Sounds like a zoning issue to me.

Names aside, aren't Box, More and Sawadee owned by the same person (Sky Thai too?)"?

...and yet the new building on Jersey (old Borinquen hardware) is putting parking below ground.

Darn those old people for liking mobility.

My understanding is that this plan was already approved, finalized, funded etc in 2014 and that this meeting was held to inform the community of what is coming. Was there any Q&A or comment period?

Ah, I see your point. Perhaps she is waiting to hear the Turnpike Authority proposal (the specifics) before commenting.

Have you contacted her directly? She's quite responsive.

The traffic on Newark near Grove affecting the courthouse? Seriously? The traffic downtown doesn't even affect what goes on by Dickinson.

.....and once the roads and bridges are built.....this?

She's been my son's friend since pre-school. A sweet and funny person. The trash talk isn't so amusing when you know the object of it.

Flatbed seating? How about 2 more inches of leg room for the peasants. United Airlines = chiropractor.

Max Motion used to be around the corner on Montgomery and Marin. She's just moving back home....and a little closer to me. Yay!

Fingers crossed for great weather under starry skies!

Inability to make money often hinges on the price of the underlying land. If you overpay expecting to get variances, too bad on you

Brewster, I agree re LCCS math. The good news though is that both my children took Algebra II - Pre Cal as juniors and got to AP Calc as seniors. The bad news is that the great Mrs. Finn who is the Algebra II - Pre Cal goddess is retiring this spring. She was the boys' favorite math teacher of all time.

The Jersey Avenue development has moved parking below street level.

From June 20, 2013 Planning Board minutes of final approval. Maybe Jeff Wenger at Planning can provide access to artist's rendering of building.

Seven stories -- apartments above, parking below street level and retail at street level.

Royal Heating, yes.

I was there over the weekend. I didn't see families with children and they do not have high chairs. Nevertheless, when I asked about children because my niece was considered joining us with her toddler, I was told he would be quite welcome -- that "children are our future."

Descriptions are is on the police report, regardless of whether they are accurate. The newspaper is making an editorial decision (which they have a right to do) that some information is either not relevant to the public or is damaging in some other way. I just wonder why bother giving any description at all if you publish only snippets of it.

Another point of view....http://www.newyorker.com/business/cur ... ronts-in-the-west-village

That's what I asked the editor. Who cares if the guy was wearing a grey hoodie that's now in the sewer? Certainly immutable characteristics might be more helpful. If you report height or build, why not skin tone. Well, they don't want to be accused of picking on one group or another.

As an editor at the Jersey Journal said to me, what, are you going to try to find him? (Re question about lack of the "obvious" in their descriptions)

This site is approved under a Redevelopment Plan for 7 stories, like Charles & Co and the building going in at the former Borinquen site.

Why are liberals on this hook for this?

VVPA will be hosting another meeting on this project on June 2 at 7 pm in Barrow Mansion. See vvpa.org for details.

Yvonne, I'm that would be easy enough to find out. Do you have any reason to believe that Rutgers, Montclair State and NJCU are accepting high school students from non-accredited schools? You do know that all charter school teachers are state-certified by law, right?
