Ah good to know...thanks everyone! This group is always so helpful.

I've been seeing them around the neighborhood lately. Red square signs posted on boarded up buildings, says F/O then some numbers like 401...one at Palisade and Hutton, a couple on Ogden.

Are these going to be developed? Or bank or government owned?

Just wondering if anyone knows what it means. Would love to see them improved!

We have a leather sofa bed that is sinking because the bedframe is broken.

The bed is not functional, so I'm wondering if anyone would be able to remove the bed and covert it to a regular sofa?

Any ideas who could do this?

Thanks!

I heard that someone was killed next to Palisade Liquors in Jersey City Heights on Palisade Ave near the corner of Hutton. I noticed a vigil one night and graffiti on the wall with dedications to "Ray Ray"..."RIP Ray Ray", etc. They paint over the wall's vigil, but more return with candles and flowers.

I've been looking for information on what happened since this is around the block from where I live.

Does anyone know what happened?

Last Wednesday I got to the gate at 6:15pm. The 99S didn't show up until 6:40pm. Then the bus driver drove right by Congress and was alerted to his mistake by the passengers. He then decided to make a k-turn in the construction parking lot of the Cliffs.

It was hilarious and pathetic all at the same time. Watching this poor bus driver trying to turn the bus around in a small, dirt lot. With a few construction workers trying to block traffic so the bus could pull out onto Paterson Plank Road. It seemed like the tires were spinning in the dirt and the construction works were risking their lives with cars flying down the road. All while a busload of passengers are waiting to get home safely.

Finally after almost 15 minutes, we were going back up to Congress and the people on the bus continued to direct the driver where to go! I'm so glad that they trained their drivers on the new route! This was truly a well thought-out plan!

I didn't notice any additional jitneys this morning, but at least the regular ones were running (unlike yesterday). Since the 99S is re-routed, will there also be jitneys running into the city from Central? It was easy to walk to Palisade and pick up a jitney when the 99S didn't arrive on time. Now I'd hate to walk all the way to Central for the 99S which won't show and then be stranded there waiting without another method of transportation.

Wouldn't it be smarter to have the multiple buses running multiple routes? The buses into NYC are usually more crowded than the NJ Transit 87 or 84, so I think the need is there. I don't understand why JC would re-route instead of adding additional buses. Towns like Hoboken have both NJ Transit AND Academy buses running down Washington and Clinton during rush hour.

People are moving to the Heights because Hoboken is overpriced and overcrowded. They need to realize the growth and potential of this area and start supporting the community as a whole.
