Yes the beer selection was good but with everyone ordering draft beers, filling the beer orders was taking way too long, which meant long waits to get drinks.

To each their own. If they have high standards and want high rise living in Paulus Hook, then merry christmas to them. Just because it's not what you or I want doesn't mean that we should take pot shots at them. Also, if they're shopping at Whole Foods, I'm sure they would find the natural and organic offerings at ShopRite and A&P to be substandard at best. The ShopRite on Marin is the 5th Gate of Hell and I wouldn't be surprised if It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia filmed an episode here due to the 'eclectic' cast of characters to be seen at all hours of the day at that place.

Maybe the pics on JCI didn't do the place any justice or they took it at a time they were still decorating but this pic is better. I still think the tables and chairs are tacky and cheap though, oh well

2nd CSURugbyHooker's remark. Lots of recent college grads and young professionals living downtown now, lively bar/restaurant scene. It actually makes more sense for them to open in Philadelphia than in JC, since Philadelphia isn't competing with NYC.

There is a Stop Work order on the window as of today. Nice.

It's pretty clear that the original poster is overreacting here. Do you eat oysters, mussels, or clams? What about the "feces" (as you call it) present there?

The best shrimp I ever had were in Positano, Italy (probably caught that day), and they were fried whole--heads, shells, and all. Clearly not de-veined, but they were so good, I still think about them.

As others have said, the decision to devein shrimp is basically a matter of aesthetics. Not a health issue by any means. The little ones--such as those you find in shrimp salad are never deveined.

bands (including my own) play at lamp post and lucky's pretty regularly. i wish we had something like maxwell's though. and i cant believe we're this close to new york and there is barely any kind of music scene here.

I can't say why, but it does not feel the same. Maybe its scale. All those events feel like there is 10% of the downtown community participating. The same people. Something is missing. I can't quite define it. But those events lack something.

Like the arts and music fest in HBK for all its nonsense, creates a sense of community like people truly care. I have never seen that in a JC event. Its like its the same 5 people, banging their heads against a wall.

Maybe Fulop as mayor would change things. But our citizenry lacks passion to really drive things forward.

i had a lovely run in with the JCPD tonight - they double parked blocking my car in for over 20 min while they were doing something on 4th street....
the fact that no lights were on the cruiser and I know that another cop lives in the building they were inside (plus the fact that they finally came out and got in their car without saying anything) makes me think that it wasn't official business bc I am sure I would have gotten some lecture/ ticket bc I sat on my horn for 20 min trying to get someone to come move it

they blocked the street for at least the 20 min I was out there (7 - 7:20 pm) and were causing the traffic coming down 4th to back up the length of the block which is VERY dangerous

thank you for perpetuating the stereotype that all cops are lazy losers that slack off on the job and are wasting tax payers money by the handful

plate # HG75115 (car 2990)
I have a few pictures of it... but I am assuming it won't make a difference to report it bc it will all of a sudden become "official business"
