Aaron Morrill, owner of Two Boots Pizza (mea culpa, Johnny loves their food), took on the recent flip flop by the Fulop Administration over so-called chain stores and the 2015 ban placed on them downtown. Morrill rightly points out the evidence was there this plan would not work and why.
Also, thanks to Terrence T. McDonald who looked this up as Johnny couldn't find it in his notes; Rich Boggiano was the only council member to see this ban was the wrong idea. A good read on why facts and research must win the day over things that may sound great in theory, but just don't pass critical muster.
Good brunch reading.

We have snivelers in our midst Jersey City
It would seem a few business owners, restaurants mostly, have an issue with the Farmer's Market that sets up shop outside the Grove St. PATH station on Monday and Thursday from 4-8pm. Both Two Boots owner Aaron Morrill and Jeff Fabia, owner of Grove Square at Grove Street (The Bistro on the corner) whined to the Jersey Journal's Terrence T. McDonald that the Farmer's Market is costing them business because prepared foods are allowed alongside the usual farm fare of veggies and fruits.
Dear Aaron and Jeff, please STFU. Aaron, did you complain when the pedestrian mall was put in on Newark Ave next to your store? Wouldn't people walking outside your store give you an advantage over say Helen's up the street? Jeff Fabia, you could try serving good food for a change. Johnny's been to your place one out of curiosity and then with a friend who wanted to go and both times your food was substandard. Were either of your businesses open before these empanada stands and food trucks (and we're talking eight hours a week, A WEEK these things are there) set up shop? No? Oh, gee well thanks for whining you Johnny-come-latelys. Maybe besides fresh fruits and veggies people want a few empanadas to take home. Johnny loves those empanadas but also supports the food trucks there too.
Is Two Boots suddenly FROM Jersey City now? Morrill complained in the article that some of the prepared food vendors are from outside Jersey City. Hey, just like Two Boots, NY based.
So until the pedestrian walkways disappears from in front of Two Boots and the Grove Square at Grove Street, these guys should just accept the fact other people have wares for sale too and they certainly don't have a monopoly on being a go to food destination. They would appear to have the market cornered on whining, however.
