Even homeless people prefer NYC.

This is the correct answer. Foot scan, shoe recommendations and custom foot beds. #lifechanging

It's $10 to go to NYC. Only $2 to cross the canal on the NJ side.

Not to mention that the dates for acceptance at the various magnet and private schools are all different, leading to having to make a commitment before you've heard from all of them.
Good luck. If it helps hearing from the other side of the process, my kids who went to McNair and their friends who went to the county schools all got well prepared for college and are doing great!

The $13M for the bridge came from both the City and the Turnpike Authority. $10M came from the NJTA

100% agree. The only good place in the area is Binh Duong in Belleville

Yes. But this is where I live and I believe a lot of parents from this area applied or have kids already attending those places.

Honestly, I can swim for hours(and have)....and it’s so good for you without putting too much strain on your body.
Hudson County really needs more public/private pools.

For my feet was told to look for round toe box so my feet don’t get smushed or rub together. Soft mesh upper and good arch support.
Some of the models I was told to try out Hoka Bondi, Brooks Ghost, New Balance(those grey ones that lots of Dads and Grand parents rock lol) and a brand called Topo... I forget the others that am suppose to look out for.

Any specific brand you looking for?
Besides Foot Locker, I usually go to Kicsclusive in the mall or Magic Sneaker in Journal Square

Trebuchet and large net on each side would be cheaper and more exhilarating.

I would 2nd Blink. I used to be a member there (twice). And both times I was on the cheaper plan. But I signed up in person. No idea, if they changed things or you just have to do it in person. I eventually cancelled (for the 2nd time), so obviously there were reasons it didn't work out for me, but for what you want, this sounds like the way to go. As for World Boxing Gym, your instincts are correct. It's too expensive for what it is and what you want. I would never travel to go there. It's only worth it, if you're paying for convenience...aka you live a quick walk away from it.

I'd put money down that someone going from Grand onto Jersey taking a left hits someone going to or leaving the hospital. I'd also be willing to bet that a car will be hit by or hit the light rail trying to speed through a red on Jersey Ave.

Have you tried https://www.heightsfitnessjc.com/ ?
Also FWIW, I stopped going to a real gym entirely during covid and learned calisthenics through YouTube and found that to be a great alternative. You can do a full body workout with little to no equipment whenever you want from home. Good Luck with your fitness journey!

Blink journal square is so packed nowadays I would suggest everyone to stay away unless it’s your only option

Not as many pan handling opportunities. But we certainly have less than Hoboken.
