Re: Another trendy JC restaurant is closing.

Sorry to hear they are closing, my wife and I really enjoyed their appetizer menu and happy hour pricing. We even got approval from her always difficult Cantonese family, so now we are down to one less place to take them when they're visiting.

That's a difficult location that really only seems to cater to the after-work, #crispyboys crowd. I still can't believe that Greene Hook, which is only a few blocks away, is still in business. Their food has always been ok-to-decent but I've never seen the space filled.

This must have been a life-changing event for you, considering this is the topic you've chosen for your first post. I'd recommend bringing your business to either Lackawana Coffee or 9Bar Caf?, as they both offer a superior product (and ambiance) over what Starbucks can offer.

Cheers

If I had a Mustang I would certainly at least try. I award you -1 point for reading comprehension.


Actually you should re read what I wrote. I never stated you owned a Mustang. I said "try". So I'll take the point back from you.

Re: Reason #110 Why not take your car to Jersey City Ford

What the mechanics did was totally wrong and they deserved to be fired. However, I do agree with the dealership that the owner's list of demands to make the situation right was unreasonable. He wanted a new clutch, new tires, and new brakes. That's at least over $2,000 worth of parts and labor. He wanted his demands met or he would "post the video" which he obviously did after the dealership refused. Kinda sounds like blackmail to me. Either way, the dealership was exposed and I'm sure he'll be compensated in some more seasonable fashion.

Re: A new N.J. bar’s dress code was called racist. The owner says it was ‘an oversight.’

Home away from home


If the dress code for The Ashford is anything like Surf City, it's more sexist than racist. 90% of the clothing items they describe are typically worn by men. There's no mention of skirts too short, heels too high, or clothing too revealing. They are trying to keep certain kinds of men out, but have no objection to letting any kind of woman in. If you're comfortable supporting businesses with these kinds of bro-douche policies that aim to keep male attendance low and female attendance high, then have at it.

I live in the Hamilton Park/Village area and I've been hearing this sound for seemingly the entire summer, on and off. Anyone know if this is from residential/commercial/turnpike construction equipment, like a generator or something? I work from home and I can hear it even with my windows shut at almost any or all times of the day. Or maybe I'm just going insane?

Re: Recommendations - Cat Boarding?

Secaucus Animal Hospital will do boarding. I've never used their boarding service beyond when my cats' needed surgery or a couple overnight stays for heath reasons, but their staff is very good. They will be kept in a common area, in their own enclosure, but with other animals (both cats and dogs, sick and healthy) so take your cat's personality and special needs into account.

I've also heard of "The Cat Man" mentioned several times on this board before, to high regard:

I know that all the decent trails systems like 6 Mile, Allaire, Chimney Rock, etc. aren't that far by car (about an hour or so) but for someone like myself who doesn't have a car, is there any place "somewhat" local to ride? Even if it's just a spot to session for 30 minutes or so. The only spot that I can remotely think of is that tiny little single track section that runs parallel to Freedom Way by the Interpretive Center, which is fun for about 15 minutes. Anything worth checking out within bikeable distance from downtown?

Re: Cat Groomer Recommendation?
#13
Home away from home
Home away from home


We brought our Maine Coon to Groomingdales several years ago and it didn't go very well. We wanted a wash and a cut, but we got a phone call after the wash saying that the cat was so agitated that they wouldn't be able to do a cut. I doubt it had anything to do with their service or training, it's just that most places cater to dogs. Dogs are loud, social animals and of course cats are not. We learned how to do "cat baths" and bought some grooming clippers off Amazon and did everything at home. Sometimes it took 3 days to do a finished cut because cats don't tolerate sitting for more than a few minutes, but overall it was WAY less stressful than bringing them to a groomer. Maybe another option would be the mobile groomers that come to your house?

I would love to see this space be opened to the public, I've been dying to get a chance to explore in there for years. Didn't they used to run tours through there every once and a while? I don't buy into the notion that the space should be developed to serve the "needs" of the public, such as adding more sports fields. If I make the choice to purchase a car, the city doesn't owe me a place to park it? hell no. Sure, there are places to park, but there sure ain't enough for everybody!

I've been home roasting for several years and I'd go to Legal Grounds when I'd fall behind and needed roasted beans in a pinch. They sell by weight which is good, however, the quality of their beans is extremely hit or miss. I'm not sure if it's how they store them, but I've had several batches that have been nearly undrinkable.

Throwing your hands up in the air and saying "This is [insert city name here]" only feeds systematic failure. Not cooperating with the police because you know your assailants and are afraid of retribution is one thing, not cooperating with the police because you think it's pointless is completely different. If you want a prosperous society, you can't turn a blind eye to injustice.

All though knowing the suspect makes it worst not all cases of failing to cooperate means they know the attacker. Maybe you are unaware but criminals receive all the information during discovery in a court case. They will know what you said, who you are, where you live etc. Not only that they will have it in writing so when they spread the word someone snitched they have the paperwork. That is why their is so much fear with cooperating.

Remember the case recently of a gang member outing those cooperating in a gang bust in JC on Facebook? He received the interview video during discovery from his lawyer and posted the video on his page to show proof who the snitches were and what they said.



You raise a lot of valid and interesting points. As a person with an almost uncanny familiarity with these type of situations, what would you propose as a solution?

I hate to be a person that passes judgement, but on the surface this story has too many holes.

She confronts them, gets attacked by them, can't identify them and won't cooperate with police? If the story truly is authentic, i hope she isn't seriously hurt or permanently traumatized.

I've never heard of the brand "Roadmaster" and looked it up, probably one of the cheapest "new" bikes you can buy. My guess would be that the thief was desperate and would have stolen ANYTHING ? not knowing that particular bike isn't even worth the risk.

Interesting. My guess would be that this info would match up nicely to statistics on general vehicle-to-vehicle crashes. More cars = more crashes.

I'm glad that they are referring to collisions as "crashes" instead of "accidents" though.

Well, if you can explain how to fix Terhune Avenue for safe bike riding up or down that lane, I'll defer to your wisdom.
Compromise to bring safety is not backward thinking.


A bike lane is not a traffic-calming device, that is not the reason they are being placed throughout the city. They are not stop signs, they are not traffic lights and they are not speed humps.

Bike lanes are visual cues to motorists that other human beings have the legal right to use the roadways; that roads are meant to be SHARED.

When roads are not shared, when aggressive driving becomes a problem, THEN it becomes a matter of police enforcement and/or civil engineering.

Terhune Avenue is not an exception to any other one-way street in JC with a bike lane.

On Wednesday night my wife and I visited my sister-in-law up on Terhune Avenue. Terhune is a park on both sides venue.

If a careless passenger exits their car without looking and a bike rider collides with the door and the passenger while a car is coming up the road tragedy is inevitable.
As a bike rider myself, that opened car door is something I fear more than traffic.
I feel that a compromise may be reached within Jersey City wherein bikes should be off limits on some dangerous streets in order to focus more on the wider avenues where citizens will realize that bikes are to be expected and there is room to avoid tragedy.
The lack of thought that the city administration displayed in putting bike lanes on streets that are dangerous for bike riders was an unnecessary and probably expensive waste of public funds and of no use to the bicycle rider.


This is exactly the backwards thinking that we are fighting against. We don't cater to dangerous streets ? we fix the issues that make them dangerous.

BTW, on one-way streets, bike lanes SHOULD be placed on the left side of the road (along the passenger side of vehicles). The chance of a door collision is reduced significantly, since every car must have a driver but not always a passenger.

Time to pump the brakes a bit, you sound like a stuck-up broad.

You've done your part and complained to the manager that you find the store to be unwelcoming to guests, and your next step should be to contact their corporate office. Turn to social media if you must, FB and Twitter have proven very effective and getting issues resolved.

Boycott the store in the meantime by checking out some of the other local coffeeshops that others here have suggested. Many of them offer a great atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying a cup of "good" coffee.

Guests ?? Is there a private party being conducted there where it's invitation only ? I think you mean (paying) customers


Sorry that the term "guest" tripped you up.

noun

1. a person who spends some time at another person's home in some social activity, as a visit, dinner, or party.

2. a person who receives the hospitality of a club, a city, or the like.

3. a person who patronizes a hotel, restaurant, etc., for the lodging, food, or entertainment it provides.

4. an often well-known person invited to participate or perform in a regular program, series, etc., as a substitute for a regular member or as a special attraction.

5. Zoology. an inquiline.
