We recently used canaan tech mechanical to replace one of ours- a 50 gallon. Cost was around 12-1500 (can’t remember exactly which) including labor and materials.

I had my last dinner from them last night when I learned they were closing. Now, the only place still open in the neighborhood from when I moved in is O'Hara's. I don't miss Chili's that much (although I though they'd rent that space out by now), but I'm going to miss Teppan.

Thank you! This is so much more efficient than the official path app.

Having a bad knee injury, I ended up needing the lift and my god it was a nightmare. It added 30 minutes to my commute, longer if there was a line for it. Total nightmare set up too with the constant push button. I’ll heal, but I can’t imagine how unbelievably awful this would be for anyone who might need a lift 24/7. Not to mention all the other ways JC is not ADA friendly.

I think it's very clear you haven't used the lift this post refers to.

Who cares about voting or investing in the community when most residents know they will be priced out in a few years? The city knows exactly what they are doing when they let developers turn all the housing supply into luxury rentals that very few people can afford to live in long term. It’s a free for all with no oversight.

Not necessarily related but I’ll just add the only reason the spouse who murdered the JC teacher was caught was because they got pulled over in Kearny. You know that would have never happened in JC.

There is zero incentive for JCPD to follow up on anything because it appears no one gives a shit.

Nobody loves to blame FulofShitLop for everything more than me, but it’s the people who keep voting for him and don’t care about corruption, the lack of 911 service, the lack of any active policing, the situation with runaway education expenses…etc.

Your 1st sentence in the post.

Not sure if they’re best in downtown, but I enjoy the ones from Diesel and Duke’s. Good enough to eat without any kind of dip, which is IMO the litmus test for a good fry.

Really wow I would’ve never guessed. I just moved here a few months ago and the place has always looked spotless when I’ve been there. New management maybe?

Ok

Do not eat there I trained to be a bartender there and the bar I was at was so disgusting I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve been in food service since the 90’s. They were upset I was cleaning but I couldn’t just stand around with all that filth.

Lol, they don't even clean the floor...

Not sure but I think your not suppose to be a dick or call people names on this forum - perhaps you need a lesson on how to respond ..... here's a copy of an A++ post from above that shoots down my nothing burger with no "I'm a huge dickhead overtones" - Try better next time Mr Angry

.... We pay our officials to work for us. When someone else pays them--in cash or gifts or trips to Paris--our officials don't work for us anymore.

This trip is worrying because there's arguably legit reason for the mayor and a few councilmembers to visit Pompidou, even on the taxpayer dime. Yet this vanilla trip gets shrouded in secrecy. Makes it hard to forget we live in Hudson County.

Not really. You’re largely making that up.

There’s not many options on what you can install. Each elevator manufacturer only offers a few outdoor public spaces elevators. Only one or two will meet the spec for that space. And ADA is specific in terms of everything needed for compliance with any elevator.

Most of the options are things like floor color, cab lighting, if you want a screen to show ads etc.

Oh and there’s like 3 or 4 companies in North America that do elevators now. All the brands are basically owned by the same folks.

They basically just rubber stamped it and took the lowest bid, which was likely only the lowest by a couple thousand dollars.

There’s no real choice in this crap beyond a few design elements that bolt into place.

And yes, new elevators are notably slower than old ones. You can thank new laws in a bunch of states and lawsuits forcing them to slow down public space elevators for accessibility purposes Door times are slower, even movement was slowed since it impacts and disorients some people with inner ear issues if it moves to fast… but those type of people OP gives 0 shits about (i actually know someone with this affliction).

The news blackout on this story is really, really odd.

IF (emphasized in capital letters) the general reports about what happened are true - meaning that the person who rammed the building was in his own vehicle with his own family/friends as passengers - then it is incredibly difficult to believe that the perpetrator has not yet been caught.

Yes, the driver got out and fled on foot, but the car and the passengers remained at the scene, and some passengers were taken to the hospital, so one would think there would be no difficulty in identifying the driver.

If the driver didn't know the occupants of the car, then you'd think the manhunt would be even more intense and publicized since his actions would rise to carjacking and injuring children in the car.

You'd also think the city would place a high priority on capturing the perpetrator, and publicizing that capture, in order to deflect any negative imications of the failure of 911 to pick up.

So there is a lot about this that is rather confounding.

I don’t really understand the passive aggressive comment here, I never stated it has anything to do with jersey city. Does the PATH have a subreddit? Would you rather me not have posted anything at all and not raised attention to the issue?

I just don't understand why. From a mechanical/electrical engineering perspective, you're spending all this money to install something there. A device which ferries individuals up and down on a flat surface, and sure, you want to cut some corners to shave the price down. So you cut the mechanism to run the motor for a set time between levels...

But you're not losing the required safety mechanisms to determine the doors shouldn't open if it's in between levels, the ability the determine if it's on a level at all, etc, so you've chosen something seemingly minor to cut by having to hold the button for forever, thereby inconveniencing or straight up excluding someone who's mobility issues might extend beyond just their legs. So...why PATH contractors? It just seems like a jerk move with little gain you know?

Only 33rd is. The rest have only narrow twisty stairways

Honestly think we should move back to brick roads. More expensive upfront but much more durable. It'll make drivers drive more slowly with the rumble creating a safer and aesthetically pleasing environment for the rest of us. Would also reduce run off as well.

NY roads are also terrible. It’s funny if you drive out of Jersey city almost anywhere you can tell you’ve reached another city because the roads become noticeably better instantly. Same with NY in a lot of places I’ve been

The police still haven’t called back
