Totally. Sad because I love all my Hamilton Park neighbors and Heights homies. But in my 15 years in JC, the traffic has always been shitr throughout Hudson County and has gotten way worse in Downtown specifically with the development that has progressed.
My wife is Queens born and raised and I've had to tell her to watch herself with shitty driving here in Jersey. Drivers in NYC are way more understanding of pedestrian traffic.

Not sure of the JC rules, but I was scammed this way in my previous city.
Guy had my car hitched up, made me pay $100 cash. I offered to pay by card, but he refused and waited while I RAN across the street to an ATM. He pocketed the money, dropped my car and took off. No receipt.
I later learned that the city ordinance defined a $50 max ‘drop fee’, and the company would have to honor it, cash or card, and provide a receipt. They implemented the ordinance because of predatory towing practices, but clearly companies were still skirting the rules.

Yes, the tow company is required to release a vehicle even if it's hooked or lifted, but not actually removed from private property, upon request of the vehicle’s owner

I know this isn’t what you’re asking for, but I find the Kennesaw or Natalie’s brands of orange juice to be nearly as good. Basically anything that is fresh squeezed cold pressed, not pasteurized.

Reply to Does the JC school system have a direct connection to 911? I hope that anyone calling 911 from within a school would not experience the recent 911 issues that seem to be chronic in this city. by Neat-Guarantee-4643
Oh yea, definitely. The buildings that still have lead pipes also definitely have a batphone to commissioner gordon's desk. 100%

Oliva on Grove Street is the right answer. They make amazing juices

Who ARE these people? A couple of times, it’s been a zoned out driver not checking both sides of the crosswalk, but 9 out of 10 times (happens frequently lol) it’s a literal psychopath like what you’re describing…

I doubt it. I feel like most instances of school shootings would have people calling from cell phones though, right? I’d sure as shit be hiding somewhere with my cell phone, not using a landline in a classroom.
There 100% needs to be a texting system nationwide. Having someone in a dangerous situation TALKING on a phone with the other person’s voice possibly coming through as well. And then the 911 operator calling back if disconnected?? What if the ringer isn’t on silent. Or it vibrates… That shit is not silent.

Staples has a large parking lot. Next time, I would chance getting a fine with on-street parking, except on the LeFrak owned streets.

The Departed Soles crew are devils fans, they also love community events. Might reach out to them and see if they would host watch parties for the playoffs. I think they do something similar for Red Bulls games.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know they were towing in that lot.

Sounds like they pocketed $150 in exchange for not towing your car. Sucks, but better than them towing it. You can report it to the tow company. It will be something they’ll sort out internally, but likely won’t care. Your money is his now.

You obviously haven’t lived here very long. JCPD does not enforce anything. This is the problem.
