Totally agree. Other sources when the check valve is closed include waste water from inside the building (especially if there are multiple units in it), and sump pump discharge. When the city sewer is full and pressurized, there is nowhere for this water to go except backward, where it looks for the path of least resistance - which could be a floor drain, toilet, tub or any other opening in the line between you and the sewer. Tell your upstairs neighbors not to flush when it's raining ;)

Open houses are a pain but they drive foot traffic into the unit, which is much more effective then photos on a website. I would do a few of them, and put up flyers all over the neighborhood on the day before and morning of the open house. Make sure it's a warm, sunny day :)
Sites like FSBO.com can get you advice, materials and MLS listings. Make sure you have a real estate attorney already lined up to draw up contracts, review offers, etc.

We went with Petrocci Agency on Kennedy Blvd - (201) 434-4760. 1/2 of our house is in the flood zone, so effectively the whole thing is. They set us up with both homeowners and flood insurance. Satisfied with the agent. Not happy to pay flood insurance premiums because I think the whole thing is basically a scam, but we have to have it to get a mortgage, so we do. I have a poor memory, but I think policy is with Travelers.

This would be a bit more challenging with an infant, but feasible. I did it this past Sunday:
1. PATH from Newport to 33rd 2. Walk 1 block to 33rd & 7th 3. NYC Airporter bus from that corner to JFK It was not fast. From Newport to JFK it was about 2 hours (partly due to a lane closure at the Qns Midtown Tunnel that backed up 2nd Ave.) But it was inexpensive - under $20.

There are plenty of trees that are suitable for planting in urban sidewalk locations. I would hate to live in a city with nothing but container plants. You need to mark out utilities (gas, water, sewer, electric) before you choose a location and think about root spread and depth, but there is no reason not to plant trees with a little common sense and planning.
They don't have to be towering oaks, sycamores or sugar maples. Trees that will do better around overhead lines (and probably sewers and sidewalks as well) include hornbeams, cherries, smaller maples, crabapples, dogwoods, flowering plums, honey locust, littleleaf lindens, and the list goes on. Plenty of choices to suit a given location. Trees - bring em on!

I don't know if you can call the stop at York/Jersey "new." My memory is hazy but I think it's been there for at least a year now.
Quote:
I've been guilty of missing new stop signs like this, until the road gets marked. Even then - it's easy to appreciate that new stop signs just don't register with drivers that frequently drive a route. Spending a little money on beacons or blinking leds on the new stop signs would be worth it. http://www.coralsales.com/images/imag ... 20Sign%20Beacon_large.jpg http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/ ... ds/blinking-stop-sign.jpg [/quote]

I know that marina and I can't for the life of me think of where there would be a sheet of plywood, at water level, accessible to the public. The pier itself is open, although there is a guard shack, but the docks are gated and locked. What could he have been doing there in the middle of the night, unless he was sleeping on a boat (and I don't think Newport allows live-aboards).

It looks like a great park, but it's too bad they didn't or couldn't include a track. There should have been room since they included a football field. It would be nice to have a decent 400m track here, especially with the one in Lincoln Park under construction. Guess I'll keep going to Weehawken.

In a related development, I just got a letter from Suez/United Water which basically looked like a hard sell for insurance to cover repairs to the water line to my house. They're looking for about $9/month (forever I guess) to insure me against any necessary repairs. They used scare tactics in the letter (like telling me it could cost thousands to repair the water line if it ever breaks) and it left a really bad taste in my mouth.
Not sure if this is a legit and helpful new development, or just a private utility company looking for new revenue streams. Now I'm worried they're going to send out the goons to break the line "accidentally on purpose like." Anyone else get a similar letter?

Probably like a lot of other people on this board, I was standing on the waterfront in JC (right next to Starbucks) when the WTC collapsed.

Re: Montessori School on 17 Erie Street is NOT a Montessori School !! |

My daughter attended this school briefly when she was a toddler (years ago under the previous director). We had challenges, as you would in any school, but none related to whether or not it was a "real" Montessori school.
Questions; if the name Montessori is in the public domain, what makes the American Montessori Society any more an arbiter of what a real Montessori school is than the director of this individual Montessori school? What if this one is more like a real Montessori school than those that are members of AMS? I think the only lesson to draw here is that you need to visit any school you are thinking of putting your kids into and evaluate it for yourself.
