This. It's actually very little used. The fact is it's NOT considered a through street by any locals I know. If I'm going from HP to the post office, I don't make a left from Jersey on Newark, I make it on Columbus, because I know how clunky the lights for the zigzag at Grove are. No one makes a right from Grove onto Newark who isn't planning on trying to find a parking spot to shop on those blocks, otherwise they'd have made the right onto 2nd or Bay. The ONLY time I ever drive Newark to Grove is to pick someone up at the PATH, and I can easily take 1st to Grove to do it if Newark is closed. The traffic argument is complete bullshit. The merchant are just afraid of change, just like Yvonne.


Talk about Bullshit. it is all about you, isn't it.

People are so against change they don't want to try it out. I hate that this city seems to cater to the few who are always complaining, and apparently never at work.


This is how life works. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, God helps those that help themselves, etc.

The meetings are held at 6pm, while some may not be able to attend due to work, I'm sure the vast majority of complainers here could make the time to attend if this was so important to them.


Most of the complainers are Store owners who have the right to see how this will effect them , as well as thier customers. Can't make a statement without being attacked by the opposition, no matter what the subject is, or what side your on. The people who would like to see the Plaza extended don't seem to care either way. But, for those who showed up obviously do. Make the time if it is so important to you.

I know you just speak out of your rear on everything, but as a resident over 40 years I know Yvonne is right. If you know downtown, all you have to see is one block closed for 5 hrs, and the traffic gets real bad. With the number of people who will not be aware of this, that will create traffic jams and streets being clogged. I don't think you need a PDF or any study to see what will happen, it takes common sense and maybe 40 years of watching these things repeat itself.


Sorry Poncho. Steve shoots from the hip. But he's open-minded and knows what he doesn't know. You and Yvonne come across as narrow-minded, insular, obstructive people, that fail to recognize you have limitations, prejudices and are not infallible. Wake please to your own pride and limitations. Who knows? You might be wrong.


Open minded ?
And the dribble you just spurted out shows where your at. Just full of yourself, for yourself.

The good Doctor put his foot in his mouth when he pointed out another valid reason for change; high vehicular traffic all the time in a shopping strip that also has to accommodate high pedestrian traffic (highlighting that he has older and disabled clients mixed with that vehicular and pedestrian traffic).

You would think a pedestrian plaza would make it safer for them with a more open area and chairs to rest at !


I saw earlier where you said you own a business, is it in this area being contested. I thought that you would have a more courteous attitude towards their objections. Also both he & Seigel could not be better . more considerate, people.

Only problem with Newark and Grove is the out of towners who are not aware of the change, will create a traffic problem on other streets. Close any of the streets for an hour and the traffic backs up right away.

The authority that manages the field will know exactly who booked the field.



Premium Content is correct. You will never get paid. Although your thinking is well intended, try applying it.
No one will take responsibility. No one has ever taken responsibility at a ball field.

There are actually no signs posted. Funny that the one on sixth has those signs up, I bet the cop cars gets smashed at times. Now that has got to be a big issue right there. Imagine a cop not being able to immediately drive to an emergency cause of a damn baseball meeting a windshield.

I highly doubt that there are not any ball fields out there that have agreements with neighbors that they ll pay for damages incurred my friend. And I'm sure some people actually feel bad and just pay for it outright anyway. But yeah, thanks for your genius reply, so very helpful and insightful. I'm so dumb, so WTF do I know right? Gee. Yeah, maybe you should reread my original posting, Troll. Parking is slim to none, in fact it's even harder when a game is on to find any open spaces, what with all the lovely parents coming out to cheer their little tikes on. You say all that like I didn't know or something. And I bet you would really like to witness people fighting at a ball field over annoying affectations. Because hey, that's obviously not ignorant either! In fact I would like to watch vigilante hand you your teeth instead Poncho, but just so he can prove he's as tough as he acts. But not really....Because watching people fight is pretty stupid. But hey you should go sit on the bleachers and wait for your little showdown. Bring sunscreen and a video camera. Now go haunt someone else's posts with smarmy good for nothing remarks, dummy.


Only one dummy here, and we know who that is. The guy paying for the wind shield. Also Dummy, There are plenty of people with accents, and are they annoying ? Would have said, annoying Jamaican , Italian, Phillipino accent ?

There isn't a softball, or baseball field in America that will pay for your car windshield if its hit by a baseball. If you are dumb enough to park there, then you take your chances.

Vigilante, I know you talk tough about every thing, but I would like to witness your complaint about the annoying Hispanic accent at the game. You will get your racist ass handed to you.

Re: What Jersey City Restaurant Do You Miss the Most?

The Western Diner where my Dad took me for a reward with good marks. The Hamburgers, fries , milk shakes were about as close to heaven as I could be. The Western was located next to the Palace Theater , that was located in the driveway space next to the Palace Drugs store.

Jules Italian Restaurant on Franklin street, There was one on Westside Ave also off of Montgomery. They were a family.

Also the Real Casa Dante. When it was family owned, and one of the best restaurants period in the area.

CdeCoincy,
You hit it right on the head. I can't stand reading posts from people who couldn't run a free paper stand. I'll go the Ft Lee , or make it myself. They are so tight with a buck, but they will spend more money getting to a place that is in their opinion a little more authentic.
Isn't that what they said about the Taqueria ( Who is opening his third site) regardless what these non supportive people say. It is amazing the people who either can do it cheaper, at home ( no kidding) , others who are just cheap skates, and base their opinion on that basis,
Or, people who do everything on line, or at home, anything not to support a local business. I hope where they work, their company makes every effort to automate, and see how they like it when they are left out. Hey! maybe they will have to start their own business , and see what it costs, and have to read these posts about them.

No Offense Sutherland,
I am from Harrison and The Prep is St Peters. The Seton Hall prep never came into my mind. Also, the Prep of Hudson County is real good in sports, and so their
reputation follows them thru out the State as being staunch competitors . You may not think sports has anything to do with it, But, you have heard of St. Anthony's thru out the State and for what reason ?

Re: Color printing in downtown

What about shipping ? The person also said another store offered at .50 cents. And, at least you can see one produced copy, and continue, or not. Once you receive it from who ever you did it on line with, like it or not, you have to pay for it. I'm just saying that the shopping around for a 50 or 100 prints ain't worth the effort. Tell my 500, 1000,2000 that's different.

Re: Color printing in downtown

Smartpress.com is 38.00 per 100, plus shipping and two days turnaround. Where is the advantage to that ? Color printing is on average about .49 per hundred. 100 copies is really not a print job. And the paper makes a difference also. I know that Staples will charge you for the lesser paper every time. And, color should not be on a 20 lb paper.

Well jeepers, I'm sorry we don't douchebags running businesses around here (or using the local forums for that matter). I'd rather give my money to someone who isn't an a-hole.


How about the D' bag and A- hole customers, malcontents who are just jealous. These owners spend great amount's of money to succeed , and you can't afford to by a drink.

You hit the nail right on the head. If it ain't Free, Cheap, over the top c/s they don't want to pay for. I would love to see how good these people are at their jobs. You have one poster who if he can't make it, grow it, avoid doing business with a store, he isn't happy. Then you have the people who criticize how stores are run, yet they are incapable of doing it them selves.

Looks like the Frozen Yogurt store on the other corner may have backed out. The 7500.00 Rent, and to completely restore the basement, and store front might have been a bit much.

Those who can afford it, can, if you can't you stay home and have tacos, and beer. That will leave you out of most places that have rent, employees, and costs of running a business to take care of.

Tommy,
Having to wait on line for your food, and people being antsy about sitting down, that no longer exists. You go right to the table. Unless you mean paying a tip, or having to leave after getting your tab as being less relaxing.
