Five Guys does a much better burger than LB, IMO.

A few blocks? half the price?

Neither of those statements are true.

Uh.... interesting development on 5th street (btw. Jersey and Coles). The street seems to have cracked and is spewing forth water.

That can't be good. Fire and water folks are on the scene, though.

No, if he wanted to screw with JC he'd figure a way to stop paying 76% of the school costs here and put the burden back on JC taxpayers!

And here is where the thread begins to tailspin.

Nonsense, I only responded to the beginning of the tailspin, didn't I? I suppose you should have posted to mrags first comment, no? Yes.

Sorry to hijack.

I am having heating issues on my first floor, as a renter. My second floor is very warm, however the first floor feels as if it definitely needs a space heater. There is close to a 10 degree discrepancy between floors especially in the morning.

Do I have rights as a renter when it comes to this? (I assume this is what you were getting at.)

Can you harass your landlord? Sure! That's what we live for. I had a tenant stand there in a 70 deg room after calling me at 10pm complaining it's cold. When I pointed out that it was January and she was only wearing a tank top and shorts, she replied "that's bullshit".

What kind of heat do you have, a boiler for the whole building or do you have your own the thermostat? There's lots of causes of such imbalances, such as tenants blocking the convection of radiators or a bad vent valve.

Are you a renter or an owner? Do you have a cold room, or an inadequate heating system? What is the existing heat?

What is up with the new digital sign on the front of this place? They threw up one of those scrolling (right-to-left) LCD signs that you'd normally see on a pawn shop or cash-for-gold joint.

Plus a bunch of the lights are out on the thing and it hasn't been programmed, so it just scrolls a bunch of generic messages and gibberish.

There have been more than a couple attacks/muggings on Erie Street recently, which is very alarming.

There was a mugging on Erie and the embankment on Thursday the 21st at 8:30 pm. Two short black kids punched a woman on the face and knocked her down, ran off with her phone towards Manila on 5th. Cops were there within 5 minutes, have there been other recent instances?

With the place on Erie closing, we could really use a Mexican take out place in the HP area aside from Taco Bell and Qdoba. I rarely feel like schlepping all the way down to the Grove St area just for food.

Soul Flavors was worth it though...well worth it. Damn.

I am always glad to see positive articles about JC and of course about the food scene, but it would be nice if one of them came out and wasn't full of this condescending, "oh, wow, there are people on the other side of the river who aren't aliens or thugs". I have lived here since 1999 and had the sensitivity to realize I wasn't the Christopher Columbus of Harsimus Cove, and it kills me to keep reading the same "I'm a genius for finding New Jersey" crap fifteen years later. Oh well. It's a blessing and a curse, I suppose.

I had a friend that worked at the Daily News. He grew up and lived in New Jersey. His editor told him, "If it was up to me, I'd never hire anyone but New Yorkers." This mindset isn't going away anytime soon...

Welcome to JC! I moved here 12 years ago as a 20 something and am still here as a married 30 something mom. This town is strangely compelling, despite what the detractors say. We were briefly contemplating a move to the suburbs when our child was born, but the suburbs just weren't for us. My hubby said he "felt like his life was over" when we were looking at houses in the burbs. lol! JC is a great place to live.
