What makes you say they are fake? It is pretty common to see things like a white pickup truck with fire department plates parked on the striped lines outside the Lucky 7 bar, like I saw last night.
Why should they have to follow the rules?

I thought Hot and Toasty bagels were good, when they were fresh. The problem is, they usually didn't have enough in stock, and they weren't fresh. One of the problems with baking off premises.
Wonder Bagels still gets the nod from me for baking on premises.

I realize it is a chain, but part of my soul died when I saw that the store's name is New York Bagel Cafe. And whole grain rosemary-thyme bagel with sundried tomato artichoke hummus? And a Kona with rice milk? Whatever happened to a poppy seed bagel with a schmear and a cup of coffee? What is this world coming to?
However, to step back a bit, I am all for fierce competition in the bagel realm. I am glad they are open, and I can't wait to try this place and give my verdict. I probably won't be ordering an oat-apple-mint bagel with Nutella and cr?me fra?che, I'll probably stick to the regular. . . .

Re: Port Authority police car, JCMC ambulance in collision in Downtown Jersey City
|
||||
---|---|---|---|---|

From the pictures, this is to me what it looks like happened:
PA vehicle was traveling on 8th street, went through intersection, and was hit by ambulance, probably in right rear quarter panel to spin the SUV around and also get it up on two wheels, and then over. Ambulances are heavy vehicles, and besides, sometimes it doesn't take much to tip a high-center-mass vehicle over. I once saw a cargo van get pushed over by a Honda Accord at low speeds (below 25 mph). So, the ambulance could have been driven slowly and still tipped the SUV over. Did the PA vehicle stop at the stop sign? Well, to get that much farther down the road from the intersection after getting hit, he would have had to have had some significant forward momentum. Maybe he went through the stop sign in one of those typical high-speed rolling stops I see pretty often. On the other hand, maybe he stopped, saw the intersection clear, and then proceeded through, only to see an ambulance barreling down at him at high speed; ambulance hits brakes (folks heard squeals), SUV hits gas to get out of the way, increasing his forward momentum, but still there is a collision. So, it is a long-winded way of saying that either party could have been at fault. So don't jump to any conclusions. The only thing I think is certain is that at least one of them did something wrong. . . .

Thirty Jersey City Heights schoolkids win grand prize trip to Disney World and $10,000 for their Reservoir Project
Quote: Seventh-graders at the Christa McAuliffe School 28 in Jersey City Heights were expecting an assembly about Earth Day at 10 a.m. yesterday. The good news is that they won, and they are going to Disney World. The bad news is their proposal probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. Maybe this prize will elevate the issue enough so that the reservoir will be preserved as a resource instead of turned into just another city block. . . .

There is a very active soccer community in JC, but unfortunately, there aren't many places to play.
There is a very nice field near Grand and Merseles, near the Turnpike entrance downtown, but for some reason it is for Hans Soliz league teams only. The other youth teams I know of play at the athletic fields at Caven Point. Sadly, while the football, baseball, and softball fields are well-maintained, the soccer field is unlit and poorly maintained, so playing there can be a real challenge--there are huge ruts in the field in front of the goals and in the center of the field. It's really an embarrassing field to play on. I believe those athletic fields are maintained by the Jersey City Board of Education. Oh, and I went to see Pele play for the Cosmos way back when--good times! They are bringing back a team under the Cosmos name soon, I believe.

So you say, Amy. So you say.
But really, the man works in JC. He "reverse commutes" on the PATH and spends most of his waking hours here so that he can take money out of the pockets of our unconscious injured citizens to maintain his lavish, water-tower-strewn lifestyle in another location. He may not sleep here, but he is very much JC. He should run for city government.

Yeah, it sounds nice, but can you name any mega-developments that have resulted in a "classic neighborhood"? What does that even mean? Sounds like developer smoke being blown up approval board's ass. I would like to follow this and see what Carl Goldberg's vision of a "classic neighborhood" turns out to be. Unusable green space, like that done by LeFrak? A high-end grocer, with Manhattan prices? A spa? Neighborhoods are built by the people who live there, not by the fiat of some development company. I wonder how the folks in Paulus Hook feel about not being a neighborhood, instead being only an "interesting area."
