More delays due to the shitty construction standards at the world's most expensive train station - now the Oculus is leaking water, pushing back the opening into the first half of 2016, not that anyone who commutes through there daily had any illusions it would open this year.

But here is the real gem buried in the story: "By fall of next year, two new PATH train platforms are to be in service, in addition to those already used by commuters. Finally, the mezzanine above the platforms, which is linked to the Oculus by a grand staircase, is to be finished by the end of next year. The authority has abandoned its plan to open an interim passageway through the Oculus."

Another example of fine communication from the PA. Can't wait for another winter of trudging across the WTC site in the snow.

There's not much of a view currently as half the North side units look directly into the back of the Waldo lofts building on 2nd street (this really sucks for whoever bought in that building by the way). That little 50 foot wide cavern they're creating between the buildings on that block is really horrendous. I don't care what the amenities are like or how fancy the appliances are, I couldn't imagine paying 700k to live in a box with no natural light and a direct view into the back end of another building. People complain about the lack of parking and the proliferation of gigantic towers throughout the city but to me, this block is the worst example of planning/zoning gone awry.

This place is going to attract fat. unhealthy people or very young people who can care less about consuming fried chicken grease by the quart.

Here is a write up in the journal.


South House brings Texas blues and hospitality to Jersey City

south house won't attract "fat, unhealthy people" any more than panera bread will attract skinny people. it will, however, probably continue to attract young people because it's a big, nice bar that is open late.

Our cat broke through a window screen and fell from our fourth story window on the corner of Essex and Washington, while we were at work today. He is not near our building, we're very worried and are hoping that someone may have seen him or taken him to animal control or the vet. We've called the local vets with no luck. He is a 10 lb, 2 year old, black cat with white patches on his chest and belly. He's friendly and answers to Monty. He is microchipped. Any information, please contact me through email at teresa.tully@gmail.com

I bought a 10 lb bag of raw chicken for a BBQ that didn't end up getting used. As I'm moving out, is there somewhere I can donate the chicken? It is in good condition.

Best to wrap it well and put it in the trash...

there is a soup kitchen on erie street

We are thinking of leasing our condo. Ours is 700sqft one bedroom, one bathroom. Looking around other comps in the neighborhood (although there aren't that many comparable rentals in our immediate neighborhood), I've been thinking $2150/month. But realtors who have seen it tell us that we can go higher (I'm skeptical).

It is a very nice unit though. Obviously, I'm biased, but it's right on Van Vorst Park and 5 minute walk to Grove Street PATH.

I have two schools of thought. One is to at least try to lease it at a high as the realtors had suggested ($2400). But I do worry if a tenant is paying as much as $2400, he or she may complain about even smallest things that could possibly go wrong (like changing a light bulb).

I would personally like to lease it for a little bit lower than it can be to someone who feels lucky to live there for that rent.

Anyway, a difficult decision is ahead of me.
