I didn't vote for Healy, but I don't understand why he conceded when only 15% of the votes had been counted. I guess I'm used to Hoboken elections that have 5 runoffs and 2 fistfights.

This is sad but their franchise in Hoboken was way better. For what the JC IGTM chargrd, there were much beter places to eat.

I love the saxaphoneplayer near Sawadee. His playing there is asign of spring/summer in JC. His playing is so melancholy and evocative. I miss it when he's not there. I think he is a JC icon.

It doesn't matter who the mayor is - JC is long overdue for a re-eval. The real question is why hasn't the city been keeping up with them (and therefore avoided the sticker shock effect). I do think now is as good a time as any to do it since property values have dipped.

With regard to the issue of evaluators using pencil and not giving property owners a copy, PHOTOGRAPH the diagram/notes they wrote for a record. They left us a door tag andwe have an appt for a 5/3 look-see.

McGinley Square by St. Peters College is reallly quiet.

There's a jewish community in Jersey City?

There is live music uptown in McGinley Square, good if you like jazz.

Vindication: I live in McGinley Square and walk to PATH daily. I've only been killed 4 times. You don't live there. You're info isn't accurate.

@kingster, I have no idea what your landlird is smoking. You can beat that price easily.

@Monmouth man, for al intent and purposes the PATH is running from JC to NYC as it did pre-Sandy. The weekend closures of the wtc line is due to construction at the freedom tower and wtc PATH stop in Manhattan. As for that scary walk thru the ghetto from jsq to Montgomery Ave., honestly stop being a lazy pussy. I've done it for years, multiple times per day and have never had an incident. Guess you're scared you'll run into me.

Teppan makes a great lobster and mango sushi roll. Robongi in Hoboken is fabulous.

The ones by Pathmark, just before you turn into the parking lot from the Kellogg St side are in full effect.

Actually, the jitneys run 24 hours. They are just limited after 1:30 am

Having just composed a semi yuck dinner of rice, tuna, canned veg and capers, a girl wonders if any supermarkets are yet stocked with the glory of cheese and/or meat......

anyone know?


We also can't find an open pharmacy that can fill prescriptions....

The jitney bus from platform b at JSQ is a good option. I took it this morning and there was no line. They leave as soon as they fill. The one drawback is the meandering path it takes thru Union City (up to 30th St) before heading through Lincoln Tunnel. Coming home there was no wait. Full disclosure: I work school hours so I was at JSQ around 6 am and in PABT around 3:15 to go home. The 2/3 trains are operating fine as well. For the person who needed a late night option to go home, these jitneys leave gate 51 from PABT up to 1 am. The PATH will stop at 10 pm. Hope this helps.

I never see buses/vans along jfk. Is this to cover the PATH shortfall? Do they pick up at any corner if you flag tnem down? Thanks.

At Kelcey + Bricks - yes, I do consider overall atmosphere (which includes patrons) in my decision about whether or not I want to hang out at a given place. F me! Roskoe, agree with you about the service. Like much of attempted B/L, MAE was all attempted style and no substance. I did enjoy their eggplant app, so I just make it at home.

Perhaps they are undergoing a much needed attitude adjustment. When we visited, I was nauseated by the pretentiousness of other patrons. One person actually announcing she was famous, another person stating she couldn't believe people didn't know whatshe herself was famous for. --Color me Clueless

This sounds great.

How does ticketing work? Are shows clustered together - $6 for a few of them? Or is it $6 for each individual performance even if they run back to back? Thanks for the info.

I did expect this place to be a bastion of assholery and did not go there for the first year or 2 it was open. However, in recent visits I've enjoyed it very much.

No, F amazon. There's always overstock.com

People aren't asking the most important question. ?....... How is a city employee driving a lexus?

Hi,
Does anyone happen to know which contract agencies supply occupational therapists to schools in Hoboken and Bayonne? Thanks.

-bbq duck quesadilla at Embankment, especially during their daily happy hour when it's 1/2 price
-mini mac + cheese at Skinners
-Fusion Chicken with curry at Asian Fusion vs the Holy Basil noodles with beef. It's a total smackdown
-3 milk cake at Neida's

The building I live in has 90 units. The condo association has been in the hands of the owners for more than 20 years.

Your fees are up to YOU as a condo association. If you don't like what's going on, join the condo association board. Different management companies have different fee structures and the services provided are up to you guys as the owners. However, if your building is new, the HOA fees may be jacked up to start to build a reserve. This is important to cover large [recurring] projects, ie, new roof, elevator issues as well as unforeseen projects. We are managed by ARK Management in N. Bergen. We like them. In the past I lived in a building managed by RELB of Hoboken, also good.

If your home is underwater why don't you do a loan re-modification? You qualify if your mortgage is prior to 2010.

It's a given that maintenance fees fluctuate, especially in new construction, and especially when the developer turns the property over to condo association. If you are living in a building with amenities (an elevator is considered an amenity) the fees will be high. I had complete sticker shock when moving from Hoboken to JC because the HOA fees here are so much higher (about double). I currently pay $465/month in fees and this includes maintenance for 4 elevators, backyard, 24-7 porter/door staff.

If you walk away from your property you are still responsible for all other payments. As to how large corporations recovered and individual property owners didn't.... they were bailed out, the little man got sold out. And banks have just received new TARP $$ so get a re-mod on your loan! It's your right as a taxpayer.

You need to call your bank or mortgage lender immediately. If you have a fixed mortgage why is there a $500 fluctuation each month. Find out what's going on! Also, some lenders try to jack up monthly payments to stick more $$ in the tax escrow regardless of the actual tax bill. I've had to call out my lender on that twice (BofA) and get them to bring the monthly payments back to the original amount.

Kellogg Garden on West Side has good food BUT if they put the wrong order in your bag, they will do *nothing* to rectify their own mistake. When they delivered the wrong food to our house they told us the were "too busy" to fix it.

Just out of curiousity, how would one know if they were underwater exactly?
