about our minor inconveniences like groceries? Thank God you were not the one shot and you have been blessed enough to afford a car and food. Let's all spend some time thinking about the victims who are probably in immense pain.

+1 for Judicke's. Great for cakes/cookies etc. for any celebration.

Well, they definitely weren't there yesterday. I moved to the corner of 9th and Manila. Yesterday, I was about to start walking across Manila on my way home from the mall and a car with NY plates came whizzing down and didn't even pause at the stop sign. I'm always wary of this intersection, especially at night. The need more enforcement there. Also, there's a lot of people that get out of the Holland Tunnel or off the Turnpike and use Manila/Grove as a highway to downtown. They need signs reminding drivers that they are entering a residential neighborhood, speed bumps, and sensors that show the drivers' speed.

I would stick with one person since it's going on the MLS anyway. You can always switch if it's not a good fit. Some agents won't even take your listing if you're working with other agents because they can work for hours on end and never get paid.

Yvonne, do you actually take the light rail? I ride it almost every day and not just to commute. I visit my friends in Greenville, go shopping, get to my gym, go to my doctor's office, attend my classes in Hoboken etc. I also split my time between my place in JC and my boyfriend's place in Bayonne and use the light rail to go back and forth between them as I prefer to not put more cars on the road. It's my main form of transportation.

Check Craigslist under the Parking section. I'm seeing a range of $100-$150 for spots near Journal Square. The cheaper ones are about 5 minutes away from the PATH and price increases with distance.

Thanks! That's really good to know! Usually I have to head to Mulligan's in Hoboken. Nice to have a walkable option!

Yvonne, not sure if your reply was in response to mine. I was just saying I don't think a playground is necessary. I think recess is absolutely necessary for children, and I feel like it's getting shorter and shorter. :(

I moved next to Cordero School. I'm not sure how long their recess it, but it seems to just be a bunch of kids running around on the sidewalk. They have a couple of balls to play with, but no playground or anything. Honestly, I don't think they're necessary. My elementary school didn't get a playground until I was 10 and our creative minds took over. As long they can run around and play, socialize, get their energy out it works. It's not gym class. I wish kids got more time to play now a days. That's how they learn how the world works. It makes it easier to focus on their lessons when they are in class.

Some buildings do not allow you to bring your bikes in your apartment. All must be left in the bike room.

I've lived in Harsimus Cove and Hamilton Park. Loved both neighborhoods. Didn't use a broker for either. I used www.padmapper.com to search. Good luck!

Only in Jersey City can we start a thread about refugees and bring up parking.

On a side note, I just returned from Canada. They looked at my passport and boarding pass. They did not ask if I had a job. They just waved me through. You don't need a visa to visit Canada. Of course you won't be able to work but nobody's stopping anyone from enjoying a nice vacation up north.

I start my tomatoes as seeds inside. As the days get warmer, I bring them outside during the day to get more sun, but bring them inside until there's no more chance of frost. We can have really hot days and still get a crop ruining frost.

We have to remember that we still live in a city. People do tend to have a false sense of security downtown. We had a break-in where the thief not only stole electronics, they also made out with the spare car key and came back the next day to steal the car. :/

Benanti's in Bayonne is delicious.

The post office downtown doesn't take pictures anymore. They send you down the street to the CVS in Harborside Financial. Quick and easy.

I've lived in 5 apartments within the last five years, and my landlords have never changed any lightbulbs (even high ceiling ones). My boyfriend is a landlord and he doesn't change those either. He will, however, come in every few months and change any necessary filters for the heating system and fridge. Those are considered preventive maintenance while lightbulbs are consumables.

Amazon Fresh is now available in Jersey City. Haven't tried it out yet, but I will soon as I agree FD has gone downhill. Their delivery times are not consistent at all anymore.

I'm a big fan of Alex's for dinner (not a run in pizza slice). My bf and I go regularly and I'm a big fan of starting with some pasta fagioli soup and then pollo all giambatta. Everytime we pass, we can't stop laughing because the owner will exclaim every single time, "Very fresh, very delicious"! Plus, it's byob and I'm on a budget so not complaining.

Used the passageway to catch the 4 uptown on Saturday. Since this transit hub is now a touristy place, it was ridiculous navigating the crowds of shoppers, gawker etc. The worst was the people just sitting on the stairs, oblivious to the fact that it's a passageway to the subway.

I know it's not JC, but Mulligan's in Hoboken opens early for all the EPL games and they leave the sound on. http://mulligansonfirst.net/
Been there before to catch a few games, and I really wish we had something like this is Jersey City.

I am happy that they started enforcing that stop sign on Grove and 9th. I cross that intersection at least 2X a day and cars were literally rolling on right through and not letting me cross.

I was really disappointed that they don't have combo plates. All sides are a la carte.

I've had enough of contacts and want to get Lasik done. I went for a consultation in Manhattan, but I'd prefer somewhere closer since someone will need to come with me to take me back home. Can anyone recommend any good Lasik doctors in Hudson County, preferably in JC? Thanks!

Some background on Munchery. http://www.businessinsider.com/munchery-2015-3
I use it about once a week and I love it.

I enjoy Riverview Park, but there's no parking there.....
It's called the Light Rail.
