Where can you buy this? I could see something like this given as housewarming presents by the developers to new residents, but I can't imagine there's a market for replicas of JC residential buildings.

TIL that if they ever start a line that start/ends at Grove St. it would be grey.

Port Authority owns it, but Silverman has 99 year lease, so it's essentially his. Westfield manages it, but things get extra complicated as the 9/11 memorial committee (or whatever they're called) is the one with veto power. It's like building something with built in historic building designation. I also don't think Westfield has anything to with the PATH station.

When the Port Authority is the voice of reason, you know you've come to a dark place.

Reply to Any progress on Whole Foods? by Nuplex
There's a big one in Tribeca, a couple of blocks or so from WTC. There's a littler one in Weehawken, across the street from the Lincoln Harbor Light Rail station. That's the situation with Whole Foods in Jersey City. Last I heard, Plan A to convert the garage turned out to be completely inadequate, so they're onto Plan B. I think that's why it looks like an indoor build site right now.

There's definitely cornfields between us and Gotham. Probably a bunch of horse farms too.

A Micro Center located nearby (or at least near PATH/HBLR) would be great. Patterson is 2 miles from the train station, which only walkable as long as I don't have to carry anything heavy back home and the other option is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I keep hearing wonderful things about this place, but I've never been.

Check with your condo board before you change the front door. They may have rules about what you can put in.

There's going to be another NJ Cannabis Commission hearing on Dec 2nd at 1pm. This should involve a second round of annual licenses. If you want to speak during the public comment section, you can find info on that here. But, you'll have to register by Nov 30th if you want to do that. Hopefully, there will be more recreational dispensaries approved at this meeting and at least one of them can be in Hudson County, which currently has 0. At the very least, lets hope NJ can approve a 2nd micro-business dispensary as only one was approved last month.

2nd and what? I'd love to have something to do with my old coffee grounds, egg shells, etc, but would rather not have to carry them half-way across downtown.

Apparently, they have something called Pac Man Bikkura Pon. It seems to be branded Pac Man key chains and t-shirts. Link Below:

Extend the HBLR, but do it up central/western Hudson county. Have the West Side spur make a right at MLK and head up through McGinely and Journal Squares, through The Heights, and on to Union City, North Bergen, Cliffside Park, etc. It would connect a lot of people, making that area much more accessible.
Also, the extra stop at HOB on weekends/late-nights is as much about track maintenance as it is about cost.

Reply to Rail trails or similar near JC? by thenextstopwillbe
There's one that the state just bought from CSX that will go from Montclair to JC. I think the idea is that it will eventually be used for commuting.

Any of the Indian restaurants on Newark Ave in Jersey City will have several vegan options. Sapathagiri is all vegetarian, with about half of it's menu being vegan.

Maybe now that it's falling onto the tracks the PA will do something to fix Newport/Pavonia station. They should rebuild the whole thing, move the entrance to Washington Blvd (which they should have done when they reopened in the '80s), and remove whatever the hell is over the north side of the platforms (a/k/a Dagoba).

Wet water is water that has a small amount of surfacant (detergent) added to break down surface tension. It's used in modeling to keep sprayed, water based glue from beading up, so it soaks into whatever it's supposed to be gluing together.

You wouldn't find too many scientific journals at your neighborhood library, but you'd probably find a few "Waterfowl of North America" type general interest books. Maybe one or two on ducks themselves.
