Moral of the story: Stop being a softy, this is a CITY. It is not the end of the world, move on. LOL@ explaining karma when someone is trying to park.



And to the OP, thank you for leaving. I hope your post convinces many more yuppies and hipster douchebags to leave JC.

Even better, why don't you ask him/her to explain what he/she is doing there. It's your money! I'd also bring a video camera and start recording as you approach the vehicle. Maybe you will catch them staring at the back of their eye lids.

Would someone explain to me who decides what JC police do with their time, and why? After all, I pay way more than my share in taxes. I am not pleased that I am paying this jerk to sit on his a** all day.

Some neighbors and I are trying to start a group to really put some pressure on the JCPD brass, as well as Fulop and the City to clean these places up. If you are truly interested in helping out, please let me know.

Places like Indio's, the Latin Lounge, the Music Box Cafe, and the Barge Inn are all trouble spots and contribute nothing positive to the neighborhoods.

I moved to Jersey City in 1998.
I moved to Jersey City in 1998 from Europe in order to work in New York City and to escape the pretense of the Big Apple.
Eleven years ago this was a \"down to earth place\". It was \"uncool\" to live here by Manhattan standard. That was exactly what I was looking for.
The last thing I wanted was uninspired white American middle class taste and the culture of entitlement that seems to be favorably exercised by millions of citizens in this country. By complaining about minor BS like toddlers about missing toys.
JC List is a wonderful example.
I never have moved to an area before and expected the area to change for me. A lot of Americans seem to have a different take on that.
In 1998 \"Hard Grove\" was a Cuban Cafe. Not the copy of a Cuban Cafe. The plates were full, prices very reasonable, the music salsa and the waitress was Lisa. Lisa was an excellent waitress, known in the neighborhood, fast, funny and unpretentious.
\"Hard Grove\" is now a \"place to go\". Lisa is fired and the waiters wear skinny jeans. It is mostly pretty empty, atmosphere is missing and the food is mediocre.
But Newark Avenue has benches now. I guess black people didn\'t need a place to rest back in the day.
And Steven Fulop holds his Fund Raisers in the acutely authentic German beer garden where they all meet: the yuppies, the hippsters and the exerted pushchair owners. (It can\'t be any old pushchair though.) The folks you wanted to attract by giving it up for the investor. Our good old Jersey City.
In the morning I can watch the fitness idiots in Van Vorst Park. In fact, if I had the time, I could watch them all day. They are stretching and falling all over each other, because there is no bloody space in between them and the disciplined white husband (white is for me, by the way, a life approach, not the skin color) who is taking the pathetic idea of a dog for a walk. Because his nerve wracking blue eyed \"OHHH MY GOOOD THIS IS SOOO FUNNY\" girl friend/wife, he has stopped bedding a while ago, makes him do it.
The other morning I sat by the fountain and I saw one of these guys who have the hair in their face and a full beard. I ask my friend about the intention and he says:\"It is not a beard. It is the ironic take on a beard.\" I wish you would take your ironic beard back to Alpine.
We also have pet photographers in the neighborhood now. And little shops where people can buy shit they don\'t need to keep the economy going. Meanwhile they are complaining about stores on Newark Avenue where you can -actually- buy things you do need. Mostly for a dollar. And that was fine the past decade. Everybody was happy with that. Not anymore.

It seems most people on jclist live in downtown JC. If you love JC so much, why not live an area more accessible to the rest of JC, instead of an area that has accessibility to NY as a primary virtue?

Hm. Didn't realize there were still people who think messenger bags on men are out of the ordinary. This has been enlightening.

Oh no no no my friend, nothing like a messenger bag. Im talking full on lady purse being worn by men. There is a big differene between a messanger bag and a purse, not even in the same ballpark. A purse is meant for a WOMAN.

Again, proves that we're winners. I would rather see man purses aka "murses" being worn by men then white t-shirts resembling night gowns.
Oh and someone mentioned country village, and I was like "WTF is that?!". So I looked it up... "The impetus for Country Village came from the goal of the Jersey City Planning Commission in 1959 to rezone the 42-acre industrial wasteland for residential use." Tubular.

While I want the business to do well so it can stay open, I also like it just the way it is right now: mostly locals and busy, but not too busy. I even wouldn't mind if they stayed in the 'soft opening' mode for a year or two. THat's probably why seeing it slightly understaffed makes me happy.

Owners, if you're reading this - thanks for bringing this to the hood and keep up the great work!
