You try carpooling kids in car seats in your 2 door mustang

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.

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.

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.

On Wednesday night my wife and I visited my sister-in-law up on Terhune Avenue. Terhune is a park on both sides venue. There is a bike lane on the left side of the road, and I just shake my head in disbelief that it's there. 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.

Starbucks was not set up in 1971 to feet/shelter the homeless and be filthy dirty. There are shelters for that and cleaning services out there to keep the place clean. Come in when it gets renovated for some clean, non-homeless calm :)

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
