Jim Fischer in Jersey City

And they still think $1 million for a townhouse in Brooklyn is a bargain! Having lived in Brooklyn for 20 years (Carroll Gardens), in 2010 my wife and I, wanting to buy, decided we could not afford Brooklyn. We found Jersey City Heights where we paid $320,000 for a 1910 Arts&Crafts townhouse (original moldings, staircase and doors in-tact, never painted over)! After refinancing and tax abatements (re-assessment and conversion to a single family) we now have a 2,200 square foot, four bedroom, townhouse with a huge backyard for 'out of pocket' (after tax deductions) o $1,100 a month. And my wife's commute to Wall Street is the same as it was from Carroll Gardens. Jersey City Heights is the best kept real estate secret in the New York area.

Decided to stop there for the first time, to take out a burger and fries. Was served by the rudest, nastiest SOB that ever worked in a restaurant. After being very patient with his nastiness, finally had to tell him F-U and walk out without the food. Anyone else with a similar experience there?

Guardian Angels? What a joke.
After they had their little press party and got their 5 more seconds of fame, I haven't seen a single one around at night or during the day... At least not in probably 2 months.
