Part of the festival is the neighborhood stoop sale. Here's a Google Map with all the participating houses. Lots of good deals, I'm sure.
The sale runs from 10AM to 4PM tomorrow, June 8th.

It was anything but a dumb idea. It helped locally owned businesses get a foothold, especially restaurants, and helped a now-flourishing downtown create its own identity. I know people on this board hated it from the start -- and just wanted a Chipotle of their own -- but having the same fast food franchises as every other city in America is not a great thing.

It distresses me that Mayor Fulop hasn't shared his thoughts about this plan. He's tweeted his opposition to the marina expansion many times, but (at far as I know) hasn't said a thing about the millionaire golfers vs. birds controversy. I hope he's going to fight it, but I'm getting worried. Does anyone know how he feels?

Whenever the rescheduled hearing is held, I hope someone brings large photos of the northern end of the park. Even a casual stroll through LSP shows that the only dilapidated, rundown, unattractive area in the whole park is the marina that Suntex already operates. Why anyone would even consider letting that company spoil more of our parkland is a mystery to me.

Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to pull the lever for Fulop again.
I'm a JC long-timer at this point, and have seen firsthand the transformation created by Fulop in two terms as my councilman and one as our mayor. It's nothing short of amazing, the change he brought first to the downtown and now to the full city. He's friendly, smart, motivated, and tireless. If more candidates were like him, more people would believe in politics.

It's all clear of snow.
You'll need to go around the Hoboken train station, since the path right through the middle has been blocked since the train accident, but it's only a few more steps.

Hero69, I like about this place, too. I don't get all the posts whining about prices and low-cost ham. ShopRite is a few blocks away. Go there for basics. Sprout is aiming to provide a boutique food experience with brands you don't find everywhere. It's not perfect, but it's a good store, it's good for the neighborhood, and I think it will get better over time.

I tried it this weekend. It's easy and simple. The selection is limited, of course, but it's not bad. The Hoopla app offers lots of movies, TV shows, audiobooks, e-books, comics, and albums, while the Zinio app offers a decent amount of current magazines. Getting set up and checking out materials takes minutes. I like that you can download videos for offline viewing. Netflix doesn't offer that.
The reading experience is better on a tablet, but both work on phones, as well.

You should go more often. On weekends when the weather is nice, there are far more people than that in the park. Check the playground and the picnic areas. Check the kite-flying fields and the 9/11 memorial. You'll count more than 200 in no time.

I can't believe what I'm reading here. Do that many people really want chain stores?
When I moved to NYC in the early 90s, it was full of independent shops. Now, every block has a bank and a massive drug store. As JC gentrifies, Fulop wants it to keep its own special feel. Fulop's proposal is good for downtown and pro-small business.

Jersey City used to compare itself to Hoboken. Now, it compares itself to Brooklyn. You're right, OP, the moniker "sixth borough" is awful for all the reasons you gave.
It's not as bad as "Chilltown," but it's bad.

I can't tell you how much this logic annoys me. Using your iPhone on the street in JC at 12:35AM isn't analogous to an attempted rape. It's analogous to leaving your door wide open when you leave your house. Take sensible precautions to protect your property. In JC, that means not using a phone outside after dark. Doing so attracts thieves and makes the user less perceptive to what's going on around him or her.

Having run both areas lately, I have to differ. LSP has not been plowed well, so limited trails are open. The only time this winter the pedestrian bridge was shoveled was before the Super Bowl kick-off concert. Worse, there are huge puddles everywhere. Practically ponds. LSP has terrible drainage, and the trails aren't banked correctly so they puddle-up easily. Your shoes will be soaked.
The waterfront is the only part of town I've seen that's shoveled well. Running there right now is clear and easy.
