That just made me a laugh out loud.

My mom used to drive us to the Garden State Plaza (when it was an outdoor mall) in her Grand Prix, smoking her Vantage cigs with the windows up and drinking her Tab all the way, and then leave us in the car in the parking lot while she went to Bambergers.

?I was disgusted that I was going through this ordeal, [the police] had taken my shoelaces, they had taken all my possessions,? Lipski said, ?and I had wounded a night out for my friends coming down to D.C. They missed seeing Dark Star as a result of my selfish behavior.?

Lipski also worried whether his friends would be in any trouble, and how to break the news to his wife.

I remember my parents and older members of my family often mentioning that they have a "plot". A place to be buried. It was a big concern in the old days. Planning for the future. Everybody had to have a "plot" lest they be buried in Potter's field or just thrown in the gutter to rot. Oh the shame of it to die without a plot! What would people think? They might not own a house or a horse or a car or a pot to piss in but they hadda have that "plot". I think a "plot" will accomodate 6 people comfortably, stacked 3 high. It's nice to decompose with family members. Anyway, I think all my family "plots" are full up, standing room only, so I don't know what they're gonna do with me. I have casually mentioned to family that I wouldn't mind being incinerated, it's much cheaper and there's no perpetual upkeep cost. Does the JC Incinerator Authority do this? So here's the question. Does anybody here have a "plot"? Do you plan that far ahead?

I was told by my 80 year-old aunt that my great grandparents are buried here, as is my grandfather's brother, his wife and young son. I am outraged and want answers NOW. I too call the cemetery three times in August and no one has had the decency to return my call. Besides findagrave.com, is there any compiled lists of names of who is buried here? I may have to go grave to grave to try to locate them. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

I think the expansion to 1,100 units is a total lie.

They are having problems selling existing units because there is no neighborhood to speak of in the immediate vicinity, so in order to sell the units they claim they will create a new neighborhood in the future.

You cant even quote it correctly, click on the link and you will see that it says: "Curbside collection is provided twice a week, including holidays. Materials must be tied or placed in containers and placed curbside no earlier than 7:00 PM the night before your scheduled collection day." That's night not day, it can be interpreted several ways, and where is it written that this is the law? Exactly what statute is it? The web site doesn't say. When you go to court, reference the web site, surely your summons will reference the law (by statute), bring a video camera, we all would like to see your face when you discover what the law really is.

Hurtle's 27 hour window sounds great, but I'd like to see someone win that one in court!

"Mr. Hurtle, we define day as midnight to midnight rather than your quaint dawn to dusk definition, therefore if your garbage might possibly be picked up before midnight the earliest it may be put out is 7 that evening. Case closed, pay the bailiff".

How about returning to the actual topic.

The change of pickup time actually creates hardship for some people. The law should be that placing garbage out be "no more than X hours before pickup time", X being a reasonable period. The change in pickup times here changed X from ~10 hrs to 3 hrs. I have tenants with evening restaurant shifts who simply can't hit that 3 hr window to put out their garbage since they work a 4-12 pm shift. This doesn't seem fair or rational to me.

Thanks Brewster for posting the most succint, coherent analysis of the problem with the new garbage pickup times.

I plan to bring this up at the upcoming HCA mtg. and hope other neighborhood groups, HPNA, VVPA, HPHNA, NNA and others discuss this as well and recommend change allowing garbage to be placed on curb earlier in the day OR pickups need to start later (say after midnight at minimum or later as before).

As Brewster points out above, we went from having 10+ hours to place garbage on curb (7Pm until 5AM+) to having minimum of only 3 hours (7PM until 10PM is beginning of pickup). This is unreasonable as many persons working different shifts have only this 3 hour window now.

Hurtle, what did the police have to say about that? Surely there is a way to have a court order that the tape be handed over. This is about the 10th time I have heard a story about tape of a crime not being handed over in Jersey City. Certainly I would expect someone who owns a security camera to not hand the footage out except under court order. But I would also expect a court to readily order this if there is good reason to believe that evidece of a crime is on the tape.

You have to be fcuking kidding me. Camera's for dumping trash in public trash cans, but Cops and City Hall don't have camera's to make our streets safer from being mugged, robbed or people with ass driving skills and total disregard for road rules. Stupid cop bosses and stupid council and a stupid use of resources that should be directed to more important issues.
