The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Turn down the lights, get a cup of a hot drink and follow this link to read the best Halloween story of all time, Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Happy Halloween from the Jersey City Desk!
We'll be running the scariest of scares all day long to help get you in the mood for trick-or-treating or the big Halloween parade in the West Village tonight.

Giants football gameday!
Well New Jersey pigskin fans, the New Jersey Jets are on a bye week this week and so are the New Jersey Giants as they play 0-6 Miami (snork) at the New Meadowlands for a 1 pm kickoff. We can make this gameday thread pretty quick by simply saying that at 4-2, if the Giants lose at home to the 0-6 Dolphins Tom Coughlin shouldn't last 'til Tuesday. Run the ball Giants. Keep running it. When you're tired of running it on Miami run some MORE.
The Giants will benefit from Dallas playing Sillydelphia tonight where someone is guaranteed to take a loss. So long as the G-Men win in the snow decorated New Meadowlands, Giants fans can sit back and know they have put the hay in the barn early today and can cheer for Dallas and the Shegals to kill each other tonight.
Fearless forecast:
Giants 31
Dolphins 10

NYPD's disconnect from reality
Recently some in the NYPD have done some illegal and immoral things and yet they now want to blame/intimidate/point fingers at everyone BUT themselves. Take the ticket fixing story that broke yesterday. Thousands of police showed up to intimidate prosecutors (and perhaps even NYC's top cop the untrustworthy Ray Kelly) and knock cameras away from those covering the story for news sites. Yes, the supportive ham and eggers showed up and blocked cameras from filming their crooked colleagues, shoved reporters and made it difficult for other professionals to do their job. How classy. One spokesman for the police actually said in addressing the media outside that fixing tickets for friends and family of those who support the NYPD is not a crime. Um, Skippy, YES, it is.
Now we know abut the screeching and hurt feelings from the NYPD when faced with an imaginary threat from people using their guaranteed constitutional freedoms at #OWS. They complain when they are shown to pepper spraying innocent women standing where they were told. They don't like it when people use cameras to hold them to their oaths apparently.
On top of this, a group calling itself "Sergeants Benevolent Association" has prewarned or prethreatened any #OWS protestors THEY will be sued by the NYPD if say a cop slips and falls while spraying pepper spray at innocent citizens. They'll sue protestors if they hit their head on a squad car door making an arrest, they'll sue protestors if they in any way make it difficult on the police. Talk about arrogance.
Then theres the rogue secret Muslim/Leftist police squad (that answers to nobody) the NYPD employs that has most likely illegally unleashed, without worry to people's civil right or constitutional rights, local "spying rings". Wholly immoral.
So, NYPD before you cry butthurt and wail and beat your breasts over this horrid injustice of police being held accountable for their actions in uniform look in the mirror. What your brethren are in trouble for is what you bust skulls (or threaten to) on the rest of us for the other 364 days a year.
Grow up.

Some amazing webcams now running live from the Statue of Liberty
Here's just one shot of our fair city, New York City and a great view of New York Harbor. Follow this link to the rest of the Statue of Liberty live webcams.
HAIL!! The Statue of Liberty is 125 today
Jersey City's own most famousest of monuments, the Statue of Liberty is 125 today (that's a LOT of candles) and plenty of big events are planned for Liberty Island, Ellis Island and fireworks out in New York Harbor tonight by Macy's.
NJ.com helps move things along with their list of todays events:
Kicking off today’s ceremonies at 8:45 a.m. will be the Naturalization Ceremony, which seeks to honor the millions of U.S. immigrants who were first welcomed to America by Lady Liberty.
“Some 125 immigrants from more than 40 nations, including Albania, China, Italy, Haiti, Croatia and the Dominican Republic, will become U.S. citizens in honor of the statue’s symbol of enduring hope since 1886,” Ahern said.
A National Park Service ceremony will begin at 10 a.m., featuring a talk by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and performances by various singers and actors.
At roughly 7:45 p.m., to close the 125th anniversary, Macy’s Fireworks will ignite the autumn skies with shells and umbrellas of light from two barges, as well as from Liberty Island itself, officials said.
The fireworks will be accompanied by the original score, “Gift of Light,” written by Grammy-award-winning composer Doug Katsaros, and Emmy-winning lyricist/Macy’s creative director William Schermerhorn.
A simulcast of the closing ceremony will be carried by 1010 WINS radio.
Now, tomorrow the Statue itself will be closed for up to a year for some badly needed improvements. The Ellis Island and Liberty Island buildings will be open to the public, but not Lady Liberty ("Moose out front should have told you...").

The new billion dollar makeover of Madison Square Garden debuted tonight with the Rags playing their first home game against the Maple Loafs. While Johnny anxiously awaits his first chance at seeing a Rangers game the picture quality on the teevee was a HUGE improvement. The game no longer looks like it is being played under 40 watt bulbs circa 1971. It was always so dim looking but no more. A+ on that improvement.
2-1 Maple Loafs midway in the third period.

We've got news you can use citizens so let's get right to it.
A high speed chase ended at Kennedy Boulevard and Communipaw Ave. yesterday after the vehicle smacked a building. The driver and his female passenger have been cuffed.
Union City Police Chief Charles Everett retired just one day (imagine that, how could he have known?) before a report very critical of his no-show security detail employment came out. Chuck, you have a LOT of 'splainin' to do...
The Hoboken Municipal University Center is once again on life support according to Mayor Dawn Zimmer. She's scheduled an emergency Sunday morning council meeting to address the parking issues once more.
Next Wednesday and Thursday Newark will become Gotham as scenes from the next Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" will be filmed around town. The city of Newark sez: "there will be extensive traffic delays in the area around City Hall and Downtown Newark along McCarter Highway, Market Street, Raymond Boulevard, Broad Street, Mulberry Street, Halsey Street, Washington Street, and University Avenue, due to street closures and the re-routing of buses."

Good call Jersey City
We here at the Jersey City Desk are very encouraged to see solar panels going up on city light poles around town. Why spend extra energy to keep the lights on at night for safety if you can grab some free sunshine. Now Johnny is by no means a tree hugger but in cases like this where the solution is so very simply we're glad to see our fair city move forward with these solar panels.
Maybe one day we could get a solar array on City Hall to help power that too. Any other suggestions on where these solar panels could help cut costs?

Giants football gameday!
When first looking at the schedule early this year when they first came out, no doubt many Giants fans ticked today's game at the New Meadowlands against the Buffalo Bills as a 'W'. It made sense, the Giants were supposed to be a contender in the NFC East and the Bills have been pretty woeful. Well the Giants nor their fans can look at the game as it sets up today as a 'W' and in fact the suddenly stout 4-1 Bills could be called a favorite today.
The Giants can't afford to lose touch with the Redskins in the division. Losses like last week Seattle makes that tougher. To lose to Seattle and Buffalo on back to back weeks at home might just be too much to rebound from. The Giants are 3-2 and not in dire straits like say the Shegals or a weaker than advertised 2-2 Dallas club but they need a big signature win at home. Today presents that opportunity.
The Bills can't stop the run. The Giants can. Sure Buffalo's running attack is a very good one ranking high in that stat. But Buffalo doesn't pass well. The Giants should just fill the box and make the Bills throw to win.
If the Giants are committed to running today (and we mean committed as in the chicken is INVOLVED with your breakfast whereas the pig is COMMITTED) they can shorten this game and get a needed 'W', the one they expected out of this game last February. The Giants also normally follow a terrible effort with a good one.
Fearless forecast:
New Jersey Giants 20
Buffalo 17

If you said the name Hoboken around Hudson County and the surround, and were asked to assign one word to it we're guessing it wouldn't be too far down the list before booze/firewater/liquor/alcohol/rotgut/grog/hooch/or libations would come to mind. Johnny was reminded of this as he dutifully read the Jersey Journal online this fine morning and came to this winner winner chicken dinner opening line to a story on Hoboken and yes, booze:
"Hoboken and drinking go hand in hand."

Rutgers football gameday!
Running. Ground game. Pound. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
Get ready for it today in Piscataway. Rutgers is going to run. Navy pretty much does nothing BUT run. It's awful windy today here in the Garden State. Even more running. Rutgers has a freshman QB which will most likely mean, you guessed it, more running.
Rutgers kicks off today at 2 pm in Piscataway in a non-Big East game that should give Greg Schiano some time to work on a few things before heading into conference play the rest of the way. The Scarlet Knights come into play today with a 4-1 record while the Naval Academy sports a 2-3 ledger.
Rutgers must without doubt stop the Navy ground attack. It's that crazy triple option that can hurt you in a few ways. If the Midshipmen have success running early it will only fuel that attack. It seems when this style of offense is on it's unstoppable, when it's stopped up it can last the whole afternoon long.
Freshman Rutgers QB Gary Nova has had quite a time so far this season. Making pretty good decisions and posting very high QB ratings. They will need him to be sharp today especially is passing become more that a flight of fancy. We'd just as soon throw bubble screens to Mohamed Sanu all day and call THAT the passing attack. Long handoffs if you will. On a windy day trying to get to 5-1 why take chances?

McGinley Square redevelopment is a go
Wednesday night (we're timely aren't we?) the Jersey City Council unanimously approved the plan that will bring bowling alleys, restaurants, businesses and other commercial shops to McGinley Square. Unlike the first proposal that so many found insulting where the city would resort to eminent domain to take what they didn't want to pay for, this plan does not allow for eminent domain use.
We sure hope this plan works. Too often city officials are eager to do something, anything to make the city look like it's moving forward. Taxpayers pay through the nose for things like this and nothing ever comes from it.
Here's hoping it's all done in 5 years and showing benefit in 10.

Another reason to hate Boston
Police in Boston this morning actually roughed up American vets, yes, American soldiers and tossed their American flags to the ground when the Bah-stun PD decided they didn't like the Occupy group there. Not only did Boston PD disrespect American vets and the flag but they actually told the media to leave and NOT film the goings on.
Good GOD that's pathetic and chickensh!t Boston PD. Don't film us? Sorry, you cannot legally make that happen. Dear all, you have EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO FILM ANYONE IN PUBLIC.
It just makes you wanna suckerpunch a Boston cop or light one of their cars on fire...assholes.

It's the Jersey City "Big Dig" and frankly we dig it, BIG
With the help of corporate sponsors, Jersey City planted around 17,000 daffodil and tulip bulbs around our fair city to beautify the city come spring. The project cost the taxpayers nothing (nice) and all that was required was a little sweat equity. Daffodils and tulips were chosen as they come back fresh, new and beautiful each and every spring.
The sponsors of this city-wide event were Century 21 Plaza Realty, the Hudson County Improvement Authority, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority, Liberty State Park, PSE&G, United Water and the Westin Jersey City.
Thanks to all who supported or got involved!

NYC's Meatpacking District just became Jersey City's Meatpacking District
The largest meatpacker of them all, DeBragga & Spitler, has moved operations from trendy NYC to hardscrabble Jersey City (and shouldn't meatpacking businesses be located in hardscrabble areas?) to a new plant on Amity Street a couple blocks west of the Jersey City Medical Center.
Co-owner George Faison said he was quite happy with the move and it really came off without a hitch. He said when it became apparent he was outgrowing his NYC digs where to go “I had my eye on Jersey City from day one."
The Jersey City Desk welcomes our newest neighbors, DeBragga & Spitler.

The annual Hudson Pride LGBT Festival and parade wil be held today here in Jersey City
The Hudson Pride LGBT Festival and parade will be held today starting at 11 am in front of City Hall on Grove St. The event is being held today because it was originally planned to be held the weekend Hurricane Irene hit back in August. The parade will head down Montgomery and finish at 1 Exchange Place.
This year's theme is a celebration of the fact that "Don't ask, Don't tell" has been repealed and gays and lesbians and bisexual peoples can openly serve in the US military.
Hey if they're brave and motivated enough to pick up a gun and protect Johnny's lazy rear-end more power to 'em!

Rutgers football gameday!
It's the game of the century of the week for the Scarlet Knights today in Piscataway. The 3:30 kickoff vs. Pitt is for first place in the Big East.
Look, Rutgers while garnering a 3-1 record still has some issues. The kicking game isn't right just yet, though San San Te made the critical must have kicks last week at Syracuse. The running game is abysmal and QB Chas Dodd is still making some questionable decisions with the ball. Until the offense and special teams get it right the defense will have to carry Rutgers in conference play. The defense was stout last weekend to be sure. They'll have to hold Pitt to under 20 today we feel. Stopping Pitt's top notch RB Ray Graham would be a big starting point. Graham is already pushing 800 yards rushing this season. If you limit Graham on first down and hold him to minimal rushing yards then Rutgers defense can turn up the heat on Pitt QB Tino Sunseri. Sunseri likes to dink and dunk his way up and down the field because he has a real interception problems throwing downfield. Stop the run and get a leg up not just int he game but in the conference race.
A big game today for Mohamed Sanu and the Scarlet Knights win it late.
Our fearless forecast:
Rutgers 24
Pitt 17

Know this dear readers, the Jersey City Desk's opinion is not for sale
Now we're reading a lot about bloggers who slurp up the payola and then write about some amazing product or restaurant or publicity stunt. That's not us. We don't take ads and if Johnny raves about a restaurant you best believe he paid with his own money.
Look bloggers, we understand some of your sites are big deals and have thousands of viewers and the pressures of ad money can be huge. Just be up front with the rest of us. If you took airplane tickets to South America to write about a certain restaurant contest just admit it. If you're having issues with your own credibility because you feel your review or critique would sound lessened for taking swag then perhaps you just answered your own internal question, don't do it. Also, if you want to turn your site into one big payola factory where you take free things for positive coverage, simply tell us. It's not OUR way of doing things but just be honest with your readers, it's the best policy.

Clinton Road, New Jersey: The most terrifying road in the U.S.
By Joe Dorish | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Tue, Oct 4, 2011
About seven years ago, my cousin Julie and her husband Mark moved back to New Jersey from South Carolina. After months of searching, they found a great house in West Milford, New Jersey. Julie, who I grew up with, called me and asked me to meet them at the house and let them know my opinion.
After checking out a map online, I saw the home was on a street just off Clinton Road north of Route 23. I drove up Green Pond Road, got onto Route 23, and then turned right onto Clinton Road. Almost immediately, I noticed that Clinton Road was different from almost all the roads in New Jersey.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs
As a Mac-o-phile since 1985, Johnny was saddened to hear of Steve Jobs' passing last evening. Johnny never owned a Windows PC and once quit a job before it really got started because he was going to be forced to use one. He's been a Mac guy all his life and the handful of computers that pop up like mushrooms around the Jersey City Desk offices are all Macs. Call it blind allegiance if you want to, Johnny simply calls it a great-gui kind of thing.
Rest well Steve, rest well. At least for one person you've made computing a wonderful endeavor.

WOW, signs written in Yiddish in S. Williamsburg tell women to step aside when men walk down the sidewalk
Seriously?! Sadly yes, Hasidic Jewish men have posted signs along Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg Brooklyn that translate to:
"Precious Jewish Daughter: Please move to the side when a man approaches!"
These guys need to get a grip and deal with the fact it's 2011 and we're um, in America. You don't ever tell someone to walk behind you or vacate the sidewalk because a man is walking by. Ask African-Americans how they might react if once again they were told to use the "other" drinking fountain or to sit in the back of the bus. We don't care if it's religion based or just some wacko thinking he's now the signage director for the neighborhood, #1 those signs MUST come down and #2 never go back up again.
Once again, religion on the move in a threatening way. Johnny's plan for banning all religion needs some work it seems.

Did you know that tomorrow, October 5th is the most common birthday in the USA? It's true. For an October 5th, birthday a person was most likely conceived on New Year's Eve. If you're wondering about the least common birthday (excluding of course February 29th) that would be May 22nd.

Jersey City, we have a bridge to build
Jersey City is looking to procure some $18.4 million dollars to extend Jersey Avenue, build a bridge across Mill Creek and connect Jersey City's downtown with Liberty State Park.
What a GREAT idea. The part we can't understand is why the city thinks this could take 3 years to build. The first thought Johnny had, as did a commenter on the JJ site was "It took two years to build the Empire State Building and we're talking three years for this smallish bridge?" Come on, we know this idea has been explored before but let's do this thing. Let's give downtown Jersey City access to Liberty State Park where you get one stunning view of Jersey City's Statue of Liberty.

Rutgers football gameday!
Rutgers is in upstate New York to play the Orange from Syracuse in the first Big East conference game (wait, Johnny didn't check the sports pages today, is the Big East still a functioning conference this week?) for both teams.
Simply today, can Rutgers run the ball? If they can't all the bad vibes of playing in the Carrierdome come home to roost: rowdy crowds, obnoxious fans, girls with mustaches, and 'Cuse QB Ryan Nassib having success passing.
Again, a winnable game for the Scarlet Knights even against a team they have a horrid all-time record against. Today we start to find out what Rutgers is this season, a middling .500 club or a late December bowl team.
Until they lose we'll pick the second choice, always the optimists.
Fearless forecast:
Rutgers 27
Syracuse 24
