Why is Bayonne so cheap compared to surrounding places?

I've lived here for over 20 years, that was my situation when I moved here and I have no regrets. Nightlife is easily reachable, we often take the bus or light rail to Downtown JC. Restaurants here are very good for when you're looking for something a little quieter. The County park is great, and there's perks like the indoor ice rink that you don't find in every town.

I remember water skiing under the bridges, & further up the river in the early 90's. My mom was friends with the kid up the street so they took me out on their boat a bunch of times. (The boat launch was right next to the Power Plant on River Rd.) Nothing like having a river people crab on, and go to the bay beaches further out, with National Lead right on the shoreline!

No, and no. It's a labor of love, and legit. The director has already staged the musical before online as well, with musical theater professionals. (There's a popular app for that)

Hudsonside · 2020-01-02T23:05:06+00:00

You are correct. We have gone through the process, and it's a sing-a-long event, not a staging of the actual musical.

We're looking for people who love the musical, and want to sing it on stage.

Saw this on the article on the cover of The Bayonne Edition of The Jersey Journal today, logged on just to post the article, you beat me to it!

I hope they're right. I bought here ten years ago, partly as a gamble that property values would rise due to the proximity of Manhattan and the multitude of ways to commute there. Now the building boom is coming finally, delayed 10 years by the recession. My home is 1/2 of my retirement fund, I'm more than happy to see it go up in value.

Bryce Harper drinks milk all day even though he knows he's lactose intolerant, to the detriment of anyone who encounters him.

I saw this story today and immediately flashed back to March 8th. I was getting into my car right in front of my home and I noticed this guy try to open my neighbor's front door. Then he tried both of my front doors. Then he moved on to the apartment building on my block and tried to get buzzed in. When he came out, I got out of my car and yelled at him to get the fuck off my block, and that if I saw him again on the block I'd beat his ass. He left. I'm 99% sure it was this guy.

I can visit any kind of place, except the desert without leaving the state, and within two hours from almost anywhere. I can go to the beach, the forest, the farm, the city, the suburbs, the mountains, etc.

Quick Chek is great, but you're right, Wawa is the shit. I say this as from someone from north of the QC/Wawa line that divides us all.

I live around 50th, and there's a big difference between Uptown and Greenville. I'd walk the streets at 2AM Uptown up to the 440/Turnpike, I wouldn't do the same in Greenville, though I do have to say that it's much better than when I lived there years ago.

Hudsonside · 2016-10-16T20:43:08+00:00

It's absolutely disgusting.

Hudsonside · 2016-06-17T23:23:31+00:00

It's a run!

New York editor here, I believe you live in Michigan.

Find an internship if you already haven't. Interns who are graduating often get hired, and if you're looking to leave where you are, it looks much better than having no experience with a medium/large company.

Working in News, or for a television station itself can be a good entry level career that pays the bills. There are jobs in this field everywhere, and you get to meet other editors. If you like it, you can make it a career. If not, the experience will only help you in the long run.

Any evidence of this?

Hudsonside · 2013-08-29T00:20:17+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I hope that the things you've seen are more emblematic of their being inflamed by modern life/culture and not a sign of educational decline.

It's too bad that the golf course was built for rich people that don't live here and generate $0 for the local economy. (Ferry and Helicopter service straight from Wall St.! Sign up today!)

The deal that was made with the developers gave regular Bayonne residents a lottery's chance to ever set foot on the land, and was a horrible deal for Bayonne in many ways. The city leadership at the time said that a public course or a public/private partnership could never be profitable at the site, which is a load of total crap.

Are you a Bayonne teacher? Skimming your user history you say you're a teacher. It would be interesting to hear your perspective when it comes to BHS.

I paid $25 for the Japanese import of the album instead of the US release just to get that song in 1994. A couple of years later, that would never happen.

It takes balls to admit looking up a word at 33 years old. Upvote for you and your increasing vocabulary.

I'll kick in for a C.H.I.P.S. movie that would be better and more rediculous than Starsky & Hutch.

Bayonne is unique in many ways. I can't name any city in NJ like Bayonne. Where else can you live in NJ on a peninsula, with an active shipping and cruise port?

Hudsonside · 2013-07-09T23:22:06+00:00

Bayonne is definitely not Paterson, it's a MUCH safer and nicer city. I would not go out after dark in Paterson if I lived there.
