Heights Brat, a name that suits you well, another example of attacking a person who has another point of view that does not match yours. Since you live in the Heights according to your name, you have no idea what people will face especially when school parents and schools buses take Jersey and Newark to P.S. #3 and Middle School #4. Now there is talk of making Jersey Avenue leading into LSP into road. Just how much traffic can a place support before it stops? It doesn't bother you. You just like to throw your venom and live up to your name of Heights Brat.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of YOUR continual negative rants about how horrid everything is and it doesn't fit YOUR idea of Utopia. I have lived in the Heights where there are clusters of schools and any rational person learns to cope (except YOU). I reside in another area now, but not downtown, and the problems are still the same. YOU are just a bore. And judging by the posts by others I am not the only one. And by the way old girl, YOU have used this post before. And just to prove YOUR insanity, YOU can bore everyone with YOUR rants but I can't spew forth or have YOU forgotten this is a democracy and not the world according to Yvonne?

Have a nice life and remember YOUR kind of depression and obsession and stress kills. Take time and smell the roses and enjoy the coffee. But then again, since this is YOU we are talking about YOU probably hate roses because they make YOU sneeze and attract bees and the coffee probably makes YOU break out in hives. YOU are just a totally joyless person.

The Jersey Journal ran a story on murals in the spotlight section, so here is the question. Why are the majority of the murals in Downtown JC? The paper shows 7 murals in print, 6 are in downtown JC, five of the six are on Newark Avenue, the other is Cole Street. The other image in the paper is on MLK Drive. Isn't there six wards in the city? Also, there is a ?Take a Tour Box? on the murals which list the addresses of all of the murals, it is heavy with downtown addresses. This reminds me of complaints at Board of Ed meetings that school money goes to downtown schools.

I thought the balls were tasty, but excess plastic packaging - in this era of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - is a real peeve of mine, so I probably won't be back.

I get that having plastic wrap inside and outside of the ball keeps the seaweed crispy, but the planet has bigger problems than soggy rice balls.

yeah, I'm *that* guy.

Uber & Lyft = app-assisted hitchhiking. Just google "Uber safety" and there are a number of hair-raising issues and incidents. No thanks. I'll pay the extra bucks for a properly licensed, regulated and insured taxi or car service.

There are more people on the payroll now than under Healy, more people means more salaries and higher taxes eventually.

just one example, Paterson, NJ, only 2/3 the size of Jersey City saved more than $2m annually by switching to flat fees for insurance brokers. what did our city council do ? approved hiring/retaining a broker, not for the typical 1 year time frame, but locked us into a 3 year agreement and locked us out of potential cost savings.

if you are genuine, I am and happy to meet and talk further.

Jersey City Councilman Michael Yun talks municipal taxes, ?political tricks?

the budget still has not been passed, and it does not include much in the way of cost savings/reduction.

So Dan, what would you and your Team Healy have proposed to do here? It's easy to say "cut spending!" but what would you actually do if you and Team Healy won? What items would you cut from the budget?

It is difficult to get on the train during rush hour at Grove and Pavonia. The train is already packed from Journal Square riders who make up Bayonne, Greenville, Harrison and Newark. It is the reason I said a Marion station would go directly to Grove bypassing Journal Square. Personally, I like a little breathing room on the train.

I must say while Yvonne never ceases to provide great comic relief with her obsessive behavior, this one really takes the cake for the past few weeks. Firstly, I hope you are calling New Jersey Lenni Lenape Land, yes Yvonne? I believe America was referred to as "Anowarkowa" so please do NOT say America. Also, is Luis Marin not worthy of respect? Why is Henderson more worthy than Marin? Because he came first?

Joking aside, I love how this "issue" is framed as so dire! Really, if someone didn't know who Yvonne was, they would think this is a joke. Yvonne, since your obsessive/compulsive behavior leads you to dwell on things like this, I think you should create a low budget YouTube video about this issue. I'm pretty sure the taxis were moved because of ABATEMENTS!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!! Thank you.

You clearly don't know Bubba.

You clearly have an issue with Fulop and some sort of bromantic stalker fixation with Christie. You joined JCList the day after the election last year - never missing an opportunity to bash Fulop while going to great, often awkward lengths to defend Christie at the same time - and you've done it at a clip of better than 100 posts a month - so it's probably personal on some level.

It's summertime. Lighten up! Go upstairs and step outside - get some sunshine.

Every year, St. Ann Polish R.C. Church on St. Pauls and Tonnele honors the Blessed Sacrament for Corpus Christi Day. The police is always there to stop the traffic. St. Pauls and Tonnele have high volume of traffic. This is the first time this parade happened under the Fulop administration and the ball was dropped. No cops appeared even though they were called again so you have children, strollers, mothers, and fathers, over 100 people trying to avoid the traffic as the priest holds up the Blessed Sacrament visiting shrines in front of people homes.

Today is the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. Jersey City lost people to that invasion including former Mayor Cucci who lost a brother. Between World War 1 and 2 Jersey City residents have served and some have lost their lives. Mercer Street at one time had a plaque that said "Old Glory," due to the large number of people, basically immigrants who served and died in the wars. Lining the streets, I saw the flags flying proudly on Avenue C in Bayonne. Sadly, JC is doing nothing to honor those veterans.

Yvonne - Why do you specify WWI & WWII? JC residents have fought and lost loved ones in every war. What are your criteria on the battles we should give a special "honor" to? Will you be upset if there aren't flags up to honor Iwo Jima, or Gettysburg? How about the battle of Yorktown? I'm sure JC has a stake in those historic battles as well. .

Rupert Murdoch the genius behind Fox News and their "fair and balanced" reporting is creating tablets and controlling the curriculum for student learning. I am hearing rumors JCPS are adopting these for next year. Anyone else hearing this? It wouldn't surprise me in the least based on Marcia Lyles political circles.
