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.

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.

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.
