we walked by when the door was open, and asked one of the workmen what the deal was. apparently there's a water issue that's embedded somewhere in the slab....which is a foot thick. it'll take them ages just to find the problem, then more time to remediate it. Starbucks won't be reopening anytime soon.

"In 2017, Jersey City passed a ?no-knock? law, partly in response to complaints by some homeowners in the Greenville section and other areas of the city that they were being harassed by people wanting to purchase their homes."
Condemning the actions of a group of people behaving like brutes does not equal condemnation of the entire large, incredibly diverse faith that the group belongs to. This tiptoeing around the actions of the ultra-orthodox, for fear of being labeled anti-semitic, is how towns like Ramapo, NY lose control of their zoning and schools. When a School Board Victimizes Kids The timing of Terrell-Paige's post was awful, however, and had no place in this particular conversation.

people brought their kids to the fireworks, not the concert, then waited an extra hour with increasingly tired and cranky kids. not the worst thing that can happen at an event of this size, but still plenty annoying.

Timing a citywide event around the schedule of a man who's been high since 1982 was maybe not the best idea.
After standing around for an extra hour, the weary crowd that just showed up for the fireworks was less than enthusiastic once they finally got underway. I hope future 4th celebrations start the main event on time, regardless of when the musical act feels like showing up.

That would be super. Route-wise, Lutz was an ideal place to finish the ride. And they had the booze part covered, with several stations and lines. Repeat that formula with food, and you've got the perfect post-ride party. Congratulations on your 9th tour! We're already looking forward to number ten.

suggestion for next year: more food options, please. Lutz had one line for 1500 riders. it took over an hour to get food. the extra mile cocktail was nice, though.

There is a brand-new building at 222 First Street that was advertised as Luxury Rentals. One year after opening, nobody has moved in, and all of the units are listed online as short-term vacation rentals.

I have yet to find the way out of that Escher drawing. have given up trying, and just go right to street level and find my way to the PATH overground. another odd PATH/subway connection: the A/C. signs in the occulus point commuters towards the Fulton Street stop, which takes forever to find and involves numerous staircases. on the other hand, following signs to the E train puts you a short easy underground walk from the Chambers Street A/C.

what does Talde put in their drinks that propels their clientele to SCREAM all the way up Erie Street at 2am? booze usually makes me a little sleepy. Rolon's (the keyhole) has been across the street for fifty years, and you never hear boo from them. it is possible to have a bar in a residential neighborhood, when said bar isn't patronized by assholes. so yes, please Gringos, take our late-night Talde douchebags. we'll give you all the stars on Yelp if you do.

nice try, Godwin. pointing out the well-documented behavior of a very specific community is not painting with a broad brush. it's this "ooh we mustn't be seen as anti-anything" mentality that doomed the Ramapo school system.

reviving this thread, post Big Drum.
are there any new frame shops to give Gallerie Hudson and Grove Pointe Frame some friendly competition? has anyone used the frame service located inside Mana Contemporary? I've got a full-sized vintage lobby poster that needs to be mounted (or canvas-backed), and framed behind preservation glass. it'll be a rather spendy project, so I'd like it done as beautifully and economically as possible.
