The logo was painted over a few days ago. The awning and windows were all black. No more "Jersey Greenz"

I am a big fan of food on sticks (I lived in Minnesota for a couple years and the MN State Fair has an abundance of fantastic food on sticks). I tried a K-Dog last year at the stall at Union Square Holiday Market and came away underwhelmed. Too doughy and whichever one I had just didn't come together at all.

I'll give this one a shot, though. Hope it lives up to the "sensation".

Pretty sure that unless you have a tow company on retainer they will not tow upon request if the vehicle is not ticketed.

My understanding is tow companies don't come out unless the vehicle is ticketed.

I hope it works out for the current residents here. Apparently, it wasn't the case for Cabrini-Greens in Chicago when they went mixed income.

"And of the thousands of families who were promised they could return, more than 80% never did — some were disqualified, relocated or simply overwhelmed with bureaucracy. Many died waiting. Even today, 85 families who used to live in Cabrini-Green are still on decades-old waiting lists to move back. "

Teppan had a good run. 12-13 years in that location. Better than a lot of other restaurants in the area.

>I heard that this business was past from one family member to the other and they aren’t really that interested or need need this establishment.

Can you elaborate on this? I thought Scram used to be a food truck in Charleston, SC and the owner, who always wanted a storefront, found it cheaper to open up a brick and mortar location in JC than Charleston. (As difficult as that may be to believe.) Then the pandemic hit shortly after they opened.

For years I have always tried Restaurant Week and for years I have been disappointed. By both price and quality. I’ll skip this year.

They definitely fenced a reseeded two areas a few years ago. The middle section on west side and the southeast section. About 3 months each. Didn’t make any difference.

They fenced and reseeded for, I think, 3 months. Not nearly enough time to refresh a lawn. Also, within the 3 months the fence was constantly broken and kids had playing or people picnicking on a nice day. It was destined for failure.

My fixed rate mortgage also went up by more than $600 for this year. Part of it is new property taxes and the other part is to make up the escrow that was used to pay for taxes last year especially the retroactive taxes for the first two quarters. I expect the mortgage to go down next year (but still be above 2021) as the escrow will be replenished and the mortgage only reflects current taxes.

This whole building is a monstrosity but the front stoop is the absolute worst.

Years ago I lost a hat on the PATH and went to the Lost and Found in Journal Square. I didn't find my hat but I was very surprised about the amount of things they had there. The Lost and Found is a great suggestion of where to look.

I've walked by the Grapevine and was intrigued but never stepped inside.

I wouldn't have guessed it was the oldest bar in JC - needed google to remind me of its existence.

Good point about downtown. I guess back in the day Journal Square was the happening hub of JC.

Quick internet search shows it may be Grapevine Tavern.

I don't disagree with the resume padding aspect but in this case the museum may actually be an improvement. I don't particularly like the initial cost for the building and then the annual payments. But it will be nice to have a world class museum within walking distance.

I drop off at the compost location at Hamilton Park 9th and Jersey and this time of year it can become overloaded with pumpkins. Too many pumpkins and other people can’t drop properly in the bins and the compost boxes become disgusting.

Hamilton Park has a second compost location at 9th and Jersey

If you have a permit the 2-hour limit doesn’t apply.

I walk down Erie every morning to the PATH and while 7th Street is the worst for crossing, every side street is it’s own adventure. It really is ridiculous.

After years of complaints about Erie and 7th the City made it an all stop intersection. This has made it worse for pedestrians as cars on 7th now expect the cars on Erie to stop and they just roll through. When there was no stop sign on Erie at least they had to stop to prevent getting T-boned.

I honestly have no idea what residents can do about this.

I’d vote for Lavarro. I met him years ago and he seemed genuine. He seems to stand apart from the Machine and wasn’t afraid to go against Fulop.

One thing I have noticed at that intersection is that when there are vehicles at both stop signs, the vehicle directly behind the one at the stop sign, usually on 6th Street, sometimes tries to jump through without letting the other vehicles on Coles through first.

Thats a crazy sentence with strange capitalization.

From the article:

"In Jersey City alone, there is only one other Authentic French restaurant. "

What and where is this other authentic Frech restaurant?

EDIT: I guess they are talking about Bistro La Source?
