Tomorrow the State of NJ will hold a hearing on Jersey City's reval here in JC

If you would like to speak out and have your comments on record concerning the possible Jersey City reval, Thursday the "state Division of Taxation will conduct the hearing at 6 p.m. in the Scott Ring Room on the second floor of Hudson County Community College, 161 Newkirk St."

Jersey City hasn't had a citywide reval in almost 30 years and the state is let's say more than considering our fair city to go through one. The Healy administration had a reval 95% complete and let like a flaming bag of poop of new Mayor Fulop's doorstep which Fulop canceled because FRIENDLIES. Perhaps in hindsight Fulop should have let it run it's course and heap all the blame on the outgoing Healy, but now, your comments are wanted.

There are other ways to go on record if you can't make the meeting. You can find those and the rest of the article here.

Looking for some good food around the Journal Square area? Try Culinary Cafe

A new breakfast and lunch option has opened up to those in and around Journal Square that uses not only local fresh produce, but local aspiring chefs as well. Rick Low of the Culinary Cafe at the Culinary Conference Center has a new spot open only on Tuesdays and only for breakfast and lunch but it offers more than just menu fare, it offers young chefs the ability to set a menu, use locally grown and fresh produce and run a restaurant if only for a day.

Said Low on his students:

"They wrote bios. They designed their own menu. I let them order their own food, project food cost. We got a lot of response from the community and the students really liked it."

So why not support local food and local talent? Besides, doesn't rosemary beef stew, orange glazed Cornish game hen, cinnamon roasted baby pumpkin and seasonal vegetables sound better than White Castles?
