Yeah, I love that map. :) But I haven't ever heard of Embankment border of Harsimus Cove being disputed.

I'm as much a fan of accuracy as anyone, but this is not a JC-Only issue. Today I walked past a store in Manhattan (THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD, as we're constantly reminded). Its awning advertised "Smoking Acesiories". I literally stopped and stared.

In the Rustique article is says, "It's on Jersey Avenue between Fifth and Sixth, which puts it in the charming community of Hamilton Park."
are proofreaders also supposed to be fact-checking?

All the misspelled store signage in JC must keep you up at night I guess. Or when they spell Tonnelle in about four different ways across JC.

Lowering our standards will never result in making our city better.

You work in a place where people lose their jobs over silly, harmless and slightly humorous mistakes? Sure, better proofreading would be good, but it's a FREE, kind-of-entertaining magazine that promotes local businesses. Relax. It's not The Atlantic.

I understand it is a free publication. My problem is simple proofreading. The current issue has an article about a new apartment building. The layout is referred to as "cookie cooker" rather than "cookie cutter". I know it a small error but people lose their jobs for less. If this magazine is representative of our city, the standards should be set a bit higher.

I tend to be a little less critical of magazines that are FREE!
They're not doing much fact checking, though-the story on Boulevard Drinks says they use a custom made Sabrett hot dog which aren't available in supermarkets. No, they are not custom made-and the reason they're not available in supermarkets is that supermarkets don't sell Sabretts in that small, 12 to a pound size.
