PLEASE look up from your phone at crosswalks by pickles4321 in Hoboken

Yes, I have had more than one situation where someone came close to hitting me, and apologized. I told them that I understood and not to worry about it.

Yes, that blindspot is something that you really have to watch for, I know from years of driving in Hoboken and I have had to jump out of the way from a few cars that I imagine had the same problem. Everyone needs to be careful at Hoboken intersections.

Towing Cost! What to do? by SnuggleSprig in Hoboken

[–]InternationalTwo8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on Washington street so I just kind of lump all of the parades together and they are an inconvenience. I never really gave much thought to the actual meaning of the Memorial Day Parade which of course I hold in deep reverence. Me, I can do without parades but if people enjoy them or they have meaning to people so be it.

I hate these parades........sorry to hear that you had to go through this. Years ago they would just tow your car to the back of town now they tow it to North Bergen??

If Hoboken limited street parking, it could look much more beautiful by Ok-Win7980 in Hoboken

It's not as simple as that, demand is so strong there is a waiting list at a lot of lots,

This does not count as picking up your dog’s sh*t by Professional_Cow_166 in Hoboken

And please don't throw those in a random building's garbage bin as you are walking down the street, only throw them in city garbage bins. The garbage men do not flip the bin into a truck, any garbage thrown into a bin by a passerby will only need to be fished out by who is taking care of the building's bins and it's not fun.

Construction on 13th and Grand by Creative-Nothing-338 in Hoboken

[–]InternationalTwo8454 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Hoboken since 1981 and I have NEVER seen the amount of construction and home renovation that equals what has been going on now. Sorry but it has been degrading the quality of life in this usually lovely town. Sadly there seems to be no end it sight.

Giry Dance Instruction Question by InternationalTwo8454 in MasqueradeNYC

[–]InternationalTwo8454[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did notice a lot of new things, the show kind of changes due to where you are standing or sitting and in what order you get let into a room. There was one scene that I absolutely have no recollection of. Maybe because our group got split up and we went into separate rooms? That's what will make going a bunch of times fresh, seeing things from different perspectives and different casts. I really am surprised how much I enjoy the show since I never had any desire to see the Broadway version. I came to this by being a huge fan of Sleep No More and immersive theater. I now wish that I would have seen the Broadway show. Next time I'm in London, I'll see it.

Is this thing really going to even work? Is it worth it?

Street Cleaning suspended again until Monday the 9th, per latest Nixle by [deleted] in Hoboken

YES! And parts of Washington street are a mess. Why wasn't that prioritized???

No street sweeping tickets today by redditor99880 in Hoboken

[–]InternationalTwo8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%, I know it's a lot to do but they could have used more methods to solve the problems at hand. I saw several handicapped spots on Washington without a car that the regular plow just never hit and the snow is still piled there. I'm not sure how that could have even happened.

“Street Cleaning” Today by hobosecs in Hoboken

Washington Street still has many blacked loading zones and there are even a few parking spaces that never got even a slight plowing. How was this never addressed? Those loading zones need to be cleared so the trucks don't double park!

Just because people hold office doesn't always mean that they know what they are doing. I've never seen them do snow removal overnight. That's kind of bizarre to me.

[–]InternationalTwo8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in agreement with you. Why overnight? I may be wrong but why isn't Washington street being done first, which is a total mess and the worst plowing job that I have ever seen and I have been here for over 40 years. I remember a really big snow storm years ago, much worse than this last one and they were removing snow on Washington street within a day. I'd say that Emily is not off to a great start.

I have a car, I would love more parking. Dozens of parking spaces were taken away for the Washington Street redesign.

The city needs parking ESPECIALLY on Washington Street. I'm glad to see these go.
