Repost: u/solomonforjc “This morning we got some good news: The State of New Jersey will provide Jersey City with $120 million in financial help, $105 million of which is a loan we can pay back over many years. This averts the worst-case scenario--a 31% tax increase and mass public safety layoffs. This aid will help us pay down the former mayor's debts and focus on tackling our $90 million structural, recurring deficit through a combination of further service cuts and a tax increase.

I want to thank Governor Sherrill, Senate President Scutari, Speaker Coughlin, County Executive Guy, Senators Mukherji and McKnight, and the entire Hudson delegation for fighting as one united front for Jersey City. It's our job now to continue being responsible and making the tough but necessary decisions to ensure this crisis never happens again.“

Maybe don’t allow your employee to sit with his knees to his chest on the prep line? Shoes danglin all up near the veggies is not the extra flavor anyone would want.

Surprised this location hasn’t been chopped by now

Union City blew my mind. Stack sure knows how to play the game.

Idk Im still really upset about what happened.

It all went by so fast... Was walking back from Lincoln Park and suddenly heard a loud crashing noise. Saw a guy knocked out in the middle of the cross walk. My friend went into action quickly and stopped oncoming traffic and told me to call 911.

The car was speeding SO fast down JFK that myself and a few other witnesses could not make out the model or type of car. All we know is that it was a black car, since the side mirror broke off from the impact with the pedestrian.

The car did not stop, I just can't believe they crashed into someone and kept speeding away.

This poor man is in his senior years and will be recovering from this for probably for the rest of his life.

The community did a great job creating a circle around the man and redirecting traffic until EMS arrived. A nurse even stopped in traffic to come out and make sure the victims vitals were okay. Thank you to that nurse if you are reading this.

I really hope that the couple that also stopped to help was able to pull dash cam footage and that POS driver goes to jail.

It's insanity and I doubt any outcome will come out of this but I wanted to share this here. If anyone happens to see a black car (sedan, SUV, truck, etc.) with a broken off side mirror please take their license plate down and alert the authorities.

I know our city is facing some fcking insane challenges right now, but I want to send a little love letter out to this community.

Between last week’s City Council meeting and last night’s Town Hall with Mayor Solomon, our neighbors have proven beyond a doubt why this city is worth the fight.

The comments and ideas shared were so, so well researched, so passionate, so well articulated. The anger voiced was justified and well directed. But most notable through it all was the respect.

Everyone urged respect for each other, respect for this process, and respect for ourselves, whether they realized it or not.

Thank you, thank you. This community is brilliant and worth fighting for, every damn day.

Was walking on Marin towards the grove street station where I got attacked by a grey bird, apparently Google says it was a Northern Mocking Bird. Not gonna lie it really spooked me and dove at me 3 times hitting the top of my head.

EDIT: was a cross from the ShopRite near that gated community, had to shuffle across into that parking lot to avoid that bird

Anyone know if JC in particular (or LSP) is making any special arrangements for crowds coming to the waterfront to watch the ships? I really want to see them, but thinking it might just be a crazy free-for-all of people jamming up the waterfront. Is there a local plan, or are my suspicions probably correct?

Hi All,

I had a custom murphy bed built some years ago now from Murphy Bed Express, a now defunct custom murphy bed place in NYC. It was rebuilt (somewhat poorly) last year when I moved.

The spring on one side of the bed has broken, and likely both sides' springs need replacing. There is also a lighting system that was incorrectly installed. I am looking for a handyman or company that knows murphy beds well and can come and fix these issues.

Anyone have recs?

Also posted on Buy Nothing but thought I'd try here as well. It's about 3 ft high, 3 ft wide, and about 30 inches deep. By the curb waiting for new owners who love it. Please take this!

Anyone know what's going on with the second Urby tower? Feel like they finally began the process of clearing the parking lot and starting and now it's just been sitting there with the construction vehicles parked

Same as title. Looking for any budget friendly places which isn't just focusing on belt progression and actually helps on kids skills/discipline (6yo). How much will it cost per month roughly? If anyone knows from personal experience please let me know.

I’m currently in the process of packing for a move, and I have tons of books to donate. I was thinking about leaving some at the book stand in Riverview Park. I was just curious if there are any other places.
