Property Manager recommendations

Good afternoon all! I was hoping someone could recommend a property management company for downtown JC. Not necessarily for a whole building but for individual units. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Newark Ave. Fire at Moloney's Meat Market near County Court House !

Apparently a fire started in the basement of one of the buildings on Monmouth between 3rd and 4th and sadly spread to possibly three of the homes in the rear. No one seriously hurt thankfully but a firefighter that was fighting the fire at Moloney's came down to help Monmouth and his oxygen tank ran out so he was taken to the hospital.

Strange week with DeCarlos (same block) having a car run right into his shop the other day!

Madame Claude moved just across the street from the original location. But we're very excited to have Prato open up here as well!

Agreed, papadage. The price savings on just a few trips pays for our membership. We currently go to the one in Clifton so I'm stoked about the Bayonne location. We don't have a whole lot of storage so this will make it easier to take more frequent trips. On a good day I'm in south Bayonne from DJC in 15 minutes when visiting fam. Two thumbs up!

Further down in the article, it points out that NJ is in 49th place when it comes to State credit ratings. Ouch.

And the exodus south and west started some time ago. I believe NJ is in the top 3 on the list of states people are moving out of.

I would suggest posting this on Next Door - The Village or sending the pics to someone on there. There's a good chance this couple are members and they'll feel mighty embarrassed if they see themselves in these photos. I'm no longer on the site as I don't live in the Village anymore but here's the link:

Many of the neighborhood association members are on there as well. Godspeed!

Re: Flu shot at Target?

A quote from Peter Doshi's BMJ review, "Influenza: marketing vaccines by marketing disease" (BMJ 2013; 346:f3037):

"...even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the 'flu' problem because most 'flu' appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive."

"...It's no wonder so many people feel that 'flu shots' don't work: for most flus, they can't."

Because most diagnosed cases of the flu aren't the flu.

Hello there! I admittedly haven't taken yoga in about a year but here are some places downtown you can look into:

Sun Moon on Monmouth
Jivamukti on Newark
Surya Yoga on Grove Street
Maximum Motion Fitness & Yoga on Grove Street

Like most classes, it's all about your connection to the teacher.

Good luck!

Cooperating with buyer's agents is a great idea, since many already have buyers they are working with.

Regarding open houses, the best one is the first one because the listing is fresh. After that tends to be lookie-loo's and curious people within your building. Agents like to do multiple open houses because it's a great way to meet buyer clients. And perhaps make sure the people that are interested are pre-approved with a lender that has experience in your building.

It's a beauty contest out there. Most interested people are probably looking at multiple properties in an outing, so make sure yours shows great and stands out in the crowd. Good luck!

Sadly, the stock tanked more after his statement. Not a smart move when you have shareholders! Market cap loss of $350M in two days.

Did you see what the Grubhub CEO did? He sent a memo to all employees basically telling Trump voters to resign. Their stock price has plunged over 10% since he made these comments, because they outraged many people who swore never to use their service again.


I sure did. #Boycottgrubhub is trending hard on twitter and now rumblings of lawsuits. I don't care either way what personal views people have. I just find it an interesting topic when it comes to businesses.

That's what the debate becomes. If that's the case, are the bars that continue to serve the beer associated with hate now? I dunno. Becomes messy when money is involved.

The CEO of GrubHub sure made a mess for himself and now the stock is 10% down (last I saw). All because he expressed his personal political views in an email to the employees. Messy!

I think what's starting to become very interesting is how some JC businesses are responding to the election. I'm not sure how I feel about businesses taking on a public political stance. Just in from Pint:

"Dear Pint Fans:

We love our diverse clientele. That diversity is what makes our city such a great place. We also love Yuengling - in fact we sell 230 barrels of Yuengling a year. But, Yuengling does not love us. The owners of Yuengling supporteded the racist, anti-gay, anti-women candidacy of Donald Trump. And we can't support that.

Beginning next week, Pint will no longer sell Yuengling or products from D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. The $15,000 a year we paid for their products will go to companies that do support diversity. We are also closing our account with Peerless Beverage Company, the distributor of Yuengling, until they drop Yuengling products from their lineup.

While we have a few kegs of Yuengling we already paid for and we'll pour those til they're gone, we're not worried about letting them go. We have lots of amazing craft brewers who will fill the Yuengling taps with delicious beer.

We don't expect that dropping Yuengling will change the world. But it will tell our neighbors, our friends, and you, that when you come to Pint you're welcome here - regardless of who you love, what you look like, or whether you sit or stand to pee.

Thanks for being our customers -

Wolf Sterling, Owner
Tommy DeMaio, General Manager"

Not knowing who you're neighbors are, absentee landlords who rent out the little apartment next-door to you. Fellow tenants who only live there a few months at a pop then a new one arrives. Sounds like a vacation to me. Hotel Newport where everyday seems like a getaway.

The beauty of the location is that you're minutes away from either Van Vorst/Grove Street and Paulus Hook walking along the Light Rail.

Plus the Beer Garden is opening up soon :) Once the Hilton breaks ground (last reported to be the end of this year) I'm sure the retail spaces at the foot of the buildings will begin to fill for all the new tourists.

The building has very few investors compared to other luxury hi-rises, there's a ton of people living there.

I noticed this as well with the trees and if you need help watering, I'm all over it.

On a side note, as I type this, I'm watching sidewalk corners on Brunswick being broken up and leveled out nicely, looking very good.

Let's keep this up!

It has to start somewhere, right? You could have said the same thing of all of downtown at some point or another. It's one thing to have to deal with an entire town of seedy characters but one block on Wayne? Much easier to deal with.

Just remember what the Grove St path area looked like before Grove Pointe, Duane Reade and Starbucks came in. It's definitely changed and will continue to do so.

Oops, I'm being positive :) Sorry guys!

Magic Johnson's new restaurant in XChange Place opens

Food that?s ?Magic!?
Magic Johnson Marketplace restaurant opens in Exchange Place
by Gene Ritchings
Reporter correspondent


NBA basketball legend Earvin ?Magic? Johnson paid a visit to the new Magic Johnson Marketplace restaurant at 95 Greene St. in the busy Exchange Place area of town Wednesday.

Johnson chatted with customers and fans, toured the restaurant ? the first Magic Johnson Marketplace in the nation ? spent time meeting with the staff at the location, and sampled some of his favorite menu items.

The eatery is open for breakfast and lunch. It offers fresh salads, grilled entrees, made-to-order deli sandwiches, coffee, and ?grab and go? options.

On Wednesday, the line of fast food customers and basketball fans began forming around the block at 8:30 a.m. in front of the restaurant. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., the former star of the Los Angeles Lakers spent about three hours signing autographs for the first 200 guests in line.

Customers are surrounded by imagery and artwork that tells the Magic Johnson story.

The restaurant opened for business in January, and according to Tara Baten of SodexoMAGIC, the cafe?s management company, business has been ?terrific.?

Very nice.

Sawa is definitely coming to Gull's Cove. It's my understanding that they've decided to take less space and is creating a second level of seating, similar to Harbor Casino and The Merchant.

Other businesses are in the process of negotiating their leases and once finalized, they'll be announced in a big way. One of them, if they can work it out, will be a tremendous addition to the neighborhood.
