It's an observation many share, but would be better 'managed' with government input and sponsorship. Then again the church and charity groups could pull their finger out more.
Do we have or heard of any homeless shelters run by the major religious organizations in the NJ / JC ?

I'm aware many soup kitchen are run by charity organizations, but not clear if there are any religious ones !

Isn't it ironic how the same Democrats who tell everyone not to panic over Ebola are going full tilt to convince people TO panic over natural climate change?

I tried to buy a church in JC about 10 years ago and they had some silly rule on the books that it had to stay a church... maybe that has changed, I hope so.

Apparently that stuff is unenforceable, look up the story of the Synagogue on Grove that is now a mosque. They tried to put in the deed that it could never be a house of worship other than Orthodox Jewish, the new buyers did what they wanted.

If a church turns a property into rentals, does it still pay no tax?

Also the Synagogue that was turned into condos on 5th street between Erie & Manila. I've always been curious about that one, old wooden Synagogue with beautiful windows.

I'm looking for a recommendation for an independent pharmacy in the Lafayette area that offers good customer service, etc. They should be in the vicinity of the Foundry (1 mile) and deliver. Thanks.

In the 60's for a brief time there were cars for "ladies only" and they were perfumed. Anyone remember?

I wonder how the people of JC took the late 20s. Today the PATH has less than 65% of the riders they had back then (H&M RR).

If the comment in the NY Times concerns PATH services, why is the service horrible? The trains are packed when it arrives in Journal Square from Harrison, from Journal to Grove, you cannot get on. It is packed due to more people who live in Harrison and especially JC. And what are we doing to make the service worse? We are bringing in more development with more people to pack the trains. Fulop is contributing to the overcrowding which makes the service bad. He also shares the blame.

Must. Resist. Urge. To sharpie the hell out of these ads on the PATH, as I'm pressed up against the crowd induce the already too packed trains.

Are any of those containers of Low Sodium chicken broth worth using. Just in the mood to poach some chicken in broth, shread it and add noodles.

What's going on at the space between LITM and Skinner's Loft? Anyone know what's going there?

The Wine Library is in Springfield, NJ, steps away from Short Hills-and they have, generally, great prices. They base their prices on margin and volume. Not many places in JC have the space available for that method. (And when you have liquor stores with cashiers behind bulletproof glass, you know the prices/selection won't be great.

Why don't you call the parking authority or the police non emergency number. They don't make you give you information.

Our POTUS decides, with the mid-terms coming up, to appoint a political hack/spinmeister as the Ebola czar, rather than someone with ANY background in medicine. Just a horrible, self-serving pick. Truly disgraceful.
