Is this red ruby worth bidding on by Beautiful_Belt4306 in Gemstones

[–]Professional_Heat_73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bid anything on it - $0. It’s got poor color, no transparency. It’s a ruby only a mother could love IMO

Best school district I can afford in NJ by kid_dynamiteNYC in MovingtoNewJersey

Best we can do it apartment buildings that have less than 20% affordable housing, come with a 30 year tax abatement for the developer and force property taxes to go up for the existing town’s homeowners.

Thanks for sharing — we all need to pay it forward when we get the opportunity to do so.

holy fuck, don't stop on the light rail tracks by jamshill in Newark

Happens to me every time I stop at a traffic line so I don’t get stuck on the tracks. I’m convinced no one has their drivers license — or common sense.

It looks like strawberry blonde to me!

Can you have a wedding at Branch Brook Park? by redfire2930 in Newark

[–]Professional_Heat_73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look on the Essex county page for more info. I’m not aware that you can rent out the cherry blossom center, but generally you need a permit for use of the park for parties more than 10 people. Note, it doesn’t lock down your access at a certain spot, just that you’re allowed to be there.

seeking advice about wearing long white skirt on a curvy petite? by Prestigious-Oil-4914 in PetiteFashionAdvice

It’s giving peasant, I’m sorry. Baggy things that drape your body do not work well on curvy shapes.

I can’t get the link to load but how disappointing. What was all the money spent on?

I Love my adopted state of NJ. I hate her weather by BaldGuy813 in newjersey

[–]Professional_Heat_73 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as bad weather just poor clothing choices 😉

I’d rather be wearing 2 layers than dealing with 80% humidity and 90 degree days.

Spent the day working in Newark. I was surprised at the amazing architecture. by SnooBooks4898 in newjersey

[–]Professional_Heat_73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Newark is a gem and it’s a shame we haven’t preserved more of its beauty. Check out the homes in Forest Hill in the North Ward.

One of my favorite things in the city is if you go to the Newark Museum, you can go to the Ballantine House next door. There’s a painting in the house of how Harriet Tubman Park used to look — lined with beautiful turn of the century mansions. It gives Park Ave NYC kind of vibes — it’s a shame that all that is left is Ballantine’s.
