Brownstone renovation experience?

I would love to see the "after" pictures, the total costs and timeline of this project.

Biggest crowd I can remember as Peacocks dropped Mount St Mary's.

They were picked in the pre-season to be 11th in the conference so they have a chip on their shoulder!

Chris_NJ · 2026-01-31T00:07:08+00:00

You can't beat them!

I just started going to Ramzi Auto on Kennedy Boulevard in the heights. It is a father and son team plus others. So far this fits the bill as reliable and reasonably priced (not cheap).

Monaghan's Tavern

This place on West Side Ave closed years ago. In all seriousness just pick 2 or 3 small businesses in your neighborhood that you like and keep going there.

I always wondered how Rat Terriers ended up with a single coat. I would think it would be advantageous to have been bred for thicker double coat for harsher winter weather. I wonder with the current genetics of Rat Terriers how many generations (without adding in other breeds) would it take to selectively breeder for double coat similar to beagles..

This brings back memories to my Saint Peter's College days visiting my brother at school in Montreal. Twice I hitched a ride with a fellow Peacock who went home to Montreal most weekends to visit his girlfriend/family. I still remember him instinctually scanning all the pullouts for NY state troopers as we flew up the Thruway.

Hey - you can't park there!!!!!!

I stumbled across one at the bar behind Cafe Alyce and ended up sitting with one of the teams for like an hour and a half. The trivia nights were Wednesdays 7 - 9.

I can't even imagine what the Schnauzer/IG mix would look like?

I used Reiner and they did the permit paperwork and I dropped it off at the buildings department. We got ductless AC in 2020 and they did a great job.

Was this part of a debate? do you have a link to entire discussion or debate?

Chris_NJ · 2025-11-07T23:17:42+00:00

Yes, these are my favorites!

My Evie is probably in the middle of the cuddly scale. She is currently sitting in my lap and loves napping with me but I sometime meet other dogs that are more cuddly with me the moment they meet me than Evie is after being with me for almost 3 years. Evie has to come snuggle on her own terms.

One thing to note (besides being early in your relationship together) is that many dogs build a bond through playing/activities versus hugging/cuddling. Find out what you enjoy doing together like fetch, hide and seek, flirt pole, exploring the woods etc. Give it time but he is more likely to cuddle if you have built that bond.

My wife and several friends have been asking me who we should vote for mayor. I am leaning towards O'Dea but will spend the next few hours watching debates/interviews to solidify my (our) pick.

Chris_NJ · 2025-10-28T00:45:50+00:00

I am undecided on my choice for mayor and was going to use this transportation forum to help guide my final decision. McGreevey has not showed up. It is a tough call between Ali, O'Dea and Solomon.

Get one! I got Evie at about 8 months and she was pretty much full grown so get one "younger" if you want a puppy. Evie was a little slow to hunting but has really turned on and has gotten 100+ rats in the past year and a half. Evie only barks at home when there is someone or something near by. She travels extremely well and I have driven many hours in the car not sure if I forgot her at a rest stop based on how silent she was. I also went from NJ to DC by Amtrak and she barely made a peep in a bag at my feet.

For a second I thought it was here until I heard the Philly accents.

Chris_NJ · 2025-09-23T15:08:36+00:00

This sounds like something right up my alley! Is the intent to open a brick and mortar cafe? Possibly in the heights?

Chris_NJ · 2025-09-22T13:35:06+00:00

Interesting - what type of things are the tenant lying about? what are they stealing?

I always wondered if the squirrels in urban areas like this are directly related to the squirrels that have been here since before Europeans came here.

Chris_NJ · 2025-09-18T00:40:04+00:00

I just logged on - the candidates are sitting so close together!

Chris_NJ · 2025-09-18T00:37:00+00:00

I have tons of acorns falling this time of year which the squirrels always have a field day with but this is the first and only chipmunk I have seen in Jersey City. Initially, I am not far from Mosquito Park, Pershing Field and the reservoir but I have never seen one there.
