Re: Figure Drawing in Downtown Jersey City on Thursday night

Newbie

What kind of painting do you do in the painting class? I took a look at the website and I didnt find any information...

I'm definitely going to check out one of your figure drawing sessions.

Also, I talked to you at the Ball about it, but I would love to learn how to do screenprinting someday! :D

Stairs would be fine, but they usually block it off with makeshift fencing. Still everything would go more smoothly if people stayed to the right on stairs and walkways. All of NYC has this problem. Tokyo does this right even with twice as many riders.

I saw a young Jap couple enter the new PATH train in one of the PATH stations they both approach the seat only to notice it was for a handicap person they immediately moved on to another seat.

Agreed - I really think 90% of the times when I am annoyed at the PATH, it's really just the people ON the PATH i am annoyed with. Things would go so much smoother if people didn't fish for their cards while standing right in front of a turnstile, or lean on the poles so no one can use it but themselves, or spread out their newspapers/books/backpacks out as far as possible. And what's with people getting up from their seats to stand in front of you when you've been standing the whole time and obviously are getting off too? I feel if you're lazy enough and have been sitting the whole time maybe you should WAIT until the people who have been standing the whole time get off. Just a pet peeve.

But hey, at least we don't have subway chikan (perverts) like they do in Japan! At least no one has ever felt me up on the PATH, even when i wear mini skirts and such.

Re: Where does North Jersey end and South Jersey begin?

Central Jersey= Raritan River to Route 195

South Jersey= South of Route 195

agreed!!! I would say central jersey ends after monmouth county and south jersey starts at ocean county.

It's amazing how different each area of nj is even inside that area a lot of the towns have totally different vibes even for such a small state. A lot of out of state people don't get why many NJ people think there is a south, central, and north jersey, but they really are quite different.

I get on the 33rd st line everyday between 8:45 and 9:15 and it is never so crowded that I can't get on and sometiems get a seat, unless there was a breakdown/delay. The WTC line on the other hand looks like a can of sardines.

The WTC train is more crowded for 8 am and 9 am shift starts. 33rd is more crowded for 10 am shift starts. The WTC train is practically empty at 9:30 while the 33rd is at capacity. It should be 2 WTC for every one 33 during the early shift and two 33, 1 WTC, late shift. The bigger travesty is Hoboken service taking up half of the system time. Going home from 33rd at 5 or 6 pm, the JSQ platform looks like the city is being evacuated for a hurricane while nearly everyone gets a seat on the Hoboken train. Its pretty easy for PATH to figure out how to stagger service so that crowded lines have more trains at times when they are at capacity, but for whatever reason they don't. NJTransit passengers don't transfer to the PATH at Hoboken Terminal anymore after Secaucus Junction was built. Hoboken PATH service needs to be reduced accordingly. Easy fix. Make a 33rd express from JSQ that stops at JSQ, Grove, Newport, 14th, and 33rd. And a local that stops at everything including Hoboken. All trains are filled. PATH saves money. Its a win-win for everyone.

Just wait, because Harrison's Transit City isn't even built yet. It is only going to get worse.

I get off at 23rd everyday and would be really annoyed if they built a line that skipped it over. And in my experience, far more people (seemingly half the train car) get off at 23rd than at 14th on a weekday during rush hour.

It'd be nice to have some kind of express, but I'm not sure it would really work out well.

Re: PATH (pathetic attempt at transporting humans)

I made an instructional comic page on my autobio webcomic site with tips on how to ride the PATH here:

Personally I love the PATH (convenient, fast, low fares), but sometimes PATH riders (especially during rush hour) can suck...

Thank you, thank you for not turning another restaurant location into an asian fusion place.

Can't wait to try it. Please, please let it be at least 1/2 as good as Laico's.

ditto on that one! Presto's is the only place I've found that's good good quality italian food at a sit down restaurant in the area... And it's a bit of a walk.

I can't wait to go here.... Keep us updated, I'll be there on opening night!! :9

Re: PATH (pathetic attempt at transporting humans)

I don't know about everyone else, but I really like my commute. The PATH has only been very late 2 or 3 times in my two years of living and commuting on the JSQ - 33rd line. I love that I can go home really late some nights and not have to worry about my line being shut down. Sure I could do with more PATH trains on the weekends or a smoother ride on the trains (hope those new trains take care of that...), but I'm quite happy and thankful for the commute that I have. I guess I'm in the minority on this opinion though?
