I've done it as well - I agree, it's not horrible because a decent number of trains stop at the airport, but just allow time. Last time it was mid-day and the next train was delayed for 20+ minutes. I got anxious and just took a cab from the train station to the airport (there are a ton that sit there) and it was about 20 bucks.

I'm actually a bit surprised at how many people are expressing opinions that one side or the other was completely "right" or "wrong." I think some level of intervention by the police was needed - I don't know if I was the EMS I'd want the responsibility to make the call on whether a grenade is active or not. So I don't fault him for calling the police. Nor do I fault the police for arriving, clearly they needed to exhibit due diligence and look into the issue.
However, living directly across the street, the no-fewer-than-12 police and fire dept vehicles was absolutely excessive (possibly more down by Erie). Even if WORST case, the grenade was live AND did go off, was there a need for a 1:2 ratio (approx?) of police to residents. And honestly, all I noticed was most of the cops and fire-people (to be PC) shooting the s&*t and not actively doing anything. As soon as the situation was under control (and I can't believe that took 2 full hours), they should have moved on to the other events that were undoubtedly brewing across JC. Yes, Slacky probably should have put the grenades away, but when having a panic attack, you're not thinking clearly. And likely his state of mind caused authorities to become even more suspicious and it became a cycle that didn't end: their suspicions of him and the grenade was "validated" if he was stressed and that in turn probably stressed him more.... I think - to add to the other thread's advice about safety (regarding the mugging) - I'll start wearing inactive grenades as a necklace, both to ward off mugging and finally attract police presence. On a related-though-somewhat-of-a-shift-in topic, the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell discusses these issues of snap judgements and how and why we make them and I highly recommend it.

Esther is the woman taking over for Diane from Rags to Roses. Though we had one or two times that we gave some negative feedback (in about 20 times), Esther is great, responsive and cares about what she does. This is her email if you're interested.

I shamefully ask, having lived here almost 2 years and not having gone to areas other than Journal Square, Lincoln Park and downtown, what streets border this area of JC (other than Bergen and Lafayette?). Someone I met in yoga mentioned she lives there and loves it, but when looking at a map I wasn't sure where this area was (though I know I've passed signs for it).

Totally agree, Linky. My boyfriend and I actually witnessed a young girl hit by a van over the summer (at that same intersection, while they were fundraising). I thought certainly they'd stop doing that, or at least put tighter restrictions - like not being in the middle of the road and approaching from the sidewalk. Here's the post related to that thread if you're interested.
http://jclist.com/modules/newbb/viewt ... id=114972#forumpost114972 Needless to say, seeing that happen has made me overly cautious when it comes to walking, running, biking etc. - I wind up looking every direction (even the sky!) for traffic. It's amazing how quickly something can go wrong that the stuff that's in one's control, should be. Hopefully the incident with the two children has some lessons learned - from both the driver and the mother.

Rags to Roses is great - used them for a few mos and no complaints. Diane is the owner, she's wonderful and came highly recommended on other threads on JC List.

Correct Recycling Preparation?
|
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Home away from home

I've lived in JC for almost 2 years and finally feel I have the schedule and ideal trash and recycling preparation down. However, this morning I noticed that our normal bag of glass/plastic was left, and no others on the block was. I know sometimes they come back around, but it was 9 am, so I assume they were done.
I tried looking on the JC Municipal Services site for information, but found none. Does anyone know if they want recycling prepared differently - I see people with rubbermaids, not sure if that's preferred. Thanks!
