The Farm at Green Village is a drive but prices are decent and you could make a day of it just enjoying their outdoor area full of flowers, plants etc. Theres also a local store PLNTD on Erie street, if you want to support a local biz.

How awful and frustrating!! They shipped ours with a local company, but the main issue was that the guys who came to measure, those measurements were input incorrectly by the Home depot guy causing 3 separate shipments of re-orders. There was even one time I literally went through each measurement (off the install guys sheet) with the HD manager on the phone and still caught mistakes on their end as she repeated back wrong measurements that were in their computer. Then the installation guys had to come out for the measure, the install which they couldn't complete, and then the final install. The first install was terrible too where they guy installed incorrectly and other stuff I've blocked out of mind!! It took ONE YEAR for the whole thing to be done correctly. Corporate talked the talk but never actually did anything.

You can message me if you want some choices. I’ve had the same 3-4 lawyers recommended to me through various agents in this city.

I was just curious, didn’t mean anything by asking which. Gotcha, that’s interesting. They overvalued places during the reval and I haven’t known anyone who won an appeal.

Have not gotten anything like that. Curious are you an llc or individual that rents out?

I paid around 1600 six years ago. I remember the quotes I got were all within range of each other. Probably call around and get the rates then decide, as I'm sure my experience is a bit outdated.

I had a terrible experience with blinds and Home Depot, please don't use them. Just call around and visit some of the blinds stores, they'll be able to give you estimates and you're not obligated to go through with them.

Reply to comment by voyboy_crying in The "save money on your energy bill" scam artists are back; now they're pretending to be from the city instead of PSEG by mikevago
In addition to what was said below- they are dishonest from the start. Instead of introducing themselves as an Arcadia employee and that they’re selling solar energy, they start off by asking to see your PSEG bill with this laminated paper that says PSEG on it- so they try to come off as if they are PSEG. And then they give you a completely made up a reason for wanting to see your actual bill. Their approach is dishonest and makes zero mention of who they are and what they sell. It should be illegal for them to switch a customer’s energy source provider without permission. The only way PSEG combats it is by sending you a notice that the energy was switched and you can switch it back.

I know people whose rents went up 500/mo for their 1 bedrooms. If yours is a 2bedroom or more, it seems like thats on par with what happened to my friend who also lives in an amenity building.

We don't have to agree! They must be successful with their condensed hours, maybe they do things outside of it too.

Look, I have nothing against Scram. I like the food and I go there when its open. It's their business. Go ahead and open something up yourself if you feel that you could be making so much money.

Thats precisely what I remember too, they were a food truck from the south and wanted a storefront. Prior to them coming to JC, the space was a bakery (I think called Enna? Can't remember), and prior to that it was Prato. To say they don't "Need" the establishment is a pretty bold assumption on the people who are working hard to run a small business in this city.

I don't think they own the building. I recall they were a breakfast truck from North or south carolina (bit foggy on the details) and they did a big move to come here. Prior to them, it was that french bakery and before that it was the original Prato.

They had a pretty rough start. They were set to open the week that the covid shutdowns happened. I noticed the owners are always there making the food, and making the coffees etc. More recently I noticed they hired more staff. It might be a staffing issue or maybe that's what works for them for work-life balance. Its definitely not fast food, you can see them soft scrambling everything to order, and I understand that can be frustrating. But it is what it is!

I like the bacon egg sandwich, they make everything even the buns from scratch, you can tell they take great care in making everything from scratch. I think while we may see them open 8-12, they likely start their day at 4am. During holidays they make pies you can preorder and they are incredible.
