I read an article recently in the JC Independent that makes mention of the group rides the Grove Street Bikes has every Sunday morning. Goes through Hoboken up to GW Bridge. I def want to check this out as my current loop around LSP gets crazy monotonous to hit my 40 mile cut off.

Beechwood has been banking on their location and their curb appeal far too long. Food and service are nothing more than mediocre on any given day. The last time I went our server seated us and promptly disappear for 20 minutes. I went inside to find her sitting at a table counting out her tips. No apology, just "oh, someone will be with you soon."

As of yesterday, Nha Trang has officially moved to the new location (Thanh Haoi). I'm pretty bummed about this as I like the menu options and prices better at Nha Trang.
I did see a suspicious looking banner for Whole Foods in the window...

The temp route is actually getting nicer. This weekend I spoke with a gentleman who was part of a small group that were clearing away the large broken concrete bits that surround the skatepark and laying down mulch to create entrance/exit paths. It's now much safer crossing, especially if you're on a bike since now you don't need to dismount and tip-toe over that stuff. Not sure if he was a volunteer or not, but he said that he didn't expect the bridge to be in place "any time soon."

The quickest way to the park from Jersey Ave is to cut a right down Aetna road, hook left, cross diagonal the skate park (high five the kids) and pick up the narrow foot path that brings you to the dead end of Phillip St.

Tried this place Friday night. We sat for several minutes before I had to get up and ask for menus. When bread came we were never given small plates to eat from, so we ate on our placemats. Food was so-so, I'd put it on par with cafeteria style. Not over cooked, not under cooked, little to no seasoning. I'd give them a second try in a few months if they are still around.

There was work going on at the NW end of the creek this weekend. Land around that area was leveled and a crew with a backhoe appeared to be working on the banks.

I wouldn't rollerblade in that area. I wouldn't even throw paper airplanes or feed the pigeons. You could try chewing bubble gum but it might get ripped out of your mouth. I can't believe that so many people with pure bred dogs even walk them around there, it's insane. There are evil doers lurking behind ever corner and the best thing to do is hide inside with your curtains drawn.

Aren't those courts usually pretty busy with pickup games at this time of day? I'd think there'd be plenty of peeps around who'd make an attempt to intervene if they saw someone so blatantly be assaulted.

This is great, hopefully we'll see more rack installed in the coming months and the weather gets nicer.
As a side note, what ever happened to the bike lane initiative? I thought we were supposed to get something like 50 lanes throughout the city? That was a "Healy Effort" wasn't it?...

Not sure if I've got the address correct, could be 616, but for several weeks there has been constant pumping of water from the basements of one of these addresses onto the sidewalk into the street. Yesterday the water had some sort of silt or red clay (possibly rust?) in it. I haven't seen any construction or repair vehicles in the area so I was hoping someone on the board might live in the area (or know the residents) and know what's going on at this address. There have been several times that I've seen people slip when the water has frozen, I've done it a few times myself.

"Healy sits on the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, a Newark-based agency that distributes federal transportation funding. The NJTPA awarded the $500,000 grant.
In 2011 the city applied for, and didn't receive, an $18.4 million federal grant to fund creation of the Jersey Avenue extension. Currently, the roadway, which runs north and south through Downtown, ends just south of the Jersey City Medical Center." I can find nothing questionable with the above two paragraphs from this article...

The last two weekends that I've gone it is still fenced off. If you cross the skate park and go left of the shipping container, you'll see several beaten paths where people have been cutting through the brush. If you skinny, you can probably walk along the fence line, but if you're with a bike like myself it easier to cut through the brush.

I've actually gotten pretty fond of cutting down Aetna Rd and across the skate park. It's a mini adventure where at any moment you can fall and get tetanus.

Foscam is the way to go if you want to stay on the cheap. Buy the Amazon bundle if you'll be needing multiple cameras. The indoor cameras are fully pan/tilt with two-way audio, not sure about the outdoor cameras - those might be fixed position/no audio. Don't think either have zoom capabilities, but both have IR (night vision).

You've answered your own question. If you've got the second, older/cheaper bike then DEF keep that as your beater. Hell, last week didn't one of those racks get plowed into by a construction vehicle? It was all bent to sh!t. I've never seen a Krypto killed off by a hacksaw in any reasonable amount of time, though I have seen them quickly busted open using a hydraulic jack. Power tools are a whole different story, the least likely a thief would use.

thumbs up for JCMC. My gf was brought through the ER with a lower leg break and she was treated immediately. She had her follow up surgery there as well. Yes there are sketchy people here and there, but it's to be expected for our area.

Ya, what he is doing is definitely on the creepster side, but it's not illegal. If he was taking photos of your nanny and child inside your home, that's a different story. If this guy is a amateur photog, he should have the courtesy to ask permission to take another person's photo just out of respect. Hopefully he's just one of JC's many harmless weirdos.

For $750,000, this better be one bad a$$ bridge when complete. The old bridge (so old the city can't remember...) was a complete joke for the amount of traffic that it was used for. I'd have to assume that a good sum of this money will be used to redevelop the canal as well as putting in a bigger, better, permanent bridge.

Sounds like the exact same style of break in that happened at our building last week. Door was pryed open. In my experience the first line of defense are responsible neighbors, everyone needs to make sure they completely close the main entrance door and that it locks completely, and don't buzz any random person in if you have an intercom system. Talk to your neighbors, you might be surprise how clueless they can be. Second line of defense is that your main entrance door ACTUALLY LOCKS. I've seen some real ridiculously sloppy doors in a lot of the older homes around here. Third line of defense is what I'm working on right now: installing a home security system (alarm) and IP security web cam. Check Amazon, all can be done on the cheap.

I find the circles intriguing, like crop circles. If he draws them freehand, well done, they're technically perfect. If it was done on my building, I'd probably have the same response and want it gone, but at least it's only chalk.
The bottle art is a creative use of disposed goods. It puts some life into that sterile block. Is nobody going to crit the brick sculptures on Marin Blvd?

There was a break in at our building on Pavonia Ave yesterday afternoon. This is the second time in 6 months and the same unit in the building was targeted. The first time nothing was stolen but this time was the tenant wasn't as lucky. Without going into too much detail as I don't want to make certain information public knowledge - i feel/know that our building doesn't meet the minimum security standards and our landlord is being all too casual about improving the current condition. I'm already looking into moving now, but I was going to reach out to my other tenants to get them to push the landlord to make REAL improvements. Are there any steps I can take to getting the ball rolling to get the landlord off his ass?

This is great news for us riders out there. I just wonder how "allowing cyclists to ride on sidewalks, provided pedestrians are given the right-of-way and allowing the city engineer to specify certain sidewalks where cycling is prohibited" is going to be implemented?
