This ^ I've lived downtown without a permit for over 12 years and have never received a ticket. Ok I lie, I got a permit in 2010 when I got a new car but never renewed it. Just recently bought another car over the summer and never got a permit. Only ticket I've ever received was for parking on wrong side of the street for cleaning.

Where did you get that information, because I beg to differ - more litter, more loud pedestrians late into the night.



I got my information from living there. Where did you get yours chicken little?

So you would be O.K. if a business, for which your neighborhood is not zoned, opened up next door to your home and significantly impacted your property value? Let's say it's a pawn shop, just for the sake of argument. I won't even get into the noise issue.


I think you are confusing perception with reality

I'm trying hard not to get too drawn into this but it seems like some of the commenters don't understand the concept of zoning. Areas that are zoned as "residential" prohibit businesses from opening up there. This helps protect the character of a neighborhood and protects property values. Without zoning, a car repair shop could open next to my brownstone and leave broken down cars all over the place.

The "time to move to the burbs" comments don't help either. I've lived in JC for 15 years. I'm not a renter. I own a home here, vote, pay taxes and as a participant in a democracy think that my voice counts. I am thrilled that JC has changed so much for the better since I moved here. I love all the new restaurants. It's amazing. I'm not opposed to change. But they SHOULD NOT INFRINGE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S RIGHTS! Current zoning should be enforced and I sympathize with those whose lives would be impacted should this variance be accepted.


no we get it, we want it to change because it doesn't effect the neighborhood except in a positive way. Did you fight against the change in law when Newark ave bars and restaurants had to close by 11? There are 2 restaurants further up the street on Erie that aren't disturbing the peace and they are open later. What's yawn inducing is the fact that people think that if Prato or another cafe is allowed to "gasp" have indoor seating or use their backyard that they will all of a sudden become a night club. It's the same logic that anti gay marriage folks have when they say "oh what next? can I marry my dog?" it's illogical. I've lived here longer than you, also own my place pay taxes, blah blah blah all the irrelevant stuff you throw out there to make it seem like your point is more valid. It's sad that you live by Prato cause that means you're my neighbor.
It sounds like you don't get the concept of a city or belong in one.

I was at the private event on Wed night. Really nice place inside. It was open bar and kitchen. They had a ton of bartenders working and encouraged everyone to try all the drinks so they could practice. There were servers walking around with tasting plates of all the food. Drink menu is extensive and cocktails are $11 and a few $12. Beers were around $6 on average. Didn't see a food menu but what they were serving was all southern comfort stuff and tasty.

Not an impossibility, just absurdly expensive to make it high enough to clear the tallest masts. And if did, no doubt many would complain it was an eyesore blocking their views.

If the property owners of Paulus Hook really feel strongly about access, they could easily cooperate on creating a small ferry service.


ok, I should have said not feasible. My small (compared to a lot of the boats in the marina) 33 foot sail boat would need a clearance of at least 40 feet. A sail boat double that size? You are talking 80 to 100 feet of clearance. The foot bridge is where it is for a reason.

My building had multiple packages stolen over this week. A cop stopped by yesterday because they had caught the guy and returned some of the stolen stuff that was still in the boxes. I didn't speak directly to the officer but if you want to follow up if you were affected then contact the 7th St. precinct

I had a package stolen and I agree with "WhoElseCouldIBe." Mailing poop or setting a poop bait is the dumbest idea and provides no solution. I have packages sent to my office now. Luckily the package that was stolen was replaced free by the company.

maybe I've just had bad luck at the places on Newark but I've given them many chances.
It's really those places that I'm not happy with. I have no problems with A&P's produce. I do think their fish and meat department is lacking though, but that's me. I don't think downtown is ready for a Whole Foods or TJ though. It is hard enough for nice restaurants to stay open.

If you are comparing A&P to Whole Foods then you have never been to one or the other.
While A&P is a decent and clean super market it is in no way even in the same ballpark as Whole Foods. Someone said A&P's meat and fish sections are good??? Are you kidding me!
Anyway, downtown does need a good supermarket within walking distance. Leave C-town for those that think it is good enough and put in a Whole Foods! On Newark ave. in one of those 99cent spaces would be nice. OR , how about the old hardware store on Jersey btw. Columbus and Newark. That space is huge.
As for all those little produce marts along Newark... you're lucky if the food isn't spoiled by the time you walk it home.

The holiday lights on the gazebo should be turned off, but the others should stay on. I think the idea is to prevent the park from becoming a giant canvas for graffiti artists. A dark, sealed park is asking for trouble.


It is sad to see the park all fenced up. Even more sad to see it fenced up and no work going on. When will they start the construction??

hate to break it to you but I'm pretty sure the reason the dog parks are going in is cause the grass will be off limits to dogs. Usually that is the way it works and hopefully that is what will happen. Then we (humans) will actually get to enjoy it and not have to look out for land mines all the time.


Good Luck with that.


I didn't say I was going to try to enforce that. I'm just hoping it happens. They have classes to train your dogs if you don't know how to do it yourself. Then they can enjoy the dog parks with the rest of the dogs.
