Wouldn't work out. You can't even get the Downtown folks to walk up Newark Ave. past Dickinson H.S. to Moloney's Butcher even when they want a butcher.


The whole idea of living in DTJC is that we live car free and that everything we need is within walking distance to a train or people's residence.

Opening a TJs in Bayonne and not in JC is just bad business. More people work and live in JC than Bayonne. There are a lot of people that park and ride the train into the city in JC. Which makes JC a better option that Bayonne.

I'm not saying that Bayonne should not get a TJs. All I am saying is that, JC is a better investment at the moment. Plus, there are a lot of retail options with plenty of parking that are close to the Grove or Newport trains that would be an ideal location for a TJs.

I guess I was naive and a little too optimistic. With the crappy Shop Rite and Pathmark we don't have a decent grocer. A&P is a better option yet but doesn't work for people without a car.

Let's hope that we get some sort of decent organic/health food store soon. Seems like the area is going to need it with all the development going on.

Not upscale enough for TJ's. Look at the towns where TJ's sites stores in NJ-Millburn, Westfield, Florham Park, Princeton, Edgewater. In areas that are not as upscale they are along very heavily trafficked, such as Clifton on RT3.

440 in JC/Bayonne, not so much.

Wow, seeing "pious" & "sacrifice" in the same sentence made me flash on the sections of the Bible about gory old school Hebrew Temple practices, like who gets the yummy fat around the kidneys of a sacrificial sheep. That was when the pious got down and dirty!

I think it is ethical to eat animals, especially if there is a slight chance that you might get eaten as well. I swim and take long walks in the woods, so I am fair game, even if a bit unsavory.

Since Asif already made a in this thread comment about eating kosher, then this post of yours that followed is pretty much belittling his religious inclinations, not "throwing sarcasm around."

Unless you abstain from dairy products altogether, the source of cheese-making enzymes should only be important if you care more about precious arbitrary values than the lives of animals. It?s a wildly disproportionate concern. In this case, the unpleasant reality of milk production is the five-hundred pound gorilla in the room, not a milliliter of rennet.

Oh good heavens. Of course I realize that people do care about the issue, but when individuals take special care to avoid animal-sourced rennet for what are often ethical and/or religious reasons, but still gotta have cheese, that?s silly human behavior I won?t apologize for noticing. You get over it.

If I may speak for this "Frank" character, it appears that in an effort to mock rennet-phobia, he had to acknowledge that the scope of the issue includes crucial unsavory realities left unmentioned by the rennet-phobic.

I'm just amazed that we now have a film festival, if only for the moment, and named for that other city:

Take that, Rochester!

Neither, as far as I?m concerned. My criticism is strictly over a policy that is framed by irrational belief and incomplete views. Otherwise, I am entirely open to criticism for my own selfish consumption of animal flesh and animal products.

Frank- you can roll your eyes until they become crossed for all I care. I owe you no explanation. I am obliged to you no satisfaction. You may blindly assume, quiet stupidly, my rational for being selective concerning my personal food choices. I find this wrong. Had you just asked in a non-assuming manner, I would have explained gladly. Instead you came across as a PR*Ck.

Let me make this clear, you do not know me. People in general are not static beings. We are fluid in our identities according to the influences of a host of variables. These can include time, place, people, culture, belief, logic, and technology.

My reasoning for my CHOICE is nuanced....and does not fit into your convenient, made up assumption of me. Someone you just don't know on any meaningful, personal level.

For the rest of us unassuming folks. I went to the local supermarket. And the Stouffers Mac and Cheese did not label the type of enzyme contained in it. If i am tempted to consume massive, amounts of junk, comfort food....it's Kraft for the win.


It?s unimportant whether you share your ?nuanced? approach, because as a human being, you?re a minority player in this story. The animal-product equation is dominated by a staggering number of non-human animals who are powerless to resist us. They are slaves whose lives have no room or use for human nuance. Now, when you publically express a concern for the origin of a particular group of enzymes, but not the origin of milk, you express concern in a way that means absolutely nothing beyond a service to arbitrary human values: ?I don?t want the lives of cattle to be any different, I just want to feel better about exploiting them.? Call me names if you wish, but when you appear to express an amusingly unenlightened position on animal products, I don?t owe you politically correct silence. As if.
