Who the hell eats 75 cent eggs?

What percentage of their stock is children's books?

This thread reinforces our decision to remain childless. I will continue treating you people who think raising children in this city is a good idea as some sort of unsophisticated alien race.

Thanks for posting that, it was very interesting. Did you know there used to be a drawbridge to Paulus Hook? You can sort of see it on the map, over Ditch Creek.

The house replaces an abandoned structure that was torn down last summer. The park footprint remains the same. Construction needs to be completed before the park renovation can begin.

Third and what?

It's your responsibility. Usually you hear complaints going the other way, meaning people cutting trees that hang over their property when the roots are in another yard. You'll have to hire somebody to cut them if you don't want to do it yourself. Both of my neighbors have awful mulberry trees that drop hundreds of berries into my yard that wind up staining everything as they rot away. This year I got a 20 foot ladder and hacked away every single branch that was hanging over my yard regardless of how it might affect the trees' health.

I'm sure they'll get right on that.

Here's my secret trick for dealing with it (hope too many people don't read this): Stay away from Newark Avenue.

It's been moved to Wednesday because of the weather.

There is a big discount for people on public assistance. Let me know if you need any info... We've been getting strays done on the cheap for a little while now.

Use 1-877-WARN-DEP instead. They'll route the call to the local health inspector's office.

What traps are you using? I've used the Terro brand traps several times. They've worked far better than any other I tried.

Yeah, that was Henry. He had a lot of great stories, if you took the time to listen.

RIP Henry. He was certainly entertaining to talk to, and put an impressive amount of work into keeping his block clean, putting the garbage out, sweeping up. He had been in the hospital for a few weeks but was out on the block again last week. He'll be missed.

No, we don't.

Do any of you idiots remember that the developer is being forced to supply the affordable units because HE ILLEGALLY TORE DOWN A BUILDING WHERE LOW INCOME PEOPLE WERE LIVING?

This neo-yuppie circle jerk is pathetic. It's become obvious to me that there's absolutely no correlation between income and intelligence.

Let him have five jobs. There's enough of him to go around... heyyyyyyy

I'm just going along with those that don't want affordable housing in their nice buildings. What, you're going after me for having the balls to say what all the other snobs are merely hinting at?

I agree. Why stop at the western edge of downtown? Journal Square has a PATH station. Stick them up there. We all know what "affordable" means, and it doesn't mean "artists".

Is there a database that provides the actual addresses of all of these abandoned properties?

If there's anything good to be said about this website, it's that it keeps at least some percentage of the JC crazies at home.

That's cute, one of the cops let his son wear the uniform to the ceremony.

Chief Comet announced that it is legal to walk (not ride) your bicycle over any car parked in the bike lanes, except for police cars. Those are usually parked in front of the hydrant anyway. I'm excited to see if anyone is going to try it out.

You're absolutely right. A gentleman in a top hat was telling me the other day that homeowners are on average 1000% smarter and cleaner than renters too. A guy I know who rents his place said the schools could burn down for all he cares, because they just make the local kids into smarter criminals. This is coming from a guy who killed his cats because they were cutting into his spare time, which he spends chopping down trees for sport and throwing his garbage into the planters at the local park.

I remember the day we closed on our place. The transformation was like night and day. Previously my mind had been completely fogged by the massive complexities of nuance and subtlety. No more! It's much easier to go on living day to day when things are a clear cut black and white.

I agree. I've found that the rich homeowners in Jersey City tend to be far more civilized, intelligent, neighborly, and highly non-judgmental compared to the filthy renters I've met in my time living here.

I'm sure the health department and ABC would love to hear about this. Meat is murder.

Took a sick (hangover) day today and thought I'd see if this place could do me any good. Got the peppermint rooibos for my stomach, which worked wonders for the gurgling. The cippolini onion bagel with clarified tahini and leek paste managed to stay down as well, and I didn't have to run home right away.

Just got the basil pine nut bagel with parmesan cream cheese and a large yerba matte. Excellent again. I still can't believe it's actually a corporate chain! Everything is so human about the place.

I went again today. Got the ginger bagel with citrus hoisin spread and a side of pickled veggies. It was amazing. I didn't think the bagel was dry at all.

I was positive this was going to be a soulless corporate experience (the URL is just the store number?), but Jesus, I was wrong. The Kona with rice milk was unbelievable. Best coffee I've ever had outside of Switzerland. The whole grain rosemary-thyme bagel with sundried tomota artichoke hummus was delicious. I might just go here every day, forever.
