Toll Brothers getting on the 'affordable unit' bandwagon

In Jersey City, if you want tax abatements for really ugly unnecessary buildings, you have to agree to put in affordable units, even if you plan on dumping them in the next city over once "city planning" and city council gives you the variance you'll whine for. Not Toll Brothers, no, Toll today is at the forefront of affordable units, case in point, here's their newest offering for low-income or those of modest means, "The Hovel at Warren".

Listed on Zillow recently this property goes for $399K and while it doesn't have running water or sewage connection you will get 100% authentic early-American hovel living, complete with a cool blue back porch and storage/extra metal pod sleeping for friends and family. What's not to love, it's a Toll property after all, built with all the loving care they put into the Morgan.

Another B1G title for Tom Izzo and Johnny's Michigan State Spartans. Three tournament titles in five years and six overall. Now the real fun starts, ie MSU takes their revenge on anything moving for making them a #2 seed when just about anyone drawing breath thought they deserved a #1 seed. Old frenemy Virginia is out there in the Midwest Region. MSU has eliminated a #1 seeded Cavalier team the last two seasons. More on the rest of the tourney including full Seton Hall coverage later this week.

How about those Seton Hall Pirates? Winners of the Big East tournament the Pirates may have done Johnny's MSU Spartans a huge favor in knocking off Villanova who was holing onto a #1 seed in the NCAA Tourney, that #1 may well now go to Sparty. Congrats to The Hall! Right now Seton Hall sits at a #6 seed in the NCAA Tournament according to ESPN guru Joe Lunardi. Oh look, 3 games in, a possible rematch with Villanova, all from Brooklyn!

A closer look at the Butler Building

The folks rehabbing the Butler Building at Warren and Morgan St. are in the final stages of the project. They put up the side lighting on the building on their sidewalk along Warren and Johnny took a couple snaps.

Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with POE!

Here's a hot number to step off to tonight, a little off the beaten track. It's Poe with 'Could've Gone Mad' to get us started on the right foot. Turn those speakers or headphones up.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE DOORS!

Sometimes your love for a song never wanes and never goes away. 'Moonlight Drive' by The Doors is such a song for Johnny. Loved it the first time he heard it on the radio and that love has held strong all these years later.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SARAH MCLACHLAN!

For once Sarah isn't going to make you feel bad about abused animals (Hey it's a serious topic and her ad certainly hit home) but tonight she's going to be blue, covered in mud, and sing 'Into the Fire' from her Solace album for all of us cool kids.
