Getting a straight answer about the location of the CO & smoke detectors is not easy.

Hello, everyone. This is my first post and I seem to now be resurrecting a dead topic. However, I wanted to discuss the future of Newport now that the wretched waste of space Pay/Half is now gone after 15 years.

If you haven't seen, the Pay/Half space is being divided into two restaurant spaces (something the mall desperately needed to be completely honest). The construction has begun on the outside of this space directly across from the light rail. It looks like the former truck dock (specifically used for Pay/Half and former Filene's Basement) is being demolished and these two restaurants will have outdoor entrances and hopefully outdoor patio seating, with a gorgeous view of the lovely light rail station and its charming riders of course.

As for what will take over these two spots, nothing has been made official yet. The big rumor is The Cheesecake Factory, which I will not be surprised if it is true. Although I am quite frankly sick of the abundance of CFs in NJ (8 locations now and Short Hills being the closest), I welcome it. The location and spot works too. The CF in Trumbull, CT is what comes to mind when I envision the finished product.

No clue as for the second spot. I have heard rumors about Legal Sea Foods and McCormick and Schmicks. If not one of these two, I can see P.F. Chang's or Brio Tuscan Grille. Something along those lines.

As for new stores, I am hoping for a J. Crew or Banana, but hopefully those will come with the changing of Metro Plaza into a new high rise development. For some weird reason, American Apparel is opening upstairs, even though they are right next to the seemingly successful Hoboken store. I have a feeling this store won't make it here. A Uniqlo would be great instead.

If it's a UPS delivery (which all of my Amazon packages are either UPS, USPS, or Lasership), you can just make an account with UPS and download the app to your phone, which will let you indicate if you'd like the delivery person to leave the package, where you want him/her to leave it, and sign for it.

Even better UPS now uses Access Point. This complaint, however, has nothing to do with UPS. You're lucky if you haven't gotten delivery with their private messengers yet. They're all over downtown, 7 days/week.

Amazon has been doing this for quite a while now. I recall my packages getting just dropped off at the door since January. Despite living in what many on this board likes to believe is a ghetto, I've never had any packages stolen or come up missing...

I had to go to Bayonne earlier this week and saw the difference while returning to JC. The JC streets felt like a war zone with all the bumps.

One of the commenters on NJ.com said that firewalls are required between townhouse/condo units (new, wood construction), but since Avalon is an apartment building, those codes don't apply.

The average income in 07310 is over 100k and just under in 07302 with Hoboken just in between, not to mention the neighborhoods on the other side of the Hudson.

That area isn't the "hood"...yeah DTJC is so hood with projects like Crystal Pointe and bodegas like Cosi and you can barely walk the street you may get slashed with the pen of Wall Street type buried in his Blackberry.

I guess the Mall caters to the Hood. I'm sure Teavana, Qdoba and Michael Kors are all the rage on Ocean Ave.

And Newport is just so hood...Morton Williams, Komegashi, Skylark on the Hudson...I mean if only we could be more like Greenville and get a Kennedy Fried Chicken over here!

I live within walking distance of the mall and I don't want it to go anywhere. Thanks for the concern though. I'd much rather it stay and continue.

I do appreciate the hipster denigration of any enterprise not some organic or hand me down or overpriced baloney, and I do always, always appreciate the envy of non-downtowners with real estate envy who show it through the aspersion cast on the city's best districts.

Carry on, the rest of us will enjoy the convenience.

Where are your facts Brewster? When Prep mails out their magazine on former graduates based on years, they list their professions. I see heads of corporations, lawyers, doctors, engineers. That doesn't mean is disapprove of McNair, but to say "McNair is superior," is just hot air.

When I lived on 8th street I was mailed a flier asking if I'd give permission to use my apartment for filming of a movie (lived in one of the old "brownstones"). I figured it to be a scam, but it turned out it was for Cadillac Records. Looks as though they ended up filming in Newark.
