And there's a big difference between saying hello to a new business and being a "Central Ave regular" as I put it earlier. Hopefully you're able to decipher that.



No, could you clarify please?

re: frosted windows. I went for one private event. People off the street kept coming in. It wasn't a big problem for me, because I was only there for a few hours, but when your kitchen is the front of the house, it must get old to stop what you're doing to explain to the Central Ave regulars that they can't come in.


Makes you wonder why they set up shop in a shopping area with such high foot traffic. It doesn't sound very inviting. If I were to walk in, wanting to check out a new establishment, only to be told I had to leave I'd probably never return.

Is the owner of the embankment that runs along 6th street responsible for snow removal? The sidewalks that run between 5th and 6th streets get treacherous during the winter. They were virtually ignored for most of last winter resulting in a sheet of ice that had to be at least 6 inches thick.

It looks like a building that would lease commercial office space in the suburbs rather than an apt building that will echo the Historic District?s ?rhythmic brick rowhouses? ... whatever that means.

This happened to me. I called them up and they said "no yiu didnt recently serve." I said yes i absolutely did. They finally looked me up and found that i had mutiple accounts. Their data systems are so awful they can't or don't even run basic de-duping of address records coming in from DMV vs other sources. My two records resulted from one showing '2nd St' and the other having street spelled out. Ridiculous...and explains why it felt like I was getting called all the time. But i will say that the person who picked up the phone was super helpful once she realized i was telling the truth.


I compared the two notices and my address was different on both of them: "8 Street" on one and "8th Street" on the other.

I called the jury office and now I don't have to serve for three years. Guy who helped me was super nice.

I had jury duty on October 21 and 22 of 2014. I got called up again for 1/28.

Should I complete the online questionnaire anyway? I really don't want to take a day off of work to tell them I already served. (Yes. I have proof that I served.)

Been seeing a lot more scooters giving out tickets. Saw one person get hit with two tickets one morning. The first for being parked in a cross walk and the other for street sweeping 15 minutes later.

I used to walk across this intersection as well as 2nd and Marin a fair bit. My sense was that the typical driver up or down Marin tends to exceed the speed limit and is often oblivious of the "stop for pedestrian" signage and other signals.

I had a few exchanges with drivers who would honk, yell or glare if I would attempt to walk across Marin using the crosswalk in full view of the "stop for pedestrian" signage.

Part of it I think is just typical Jersey driving nonchalance and a sensibility that cars come before pedestrians. And that kind of thinking often means higher odds of t-bone collisions.


Most drivers seem to ignore the "stop for pedestrian" signage. A while back they put up those signs in all the intersections of Jersey Ave. Most people stopped initially but, as time went on, it went back to the old routine. I noticed most of those signs are gone now.


This. How much could these signs possibly cost? I'm unclear as to if they're being moved from location to location and why they can't simply be left semi-permanently in targeted areas.


For what it's worth, I've seen a few that were broken and pushed off to the side of the road. Not sure if they've been hit by cars but it wouldn't really surprise me.

Finally figured it out

JSQ - 33rd is being slowed down to 12 minutes from 10 minutes
NWK - JSQ is being slowed down from 10-15 minutes all the way to 20 minutes.

So yeah, more cuts to service. I expect by this time next year they will just shut the entire system down and put locks on the entrance. But you will have to pay $5 to look at the entranceway.

edit: actually, it's not clear if this is just for weekends, or weekdays too? I think it's just weekends, in which case it might be a service increase? Someone needs to grab one of the actual physical schedules in the station and report back.


So PATH riders are now paying more than MTA riders all while getting less service. Sweet merciful crap!

Increasing the frequency? Puh-leeze. It'll probably be a cold day in hell before that happened!



Seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually cut service.

I get it. These people moved to NJ and refuse to admit that they moved to NJ. Thus they must grasp onto some misguided idea that their area is "just as cool" as the place they left.

Aaron Morrill, who owns Two Boots Pizza just up the block on Newark Avenue, said he sees a "pretty stark" drop in business those afternoons, too. Morrill said he "embraces competition," but thinks there should be a limit to the amount of prepared food for sale at the market. "Farmers markets are for farmers, or items made with local ingredients," he said, adding that many of the farmers market vendors aren't even based in Jersey City.


He's complaining about a farmer's market that's open two days a week. Is there a pizza vendor at the farmer's market?

Wonder what he'll be complaining about when Porta pizza opens up!

That should absolutely be the expectation. But, like in the OP's experience, reality is that it can take years to catch up.


My neighbors across the hall bought their apt 3 years ago and gutted the place and completely renovated. He did all the work so I doubt they took out permits.

We pay the same exact taxes.
