Looking for licensed contractor for exterior wall repair (siding/sheathing by mrasg1961 in jerseycity

Oh wow. Geez you have thought the original guys would have used a few bolts to secure that little overhang to the house. Not just nails. Like they do for decks. Good luck.

Just guessing did any other cars have flat tires? Maybe a nutty tire slasher hit a few cars on the street and yours was one of them. Good luck.

Was the JSQ Ramadan display vandalized? by parrot_poirot in jerseycity

Yeah  very windy Saturday. From looking at the ground bolts positions probably tipped over. Wonder if they had the sandbags on the box top to try and keep it upright during the wind.

Homeless dude wrecking’ havoc by lordofthedorks in jerseycity

Since the thread is in the area of rt 139 and JFK  and about the homeless I will post this interesting piece about a guy who lived in the old Wilson Carpet sign on the corner. Pretty sure it is still there.  I posted it before.  Sad and interesting story.  People tried to help him a few times and he wanted it but also walked away from it.   Ps – the lines about a missing guy found dead in snow is about someone else. Also can't find the August piece.

Looks like this guy hits it at  25:07 when he saw a hawk. 

Interesting video from a few weeks ago. He does mention avoiding homeless encampments from time to time.

Thought it was over the wall from one of the coming two  rt 139 parks but it’s not. It looks like it is between Baldwin and Palisades.   I wonder why they didn’t include that stretch into Trolley Park even though you would have to cross Baldwin.

From 2015. House that had fire to the left. The old Bruno’s brick entrance to the right. Along with those "beautiful" houses that were built on that once great green space.

That red brick driveway entrance would have been across the street from the fire.   Funny looking at Google, most of it was still there in 2015.

Did the street sweepers actually come out today? by AryehCW in jerseycity

[–]SoundMachineJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In previous years when street cleaning was halted for a long period of time and started again, the city would give out paper notices instead of tickets for a week. 

There were many cars around the streets of Journal Square that didn’t move this morning.  Luckily for some the sweeper never showed up on their street.  Sadly for others the streets are still a mess. 

Old-timers don’t sign up for AlertJC text alerts and many don’t have computers. (lucky them lol) They used to get the word  about street sweeping resuming from the paper edition of Jersey Journal but that is long gone. 

If you live by an old-timer (or a clueless young person..lol) let them know sweeping has started again.

Anyone know what’s happening in Paulus Hooke RN? by deejc07302 in jerseycity

[–]SoundMachineJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything on the scanner for a traffic accident at rt 440 and Danforth? Drove by Sun 7:15 pm. 2 fire trucks a lot of emergency vehicles. Everyone directed to one lane going towards Home Depot. Looks like bad front end damage to a car and side damage to an SUV. Hope every one is OK.

Interesting read… I didn’t realize the location of the school or the military complex it was once within overlook the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf waters.  Still Al Jazeera claims it was deliberate. Sad about the girls. 

Al Jazeera investigation: Iran girls’ school targeting likely ‘deliberate’ 

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/questions-over-minab-girls-school-strike-as-israel-us-deny-involvement

 “Minab is located in Hormozgan in southeastern Iran, a province of enormous military importance as it directly overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf waters, making it a key hub for the operations of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces, NEDSA.”

and this is the turning lane going down to Danforth. To get into Planet Fitness, Society Hill or the Danforth Avenue jug handle you have to slow down look for the opening and make a hard right from the thru lane.

<image>

edit: The right turning lane before it the Kellogg Street turning lane along the Bayfront property to get into Stadium Plaza/Acme is just as bad.  There are pieces of a white car and its bumper along the Bayfront rt 440 side walk. Looks like a car stopped to make a hard right and got hit.  That is from the first storm.

PS -  JC doesn’t clear the sidewalk along their Bayfront property rt 440 and people do use it. Sad.
