If you moved out of state then i say best of luck and good fortune. If not, then Ha haw...you are still stuck like the rest of us in Joiesy. :P

Good bye & best of luck to you.

Why is it always the best leave & not the scum? I have a neighbor, lives next door, the kind you dream of. She confided in me that when her little girl finishes 8th grade they are gone. Crime has risen, the city in general is filthy, there is nothing really for the children especially by way of social based activity, the girl plays softball.

It is sad. I have lived here my whole life. Same neighborhood for last 50 years & if I could sell tomorrow, I would be gone. In the last several years, my Heights neighborhood has deteriorated so much it looks like a war zone. Our illustrious mayor, county executive & his chief of staff live within a 20 min. walk of me. I don't see them walking the streets - day or night.

Once again, JC_DowntownRegular, all the best.

Happy trails to you! ... and, I've always loved your tag line:

"Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience"

Best advice I've ever gotten from JC List.

So where the hell are you going?

I just wanted to send out a public good bye to Jersey City and all my fellow JCListers.

Today we picked up the last of our belongings and drove away from our home of eight years (to the day by sheer coincidence). Jersey City has been good to us and it was very difficult to leave our friends and neighborhood. Unfortunately, the cons outweighed the pros for us.

I've had many a good discussion here on JCList and will probably be checking in to see what is going on and get my dose of good old JCList old timer and newcomer snarkiness.

I wish all my fellow JCListers the best. Keep this city moving in the positive and forward direction it is moving.

To Parkman - I've said it before and I'll say it again. You and your staff of volunteers do a great job in VVP. Keep it up.

To Steve Fulop - Good luck. You are the change that this city needs.

To all those fighting the pipeline and development on the embankment - Keep it up. I can only hope for the best.

And to everyone else, again, good luck and the best to you all.

(now how do I change my name to ex-JC_DowntownRegular ?)
