Rather than committing to a real number on PILOT money...

...Mayor Fulop and Jersey City will now just hire an attorney to fight any plan to make Jersey City pay it's fair share of school funding since there always seems to be enough for tax break after tax break for friends of Fulop and those get rubber stamped by city council. Jersey City taxpayers pay more for the inevitable change that will be forced upon our fair city by the New Jersey legislature unless responsible people somehow figure this out at 280 Grove St.

The Newark Avenue pedestrian plaza needs "upkeep" and "upkeep" costs money

And when we say "upkeep" we mean police patrols after a troubling spike in drunken fights and other improper behavior during warmer months. While Terrence T. McDonald reports when most businesses and restaurants were approached about tossing into the hat for off duty cops to patrol around the plaza, some thought it was a bit of a shakedown.

If you follow this link you'll find out who doesn't like the idea to chip in, and which Jersey City council member said "y'all."

Johnny felt like the President today. Lounged around, drank coffee, Tweeted some bullshit and didn't go into the office. He could get used to it.

23 years ago we lost one of the best

23 years ago Johnny choked up hearing of the passing of the great John Candy. A lot of people may just think he's another in the long line of large male comics. He was soooooooo much more. His acting touched people, he was never a punchline and by all accounts one of the most generous stars you could ever meet. His comedy had depth and feeling. John Candy, the world could sure use you today.

Know what Johnny remembers? That laugh.

Ready, Steady, DRINK!

It's just before 9AM on the Eastern Seaboard and half of Hoboken is probably already drunk as Lepre-Con is back. While some of the more bawdy actions from say 3-4 years ago have been scaled back, one gets the feeling it just needs a really nice 65º day for it to maybe pop off again.

That will not be today. LepreConners will be inside most or all of the day as baby, it's cold out there and by tonight, well, it'll be colder yet.

This one should pass unnoticed by most police blotters hopefully, thanks in large part to Mother O' Nature.

There was supposed to be a cover charge tonight because we had to count Maniacs. When you pay for 10,000 we feel you should get them all. Not a few smoking dope in the parking lot either. Like, get in there and perform hippie, people paid for this. Well, ok then, here you go, "10,000" (or so) Maniacs and 'Don't Talk' getting us started tonight.
