Why not post like the past months??

Actually Jimmy I put a dollar in becuase I know times are tough now for realtors!!

Oh, so that's who that guy was!!

It's time to start thinking of renaming Jersey City to Jungle City.

Where's Jimmy B when you need him??

This ordinance is good in principle, but the noise levels don't seem realistic.

Regarding Nico's (now York St. Tavern), there was an issue with noise but the larger issue there was the gangs of people (mostly 20-something a-holes not from the area) that would make noise, p!ss in the street and curse like MFers at 2AM after the bar closed. Not sure if York St. Tavern has the same issues, but I do know their food sucks and by the looks of things it's still a dive, just a different name.

Anything for September?? Curious to see how things held up.

I used to live on York St. in Paulus Hook, a historic district - it wasn't a brownstone though. I had a DirecTV dish on my front window (3rd fl) and one of the tennents gave me some junk about I wan't suppose to have it because of the historic district (meanwhile there was a telephone pole in front of the building w/ a billion wires on it and I've seen plenty of other dishes in Paulus Hook). Anyway, I remember something on the FCC website regarding satellite dishes and how you cannot be denied access to programming via a dish. Try either the DirecTV or FCC website. The condo board where you live cannot deny your access as this regulated by federal law. They may have a say on how/where the wires are run.

Ahhh, I've been quoted by the New York Times... book tour begins next week!

The news article from 2007 said that 320 units were sold at Trump and now in the Times article only 200 have been sold - seems like buyers are starting to wise up, or more likely financing has dried up.

This article in yesterday's NYT Real Estate section states that the Trump condos aren't even half sold - surprising since this project was announced over 3 yrs. ago.

At least this explains why crime is so high in Hudson County- the police are busy arresting people for petit incidents like this instead of going after real criminals - robbers, mugger, killers, etc. I can just imagine all of the money that was spent processing this guy - going from city to city, the police's valuable time spent, etc. all for $1.90.

GVC, I don't see what the cops did wrong - they investigated and then pulled over the driver that fit the description of the man involved in the shooting. The suspect was the one that hit the cop.

I'll admit I'm wrong if things turn out different - bu this looks cut and dry.

Where's Greenevillechick to defend these low-lifes and tell us how these oppressed suspects are justified for all of the shooting.

The one dude that was pulled over in the car and had a gun was lucky that he wasn't shot at by the cops - it's usually not a good thing to sit on a gun when being pulled over by the cops, especially if you're an ex-con.

You don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Too bad he didn't get thrown in the slammer - he would be singing (or should I say squealing) a different tune!

Bravo!!

This is the way it should be - let the police be the judge, jury and executioner - stop wasting the taxpayers' dollars on public defenders, jails, appeals, etc.

Hey folks, this is Jersey City, what did you expect, city employees to play by the rules? Come on!!

Greenville Chick - it sounds like these two have really reformed themselves and have become model citizens - getting capped in the 'hood and not talking - I guess that's a liberal's definition of giving someone a second (and third, and forth...) chance.

Bleeding heart liberals.

Two ex-cons shot on the street ... and justice for all!!!

With the state of the economy, the war, housing, unemployment, the price of gas, etc., etc., it's amazing that McCain and Obama are tied in the polls. That says a lot about Obama - of what he is or in this case, what he isn't. All of his hoopla over change, change, change has to be backed up with specifics - at this point I just see him as another politician blowing hot air like the rest of them.

Many people are caught up with him but couldn't name one thing he has accomplished (as a senator, NOT being the first black candidate for President) or give specifics on HOW he plans to CHANGE the mess in Washington DC - if their dear life depended upon it.

Not necessarily the name that is odd, but why does Grove St. start out as 'Grove St.' up near 16th St., then change to 'Manila Ave.' around 12th St., then back to 'Grove St.' down near First St. I guess this Mr. Manila guy was not important enough to have the entire street named after him

Ansky,

This "Mr. Manila" guy is also known as the capital of the Philippines - take a walk down the street and you'll see a lot of Filipinos living on this street as well as throughout JC.

Duh.

How's the crime over there next to Montgomery Gardens? Location, location, location!!!

Lock 'em up and throw the key away!!!

Do like our esteemed politicians do when they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar - please stupidity, I mean ignorance.

Maybe the market will be "back" when this project is completed in a few years...

Double dipping and a double shot on the rocks for Healy!

This just proves how bad the RE market is - this building has been marketed for nearly two years and it is still not sold out. Things probably won't get better any time soon as new units from Liberty Harbor, Trump, Inside A, etc., etc. are coming on the market and new developments in the area will be starting soon. Also, potential buyers at WALDO should be aware of a new development that is scheduled to start contruction this summer and is located on the south side of WALDO Lofts. The project was originally designed as a 10 story bldg. but there is some talk that the developer is trying to get approval for a taller building - either way, the south-facing units will likely have their views/sunlight blocked in the not too distant future.

Yeah, Good Luck, you'll need it. What's Obama's SOLUTION to high gas prices???

With regard to 99 Montgomery St., there are units for sale there, but in my opinion, way overpriced. Mont-Greene is expensive as well, but the ammenities are very nice.
