I’ve lived in Jersey City since 1992. There’s way less crime and violence now, but the drivers are worse than they’ve ever been.

Reply to comment by oseguera2020 in A+ coalition building by Progressive Democrats leader Hector Oseguera. Is this his strategy for getting >30% of the vote next time? by clade_nade
Despite the fact that I’m a hardcore progressive—and like many others here, would be your natural ally—this retweet makes me not like you. I’m not saying this is fair, since I don’t know you, but first impressions matter.
Whether you like it or not, now you’re in a position of having to change my mind about you based on further actions and words. And it’s clear this is a widely shared sentiment. However, given your defensive (and at times reactionary) responses in this thread, my first impression of you stands.
If you can’t recognize the difficult position you’ve put yourself in with many Jersey City progressives because of your unnecessarily charged rhetoric and the seeming inability to recognize legitimate reasons that your potential allies may not like what you say and how you say it, then you’re not as skilled of a politician as you think you are.

Does this mean Downtown will finally have good BBQ?

Last time I donated a couple of huge bags of clothes I brought them to the Salvation Army on MLK Drive. I would have just dropped them in the donation bin in the church parking lot on 6th Street here in downtown, but it had been broken into and was reeking.

Reply to Spiciest food? Hit me by pepe2489
Frog Leg Hot Pot at Grand Sichuan, if they still have it on the menu. Spiciest dish I’ve ever tasted. The broth is deep red, and it has 25-30 dried hot chillies swimming around in it. Completely burned out my taste buds for the rest of the evening after one bite.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not recommending it. I’ll never get it again. But it is spicy.

Summit Auto is my go to. Super fast, friendly, and inexpensive (in my experience).
