I would assume there will be significant quality of life impacts as construction of the neighboring bayfront neighborhood gets underway. There's only two ways in and out of that neighborhood, and one of them is going to be a mess for years, I bet. On the other hand, allegedly, Bayfront will get a light rail stop, so that could solve the connectivity issue if you are thinking very long term.

Sticking with Lincoln Park, there are a number of little lakeside benches, sculptures, bridges and band shells that could be nice for backdrops. Take a lap and you'll find a number of good spots!

Reply to Disposal of Construction Debris by Hot-toddy1234
For small jobs, your best bet is to bundle it up as small as you can and make it easy for the collectors to put in the truck. In my experience, they won't bat an eye.

Everyone complaining about this intersection and how to get to all the businesses near it, and this user just lays out the answer they discovered in the 70s.

Reply to comment by JerseyGiantsFan in Pro-fascism Bolsonaro truck has been driving through Union County (and probably other areas in/around NJ & NYC) for 5+ months, blaring music. by JerseyGiantsFan
Yup, seen him in Kearny Point. I was on foot when he drove by me and I couldn't understand where the music was coming from. He also has a video screen mounted between the truck and trailer. Total nut.

Reply to Best areas to live if need to be central to Jersey City, Hoboken, and Bayonne by dreamcicle11
I guess I wouldn't totally rule out Bayonne if you really love having access to a car. He'll hate dealing with parking unless you budget for paid. But maybe you can afford to live in the Enclave just down the hill from Carepoint? He can probably get by with just a CitiBike membership and can light rail to Bayonne as needed.

Thanks! Agree, I almost always have it to myself or there's a solitary fisherman.

I mean, if you discover a track condition, not much you can do but suspend service.

Yup, Cellar 335 unless your +1 has some kind of problem with the Tiki vibe. You could also consider Frankie's which I didn't see anyone else mention. That would be my second choice I think.

You can do all that PLUS Bob White Counter in under an hour? Surely only if you've called ahead...

I read this as an endorsement of the light rail for quick trips! Bravo! Can you share an example or two of a trip you took that you did within an hour round trip?

I can't attest to it's quality (yet), but I walked into African Grill on Monticello to grab a menu the other day and was pleased to see they've got it. Guy was real nice too.

We've got a few along West Side Ave. There are a couple of sort of squat arrangements that allow them to retreat from the streets in ways that are less available in NYC, I think.

Reply to Why is there not a footbridge here? by SirTitsMcGee
What do we owe these yachtsmen? Are they paying us enough money for this premium waterfront that we should forgo a common sense upgrade like this footbridge?

Reply to Is waterfront walkway safe? by [deleted]
Yes, totally safe. Keep your eyes peeled for wild parrots in Edgewater! And stop by Kuppi for coffee and the nice river view. If you want more, you can drop down under the bridge and walk up Henry Hudson Drive which is gorgeous.

Does St. Peters have community memberships? I inquired during the pandemic and they weren't doing them. Same with NJCU which recently confirmed no community access. Pershing is great though!

This place is cool? I've been past it a few times but haven't stopped in. Now I'm curious.

Do you definitely need to keep your car? Take it with a grain of salt, but Jersey City just edged out Philly in a recent study of cities where it is easiest to live car free. Just search this sub for parking and Heights and you'll find anguished car owners frittering away hours of their lives looking for parking, dealing with permits, raging over tickets, and furious with their neighbors' parking behavior. If you can opt out, do it!

Reply to comment by Scoochiez in Lawsuit: Flo Rida’s 6-year-old son in ICU, suffered serious injuries after falling from Jersey City apartment window by bottomless-mimosa
Was curious about this too for no good reason. Read a few articles and it sounds like Flo Rida may never have met the kid and is not involved in his life. Articles are a bit unclear, but it sounds like he is a special needs kid.
