>Newark officials apparently thought they were getting involved in a cultural and trade deal with one of India’s emerging independent Hindu nations

lmao this screams fake. an independent religious state inside an existing country? How dumb you have to be to fall for this?

At least in the case of ABP, Panera sold the brand to Ampex along with ~500 leases, and of the remaining ABP locations, converted some into Panera concepts and closed down the rest.

To your broader point though, IMO a lot of retail is being right-sized or going through a correction of sorts. Many store concepts are ill-suited for their particular location or companies have too many locations. Latham, specifically, is in a weird location.

This the case where the teen punched a cop in the face and then the cop subdued him without using excessive force? Yah, this dad and his teen can eat shit.

A job and a jab, the new Lucky's special?

There is a Discord server that has neighborhood 'channels', the Heights channel is pretty active. People coordinate planned meetups and also 'short notice' walks, activities, lunches, etc. The larger server also has a book club, a brewing club, a walking/hiking and climbing group, etc etc. Sports are less active but I've seen general interest in pickup basketball, tennis, etc. so someone just has to make it happen.

I guess it's kind of annoying to have to join yet another social platform but once you accept the basic rules and understand how to navigate the platform, it becomes fairly easy to coordinate and join activities.

Completely baseless claims. We can genuinely seek transparency on the matter without being stupid about it. Be better.

JC Heights, around Washington Park or Riverview Park. It's chill, it's fun, it's homey.

No notable safety/crime issues, families walking around through the evening. Very diverse. It's a city so stay alert but no major cause for anxiety/concern. It's getting more expensive but nothing (yet) like Downtown or new JSQ buildings.

Cash flow is the basis for determining the value of an income generating property (the income approach). Sales approach isn't as good a method when you have the income information, cost approach isn't nearly as useful in this context.

Can vary block-by-block but I live close to Riverview and I found parking so completely frustrating to the point where I gave my car to my parents (who live in the burbs). So many curb cuts and the 4x/week street cleaning made it such a pain. I now walk / take the bus for everything and it’s fine.

A major challenge with the new AirTrain project (which is in progress) is that the Port Authority doesn't own much of the land where the new train will be. It's owned by various private entities who all have incentive to not play nice/reasonable in the purchase and land of the needed land.

From another nj.com article:

>IXP Corporation, based in Princeton, handled the city’s previous reviews of dispatch services in 2018. The company’s senior vice president is Adam Safir, son of Howard Safir, a former New York Police Department commissioner who led the search to hire Jersey City Public Safety Director James Shea in 2013.

>...IXP corporation, which also runs a private 911 dispatch service, will push for the service to be privatized... "The problem is if we are hiring these guys to do the study, they are not an independent consultants that can give us options. They have a financial incentive to recommend to us to privatize the service,” [Solomon said].

The city's 911 system is totally broken, but putting all our eggs in the IXP isn't prudent.

You can find a 2bd/1ba <$3,500 easily in JC Heights. Would suggest living near the 9th St light rail or near Riverview Park. It's also possible in Downtown but in an older (but nice) building. All the new construction in DT, JSQ, and the waterfront in JC is fairly expensive. Hoboken is all around expensive. The Heights isn't as well-connected as Downtown but it's got it's own vibe and plenty to do, and you can always take the light rail around Hoboken/JC/Weehawken or transfer to the PATH to go into Downtown/Midtown Manhattan.

In terms of safety, JC Heights is very family oriented. Obvs keep your wits about you, don't be careless in any city. But I've had no issues and often see young families walking at 8pm/9pm and people walking their dogs until 10pm. I've had no issue on the light rail and walking from 9th St to Riverview.

Lol. You’re supposed to check your car, it’s your responsibility. The person who posted the signs in a timely manner is following the regs, so should you.

Good on the weekdays. Actually arrives up to two minutes early (vs the schedule you see on the NJT app). <10 min headways during rush. 8.5/10 solid option for commuting. Weekend service can be absolute ass, 3/10. Buy just one ticket and activate it only if they’re checking, they don’t check 95% of the time. I used to feel guilty about fare evasion but now believe that the light rail should be free to riders and paid for through municipal payments to NJT.

I just assumed B&S owned their space but who knows. Tho the bombolone are almost $5 a piece so their margins may be quite high.

Dulce's hours are also the best of any bakery/cafe in town (afaik). Really enjoy grabbing a treat and reading a book there for 20-30 minutes after work.

This is the answer. Cheap as heck to (relative to DT prices).

"What's going on in my neighborhood that's probably none of my business? Also I won't tell you which neighborhood. Guess."

This is one the most helpless, useless, inept posts I've seen in this sub.

Home Depot gift card is solid idea.

PATH will follow the schedule you see on the PATH app or CityMapper app, if you plan for it then there's really no problem. The questions are a) how far / how many transfers to your fav haunts from the PATH stations in NYC and b) how far from PATH would you be living in JC? If you're relying on the Light Rail to get home once you get back into JC, that's a crapshoot late nights and weekends. If you're within 10-15 minutes walking from a PATH station then you're in good shape.

And probably sooner rather than later you'll find a bunch of places that in JC you really enjoy and spend less time in Manhattan than you will when you first move here.

Go to Rumba Cafe, Irma's Cafe, El Gordo, Unica Cafe, Angel Azul, and Dulce de Leche. Also, shout out to Freetown Road as a Caribbean option in JSQ.

lmao.
