I wholeheartedly agree with the beauty of finally giving in and doing a wash and fold service! I gave in two years ago. I just wanted to throw in another recommendation: Time to Wash Laundry.

Easy online scheduling. Same day service (except for dry cleaning). Always on time! And when I'm running late, Daryl is super great about working with my schedule. Paypal billing. Love everything about it. Long live the wash and fold!

Went to Summit Auto based on recommendations from another JC thread. Was not disappointed. Seem like honest, reliable guys and now I only go to them.

Agree, Summit Auto is one of the best around.

Recently, I needed an emergency repair and went to Chariot Auto on 71 Coles Street between 4th and 5th Streets. It's just a block from my home.

Great price to replaced radiator, thermostat, and hoses. It was same day service, and Ricky, the owner, stayed an extra hour to finish the job. The job was a bit more complicated for my car, but the total was just under 400 dollars.

It's not too much of a schlep from Paulus Hook.

Those bins in the SR parking lot are a for profit private company they sell the clothes.
I use the Red Cross bins next to the firehouse on Marin.

I was all geared up for the Dickinson protest today, but I think the school and school board made the right decision to let school out early (hopefully avoiding large-scale student confrontation.) And especially considering the lackluster showing by the WBC in Hoboken yesterday, it seems unnecessary to take valuable time to counter-protest these folks.

I spoke with one lesbian student from Dickinson who told me that at least one group will be protesting. I imagine not too many JCers realize how diverse and (relatively) tolerant our high schoolers are, so it would be almost nice if the high school's gay rights group got a little press.

Finally -- kudos to the JJ for their piece on yesterday's protests. The tone was just right and I like that they left the WBC out of the photo.

It might not be good for the developers, nor for the Condo market, but they will likely just rent the unsold units out, which may be great for downtown - renters tend to be younger and "funner" than Condo owners. No offense! Just less baby strollers and more drinkers.

We are still much cheaper over here than Manhattan, and the best parts of Brooklyn & Queens. So it'll be rentals...

My husband and I were eating lunch on Grove Street yesterday when Frank Scalcione's (running for Ward E council seat) poster-bedecked minivan drove by blasting (and it was really, really loud) the theme song from ROCKY and garbled campaign rhetoric. It was truly one of those "only in JC" moments.

What I think they mean is that they will be opening a sales office in the area next month. Selling pre-construction.

Well you can add Morton Williams to the list of JC stores that are towing away their customers.

Today, Sunday, I parked in front of Morton Williams at about 6 PM, by 6:25 the car had disappeared.

After returning my groceries, I had to find a cab, and then fork over $152 (cash only, of course) to retrieve my car from the EZ Towing garage.

So that certainly was not the luxury shopping experience I had hoped for.

Buyer beware.

There is one waiting for the elevator on the 21st floor at Grove Pointe. This isn't the first time we've seen one here.

One time i found a ticket placed on my car that was for a similar model car, but clearly the wrong color. Some idiot probably hoped I wouldn't notice it and would pay their fine for them. Nice try. lol I looked HARD at that ticket, cuz I KNEW my car was legally parked.

That happened to me once... someone put a ticket on my legally parked car. But, the ticket was for public urination.

I couldn't figure out why someone would do that so your post clears it up.

Now, when you look at the many degenerates in the JCPD, it's ironic that both organizations generally draw from the same demographic group of cohorts in the population at-large.
