Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTAVAGANZA with VAN HALEN!
The day Johnny bought self titled album by Van Halen he had played this song, 'Jamie's Crying' and 'Runnin' With the Devil' down to the vinyl with that diamond needle in like three days.
Alex Van Halen never sounded better.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE!
'Strangeness and Charm' by Florence and the Machine is not only the name of this song, it's how we hope you see our little sliver of heaven here at the Jersey City Desk.
Chris Christie can start working on the resignation speech now -- HE KNEW!
Well first things first. First, which scandal are we talking about? The G.W. Bridge scandal. Christie's school chum (and Christie barely even knew the guy before he fired him *wink wink*) David Wildstein says Christie was well aware the entire time despite his "Aw shucks some bad people did some bad things" speech a few weeks back:
In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.
So New Jersey, and to a lesser extent America, we got lied to. Johnny said the tells were there on the day Christie gave the speech he wasn't telling the truth. The question now is what are we gonna do about it? Are we gonna sit there and take it? Johnny sure isn't. Christie gave a two hour presser where he lied most of the time. Right to us. So, who do you believe NOW about the threat of holding back Hoboken relief for the right answer on the Rockefeller Property?
Seriously New Jersey, what are we gonna do about it?

Somebody define "rapid"
Because Johnny thinks his idea of a "Rapid Deployment Force"and that of the Jersey City Police Department might be a tad different. In fact change the paint job and you'd get a "Rapid Deployment Family Singing Act" from the 1970's.
Johnny wonders if a school bus can be considered rapid anything. Just pray we never need to use the Rapid Deployment Force here for a long long time.

Jersey City owes $500K in back rent for the Hub...which sets off sniping!
Which is why we're here isn't it? For the sniping?
Jersey City owes $500K in back rent on the Hub, the shopping center on MLK, which they really had no choice but to pay, which set Ward E Councilwoman Candice Osborne on the attack back to when Jerramiah Healy (remember him?) was large and in charge:
“It seems like someone with the past administration tried to artificially lower taxes by not paying a $500,000 bill.”
Ruh ro, Jerry Healy isn't going to like that:
“We paid our bills when we had to and if we needed extra time to pay our bills, we sought that extra time.”
So you can blame whom you want to, as one commenter at the link said current Mayor Steve Fulop had to be aware of this mess as a former councilman, so there's plenty to go around. The bottom line? Cool City is out $500K.

Time for Jersey City, After Dark
Time for Jersey City, After Dark
So Jersey City, what are your thoughts on Super Bowl week thus far?
Johnny's had a lot to say on the matter here and on the Twitter but what do YOU think of all this hubbub? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Mad at the JCPD for ruining the fan experience at the Hyatt where the Seahawks are staying? Spit it in comments.
Late night open thread
If your birthday is today, January 30th, you share it with one of America's greatest presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was born in 1882.

Local NJ towns: The NFL has been a nightmare to work with
Despite NFL protestations to the contrary, many city, town and township powers that be say the NFL has been a nightmare to work with in trying to bring events to their towns. Many in fact thought they had events in place after talking with the NFL only to find out the NFL has many levels of bureaucracy many of whom not to know what others are doing.
It's a good read and rather frustrating to weigh everything being said by so many local municipalities against a blanket denial by the NFL which w're frankly tired of hearing because the NFL's comments just don't jibe with what's going on on the ground.
