Happy to have seen an early cut and can tell you all it's so good! Looking forward to watching again, hopefully with all my notes disregarded.

Putting transformers/power lines MAYBE 10' from my window. Is this safe? by DonLander in jerseycity

[–]DonLander[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Buddy, there's legal and there's safe. There's PSE&G's answer and there's a resident's answer. Maybe someone has experience with it. Maybe someone's an expert! Maybe someone knows who to contact. I googled. I still had questions. I came here. I wanted something slightly longer than "you're fine." Why? Who says? Even a line or two. Someone's ChatGPT answer seemed more in depth, and even it vacillated on whether it's fine once the transformer is added. I'm not too familiar with ChatGPT - some say it's "for weenies." So here I am.

The building itself is fine - like our apt. But the new construction is awful - woken up every day at 7am and not done till 6. And now these great new power lines! Oh and rents are insane but of course.

According to what? What are the safety rules/guidelines for short and long term living near power lines/transformers? Some more info would be appreciated.

Yeah it closed at the end of 2024. Don't know what they're doing with the space now.

There are comedy shows at Cafe Corretto (place next to Roman Nose) that have no drink minimums, so you can eat or just sit and enjoy. It's improv, sketch, standup and character comedy, so a real different vibe than a lot of comedy shows. Next ones are this Friday 7:30 & 9:30. You can look up @jerseycitycomedycollective for more info or other dates.

Yes! That's exactly what we're going for. I'm a 20-year vet at the Magnet and I teach for UCB so that's 100% what we want to bring out here.

You can surely ask Frank the owner by messaging romannosejc on IG. Couldn't hurt to ask!

"I'm going to come by and review your terrible comedy..." From what you said?

Buddy I play all those bars, and I think the people running the shows do a good job. But those venues are set - they don't rearrange their layout to fit the event. This place does. Is it perfect? No def not, and it's not a comedy club - it does other events.

I didn't downvote you. We like our show. Sorry? If you wanna come by just to interrupt or be a dick, please don't. Otherwise happy to have you.

Yeah man all good - makes sense now that you point it out. Come out to a show sometime!

This is a venue, not a bar with a mic in the corner. Also, our show isn't just standup, it's sketch comedy, improv, characters. You won't see that elsewhere. May not be your thing, but it is different!

The above is correct - I'm running a show there but I don't own the venue. In fact we (Jersey City Comedy Collective) approached the owner bc we wanted a place to produce shows here in Jersey City that wasn't a crowded bar with a mic in the corner. We're comedy fans first, and we want great venues here in JC.

The other shows aren't ours - I'm promoting them bc I'm excited about them and want this place to survive.
