I saw one that didn’t clean off the windshield. He was peering out the top of the windshield where gravity had made the snow drop about 6 inches.

Van Saun Park in Paramus is a good place for a day with an 8-year-old kid. There’s a zoo, pony rides, several playgrounds, and picnic tables. Close to NYC and Statue of Liberty, etc.

I like Cubby’s in Hackensack.

It's right near the Great Falls.

I’m going to throw my hometown of Hackensack into the mix. It’s a little farther from NYC, but still very close. It has a good mix of ethnicities and lifestyles, good food, and is safe. The fire department is top-notch, and the schools are very underrated. Rents have been rising, but are still lower than JC or Hoboken, and buying a house or condo is probably within reach if you decide to stay.

Nowhere is perfect, but it’s pretty good.

There’s Brier Rose Books on Cedar Lane in Teaneck, where I’ve made a few purchases.

Keep in mind, too, that the dicier parts of Hackensack are not super dicey. You can walk to Anderson Street Station too, so either train station is doable. The bus service on Prospect is quite good, as midnight_thunder said.

Nah, he was born in 1913, so there was no NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway yet. Route 1 and Route 9 were not called by those names until 1926, although there were roads there already. He was born a long time ago 😀

Hahaha! Shakes fist at Billy Joel lol

It’s a sing that you should follow Washington across the Delaware, and join us! 😀 Excellent drawing, btw!

There are still studios and a few one-bedrooms in Hackensack for under 2k.

My thought is, did they ever recover from losing all that equipment in Sandy?

Bruuuuuuce!

Yeah, Somerville Circle is an adventure every time. Constant lane changes by other drivers, you can’t blink for a second

This is the answer! I had a similar problem last year, and started to receive benefits less than a week after calling my state assemblywoman’s office.

I had some great home fries at the Hillsborough Star Diner last Wednesday. In general, I often eat part of my home fries, if they’re good, and leave the rest, but these ones disappeared before I realized I’d eaten all of them, lol.

Raritan itself is not bad. Small downtown with some places to eat, etc., but it’s also all the places everyone has mentioned, and has good access to highways. Low taxes for NJ, and there’s a train station as well.

I’m not a lawyer, but I would recommend you talk to one! Defending yourself in court is usually not a great idea. Ask around for recommendations and call one as soon as you can, so they have time to work on your case.

Commuting to Mahwah from Hackensack is not too bad, since you’d be traveling away from the George Washington Bridge in the morning.

Amen to this! Love that place.
