I am very sorry that you lost your friend. We do have a cat with kidney disease. Unfortunately, she refuses to eat the proper food. If nobody in the subreddit can use the food, you can email me at MetroCatRescue@gmail.com and I will try to find someone. Thank you.

I have been told that The Grapevine is the oldest. Perhaps the NJ Room can provide more information: https://www.jclibrary.org/resources/new-jersey-room/

For the people who worked, there it was not good. And the demolition was done like a number of others by a crew going “accidentally” to the wrong place early in the morning. Then, an inspector would appear to condemn the structure. The mechanic lost a historic car that was inside.

Train tracks were on the RR bridge at 16th Street. No, I never had anything to do with the polls in Ward B.

The Tunnel Bar it the Tulsa gas station? The Tunnel Bar was 15th and Henderson. The Tulsa I believe was 17th and Henderson. The demolition of the Tulsa was a disgrace. Not needing it for anything, the Newport development removed it because they considered it an eyesore. The oldest gas station in Jersey City.

This is Jersey City PG — PreGentrification — just outside of the Holland Tunnel.

It was December. Bobby lay in a car for three days at the Tulsa gas station. An ambulance had been there to take him to the hospital. He’d screamed that he didn’t want to go, that he was being kidnapped and so they left him there. Now a motorcycle cop rode into the gas station, stopped and got off the bike.

Banging on the car window, ”Open the door. NOW! Listen! Here’s how it works. Sign this paper saying that you were offered help and refused it. If you don’t sign, I’m bringing the ambulance back and making sure you get in.”

Bobby signed. The police officer left. That night, the temperature went below zero. By the next morning Bobby’s legs were frozen and had to be cut off.

These were the Reagan years and nobody – double amputees, mental patients, what not – stayed in the hospital for very long. One day, an ambulance pulled up to the Tunnel Bar and lowered a wheelchair with Bobby in it down to the gutter.
