They've been here before, but it's totally bullshit that the parking people target them. makes me wanna boot the little trucks that go around ticketing. See how they like it. Fascists.

my husband went there a couple years ago and was basically dry humped in the chair. The guy cutting his hair was rubbing himself all over my husband. So for a man who HATES going to get haircuts and would rather cut it himself with clippers, this made him never go out to get a professional haircut again... so thanks dry humping guy.

I say we just get rid of seats altogether and make everyone stand like cattle. But then you will have someone sit on the floor taking more than their share as well.... When will those tubes to transport people be put into play? I thought the Jetsons had the right idea... no interaction with one another, especially before we have our morning coffee ;)

I think that space is so odd.... i have seen a little bit of everything in that space. Remember when they sold soap? And then all last winter there was a random straw horse and lots of lamps? Now THAT looked like some weird cover for something... but a really bad one! There are doomed spots all on Jersey Ave... but hey! If that cookie place on Jersey and Cristopher Columbus broke the curse, then any of the others can too!

Ha, that is funny... My husband and I always joke that those pot holes are what makes Jersey City. When we drive from Hoboken to JC, we know we crossed the border once we hit a pot hole.

Lemme ask the in laws... since they are the ones that contact him.... i am not sure of his info. I will totally PM you the info.

my in-laws stay at a place in Newport when they come to town. He stays at his girlfriends or is out of town a lot, so it works out. He charges something like 60 bucks a night, which is cheaper than hotels. I know they always leave him something as a thank you. But granted, these are 60 year old parents...

I do know he has opened it up to other people but not sure how those have worked out. I did it for my friend's parents when i was out of town.

i agree that noone should be pushed out... but unfortunately that is the way it is. i remember going to college and visiting a friend in Williamsburg when it was not so friendly place to visit. Now i can't even afford to live there. it's unfortunate, yes.

Not to dismiss anyone else's jobs, I am plainly responding to the fact that the WALDO district was made as an art district. Hence the reason that all these "artist lofts" are being put there, so that they are allowed to remain in that area. Draws people to them.

Yes i rent... but i don't plan to my whole life. I agree. I don't want to leave this area and would love to be able to afford living here, but in reality, i will have to find a tiny place in a not so safe area where i am not really wanted in. I won't be able to create my art in my small condo which will then stop me from making art. Renting allows me to live where i do currently, and allows me to make small art in my larger than if i owned condo.

So as someone who is stuck in the middle, between retardly wealthy and poor, I get to suffer too. And as to referring to other professions... why would i take my college education and work retail or work in business? I am not saying that i deserve more than anyone else, and if you read it that way, you read wrong. I am merely responding to "Why should so-called `artists' get subsizied or set-aside housing? If you choose to go into a profession that keeps you impoverished, well, that's yer fault. Christ, anyone can claim to be an artist these days. Just look at most of today's art - IT SUCKS!"

I have the same rights as the people in those houses on Montgomery. And yes, I do work for a living and make art.

oh thanks. needing metal gears for an upcoming art project and just wanted to find places to get them. Got a couple at a flea market, but feel like smashed up metal might be a better place to look.

Well considering that area was originally proclaimed to be an artist area, and tearing down of 111 First Street.... a lot of artists, like myself have been displaced. The thing that kills me is WHAT artist is able to live in these "luxury artist lofts"..... the answer is none. They use the word artist to draw people to the area cause that word makes yuppies think new, hip, interesting....

As for saying screw the artists... well now that just shows how uneducated you may be. If there was no such thing as artists, you would have nothing to look at, no music to listen to and nowhere to live, except a thatched hut. But that is right, good thing we look past us "stupid artists" cause we choose this as a profession. Look, I didn't want to be a cookie cutter person. I think there are enough of those out there.... I wanted to do something that i love to do... not something that would impress people such as yourself. And don't worry. We can't live there. We are the people that make bad areas of a city cool and then get pushed out- look at SOHO for an example. So don't worry, you don't have to look at us. Just sit in your white walled apartment and don't look at anything. Cause us artists are pointless.

my husband misses Carribean Cafe, but i think they were always too stoned that they never had anything. Or would tell you they didn't have it until like 5 minutes into your waiting.

I miss Rachel's. she was sweet and i am craving their salads and sandwiches. I miss that brie sandwich with the mango.... yum. I tried making it, not the same.

I know there is a metal scrap yard in Jersey City, seen the trucks driving around on trash day loaded with random metal pieces. Where is this? Anyone know anything about it? Could i go there and purchase or find items? Any info is helpful.

Thanks

I guess i am going to be the pissed off person on this topic as I think this is unbelievable. FIRST off, you know how your pet is. If your pet is aggressive or unsure, then you keep them away from other dogs. I have been in that court many times with mine, though mine will just stand there and not play. SECONDLY: I have lived on 8th street and been "priced" out of the area too, doesn't mean we got bad dogs. The area is changing and i don't think that is a viable excuse. You are a bad dog owner and just a plain old a**hole. You don't care about your dog or what it does to others... end of story. I know a woman that walked her dog around the park and not interact with other people cause she KNEW what her dog was like. That lady was nice.

If i had a kid and knew it hit other kids, would i take care of that child or have it hang around other children?

Also do we all not remember the dog that killed the puppy last year? Shall i remind everyone of THAT case?

wow, you are a complete winner.... really? was that at all cool? Yes it is not a dog run. But it is also not a cricket field, volleyball court or a place for children to run around in and I have seen it used for all of those... So if you want to get down to technical details.... it doesn't have a net for tennis anyways. So how about you play nice or you not allowed in the make shift dog run.... AND if this was a child that was hurt, everyone would be even more up in arms about this.... Dogs are OUR children, so come on....

The sad thing is that there are cops in the park, but the police people with good dogs and stuff like that. It's a shame but typical. Cops are just going to ride around in there little parking ticket cars that you can kick over. It's ridiculous. People with aggressive dogs should never be around other dogs. I agree, karma will bite back that a**hole and his dog. Poor Rosie..... Send her kisses and treats.
