The real irony is that this show concept is perfect for Hoboken - yet they turned the show down.

This show is not a fit at all for JC, it's a real head scratcher - and yet our buffoon leaders happily accept the money, err, "recognition".

They want you in court so that the JCPA can try to extract more money from you than the face value of the ticket. The offer might be that if you pay the court $200 they would make the ticket disappear and no points on your record.

Parking ticket carry no points.

Same thing happened to me. Parked in a red zone. Tried to pay online to no avail so I dropped tix and a check in the mail. They were mailed back with a note that I must call Traffic Violations for a court appearance. Funny, the Court Appearance box was not checked off on the ticket. Wondering why I have to go to court for a parking violation?? Will call tomorrow and keep you posted.

With this record, why don't we have a better service instead of being treated like cattle - this record would also suggest that profits are higher!

I was just reading the WSJ and I am shocked that NYC/Manhattan property taxes are much higher than I imagined. People talk as if NYC taxes SOOOOO much lower than Jersey City's - they may be lower but no astronomically lower.

Everyone seems very confused as to why some areas are successful and others are not. Its the PATH. Build a subway form Greenville to Manhattan and there will be renaissance there as well.

I assumed people would know that the TJs and Mitsuwa both in Edgewater are a minute walk from each other. Also, whether i go to the TJs in Edgewater or the ones in NYC both can take up too an hour and a half each way. Because i don't have a car and because of the weekend schedule for light rail, Path and NJ transit bus. The bus being the worse in terms of being on schedule especially in the evening.

You definitely should double check if its possible to get to TJs and Mitsuwa as i have described....yeah know just in case. Good looking out and all 07310.

2 ghosts in the building one on the 4th floor and one on the third floor. Renovations should make them very active.

Where you part of the candle making operation? That what I remember what was going on there when I bought the old boxing gym building down the street back in late 2001.

I love a good ghost story.. what's the deal with the two that you mentioned?

"Why are you spending an hour and half to go to Edgewater when you can take the PATH to 23rd st a 15-20 min trip where there is a Trader Joes 21st & 7th and Whole Foods 24th & 7th, a few blocks away from the 23rd st station?"

For the person who stated the above quote, i am not sure if you read all my messages for this thread.

I go to the Edgewater TJs cause i get to hit up Mitsuwa as well. And many times I have gone to the city for TJs. But i only have time on the weekends for shopping and no car....as part of my options . It can also take alot of time. Remember on the Weekend the Path always goes to Hoboken first. And depending on the time...you have to wait for the Path a good 40 mins. And even before all that I have to take the Light Rail to the Path station.

I am so not rich at all and I shop at TJs. Many of the basics there are cheaper or equal in price to the major supermarkets. For example, Almond Milk or Soy Milk some of the major brand ones(although TJs has their own brand) is many times a dollar or more cheaper than say the local shoprite. I always pick up one or two of them.

Also, for someone who doesn't have a car at the moment the trip to Edgewater can take an hour and half(one way) or more because I can only go on the weekends. I have to take the lightrail and then wait most of the times up to 40 mins especially if its later in the evening for a NJ Transit bus. So it would be awesome to see a TJs at JC or Bayonne.

Working with realtors when you are selling your property yourself is not the same as listing with a realtor for a low commission. When you sell your house yourself, it's more like you are your own broker, and you split the 5% or 6% commission with the buyer's agent. Brokers and realtors usually cooperate with each other anyway, so why not just be your own broker, do your own open houses, and cooperate with other brokers.

When I first moved into Hudson Country (late 80's), much of Newport was still a no-man's land.

Just for fun.. here is a pick of what the area above the Newport/Pavonia PATH stop looked like in the 70's.

Rent was so high not to mention purchasing a place. forget it.

We moved to downtown Jersey city because it is very similar to parts of Brooklyn, it has all the charm, but the homes seemed to have much more chance of an upside as opposed to Brooklyn and Hoboken.

However, neighborhoods change rapidly and becuase of the convenience of downtown JC to the city I have already seen a major increase in great restaurants and shops.

I can only hope my foresight and intuitions were right and the homes increase in value.
get in now when you still can ;)

I'm trying to lower my bills and wonder if anyone has found a cheaper alternative to Comcast, such as Direct TV or Dish Network. Right now I have the bundle (TV, phone, internet) and pay over $200 per month. I wouldn't mind unbundling to save some dough. Any ideas or experiences out there?
