It's not visible to the voter as its on the side of the machine, the workers were discussing it at the time I voted and trying to determine if there was problem with the machine. I believe lawyers were called to the location to sort it out.

Wasn't trying to bring it up as a political discussion. Was actually surprised when I found out his campaign was resorting to it and was wondering where it was going on in other parts of the city.

There should be live events in there at least twice a week. Movies should not be the focus - especially 90-year old movies that draw a couple dozen people. One weekend a year could be devoted to vintage movies, but why has that been allowed to become the dominant theme to the programming there? It's as though it is the private clubhouse of a couple people, essentially rent-free.

The divide is not coming from the healy camp, they are defending the rest of the city from the corporate takeover of jersey city.

I found the Healy campaign's comments insulting and divisive, and I'm by no means "corporate" -- I'm an animator who first moved to JC as a broke college student, so about as far from a finance worker as you can get. I've been here almost eight years now; this city is my home and I care about it. I definitely don't want to turn it into Newport, and I don't know anyone else who does either. But being told by my government that I'm not welcome stings.

I wonder what do you guys find wrong with Newport? I presume this is not a racist sentiment, but something else. What exactly?

The share of taxes that they pay is too big? The sight of those tall buildings is not as picturesque as it used to be with the old deteriorating piers, warehouses and rails? They do not contribute enough crime per capita?

No? What then?

Anyone know where the closest fabric store is that has a big selection? I've driven to Fabricland in No Plainfield but was wondering if there was a closer one?

Tried the 126 last night. The line was hundreds of people long as it's the only alternative late at night except for cabs. I wasn't gonna wait on that line.

126 to Hamilton Park, take the bus that says Hamilton Park via Hoboken Path, not only the Hoboken Path one.

Comes at 1020, 1115, 1230, not sure the next one.

I for one did not know that reality TV wasn't 1000% authentic. That's it, I'm going back to watching pro wrestling

Microcenter in Patterson.

Your best bet, if you value your time, is order from Newegg, and often Amazon has better prices (and usually don't collect NY sales tax).

The NJ Transit train can take as long as an hour and 15 minutes, but if you go during evening rush hour on an express train, a few stops get skipped and the trip is less than an hour.

There's one (skunk, not Corzine) that hangs out in the outside portion of the beer garden. I've seen him hanging out under picnic tables and scurrying around. I think he comes under the fence and lives somewhere along the light rail tracks.
