Reply to Where to buy freshly squeezed in store orange juice (large bottle) around here? by Cultural-Yak4118
My 2 cents after living in jc more than a decade. The juice you get at Wonder bagel ( Bergen Ave) are from the oranges that are near end of their life. Mostly sourced from the vegetables stores adjacent to the store. Also sometimes when the juicer machine is not gentle on them , it catches part of the peel and juice becomes slightly bitter.
My suggestion is to get a manual juicer from dollar store ( under 5$), cut oranges in half and make your own juice. It hardly takes 5-10 mins and you get half the price. Experiment with different kinds or oranges such as Florida Juice oranges ( they are hard to peel but perfect for juice).

Also those laws are absolutely applicable to tow companies that tow off of private property. That’s the whole point of them. “The amended Act regulates tows from private property, and tows initiated by law enforcement, without the prior consent of the vehicle’s owner or operator.”
If this is something that has been going on for many years, then I will take your word for it, I almost never go to ShopRite or Target so I would not know. The recent uptick of posts like this on the Reddit made me think this is a recent and new issue. However, it doesn’t mean the tows aren’t illegal.

Why would you assume that? Something like tow signs are often overlooked.

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
This is terrifying. The people of Nashville got someone on the phone and quick action saved lives. I don't think that would happen here.

I'm not going to bat for the tow company. But to think that the multi million dollar developer who owns this parking lot has a mistake in their tow signage is laughable. They have been having cars towed out of this parking lot for decades. I was towed out of it in 2008 or 2009. You clearly are not familiar with this area or this parking lot at all. As I said before, anyone who has lived in Jersey City more than a week knows that if you park illegally in this parking lot, you will get towed immediately.
I already said if it's not their tow company and it was a random tow company cruising then OP has a case. But it's more likely the multi million dollar developer who owns the lot has a tow company on standby 24/7 watching cameras.

Which is all the same property. Hence redevelopment is of those properties only.
Wells Fargo is on a weird shaped lot that goes back to when that was a rail yard. It was some kind of scrap leftover.

Walter Gorman at NJ Lenders is the best! Would answer my calls at anytime of the day and explained the entire process along the way. I recommend him a thousand times over!

Reply to Orthodontist in Jersey City area? by 106th
Got my Invisalign at Heights Orthodontists on Central Ave and was quoted for $5K. Staff is super friendly and great experience. Only thing I can say I don't like about them are there business hours.
Closed on Tuesday, open Wednesday, closed on Thursday. Not bad just weird schedule but probably beneficial for the staff.

The quote might depend of duration of the treatment. The more work has to be done, more trays, more scans, more office visits - more $$$

Doesn’t address any of the other issues raised, I.E inadequate signage, charging above the maximum permitted decoupling fee, they could also still be cruising for cars. Not sure why you are going to bat for the tow company here.

You are overcomplicating this. These laws you are citing don't apply if this is the tow company that the property owner has hired. Anyone who has lived in Jersey City for more than a week knows that you will get towed if you park illegally in this lot.
ShopRite doesn't own the parking lot. But their landlord does. And their landlord hires the tow company to patrol their private parking lot. They have every right to do this. There are literally signs all over this parking lot. If this was the tow company that the property owner hired then OP is SOL.

There are multiple dentists at this office, but I believe the primary one is Dr. Andrew Paek (I think he is the only one licensed to do Invisalign too, but I'm not 100% about this).

It's always on when driving but you can turn it off when parked. It drains about 1% battery every two hours, and even faster if it is parked on a busy street. So no guarantees it was on.

Thanks both -- is there a particular dentist you recommend? Not sure if this is a place with several different dentists in one office etc.

Do you mind sharing about how long your Invisalign treatment was?
