The JCPD just make these hidings so easy
On the morrow Johnny's going to take the JCPD to task once again and will pull no punches. You'll read on "alleged" more than likely illegal behavior from the hop of a situation and watch the bad actors act and see how bad those who carry a badge in this city can get.

It's a riddle
Johnny was goddamned busy all day (which is really busy for an Atheist) and just spun by the offices to turn the coffee maker off Kiki left on when she left.
Instead of discussing Jersey City today, let's enjoy a riddle together. Post your answers in comments. We'll point out a correct answer but the quest shall go until Friday's Late Night Open Thread.
Here you go (and it's not taken from the internet, it's in Johnny's brain so no cheating for you):
You are in a room, it is painted white and it unexceptional but for two doors, one on either side of the room across from each other. On the opposite walls from the doors there is one computer on each wall. Four walls, two doors, two computers. Got it? Behind one door is freedom, of course it is. You can't have TWO doors that lead to man eating tigers. That's no fun. So, one door leads to freedom and only one leads to el tigre. Since you don't know which door is which that's why we have computers. The computers are specially programmed. One wants you to get out and one wants to feed the kitteh. One does nothing but lie the other tells nothing but the truth.
You got one question to get out that door. Not one question of each computer, oh hellz no. You get one question of either computer. One. One question doing this correctly WILL indeed get you out the correct door. You've now got until Friday night to figure out which question that is.
Ready.....go!

The farmers markets are back!
Johnny got his first taste of the 2017 farmers markets at the Grove St. market today. You just can't do better than fresh fruits and veggies and for a lot less than at the grocery store or Fresh Direct. While the market didn't have everything one would want today, it's early in the season yet, the good stuff is on the way!

Who will help bake the cake? Not I said the fox, Not I barked the lazy dog...
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat. "Not I," quacked the duck.
But as you know from The Little Red Hen children's story, they'll all be more than happy to eat the cake. Which brings us to the utter lack of interest or participation in the Powerhouse Arts District from it's newest residents at The One, The Trump buildings, and The Morgan. Johnny went to help friends clean up the PAD yesterday and he's worked on the Harsimus Cove clean up days. He believes in putting in the sweat equity for the neighborhoods he's near to make Jersey City a place everyone wants to live in. Know what Johnny's job he offered up was yesterday? A giant grid going around and cleaning up the dog crap that idiot owners and bad dog walkers just leave. He's used to doing it and it's disgusting for those without a dog. Went through two full rolls of poop bags. Yes, Johnny gets to call you lazy bastards out who didn't help.
When you have a dog you get to know a lot of people in a wide swath. You just do. Johnny saw people cleaning the PAD from 150 and 140 Bay St. He saw people he knew from The A building and the new Modera. Didn't see any of the others. Do they not all use the neighborhood (and this goes for every ward and neighborhood)? There were signs up. The only kind you don't feel like ripping down.
See, it's not just the two spring cleanups these three buildings have bailed on. They've bailed on the last two art crawls as well. Bet some residents from Trump, The One and The Morgan enjoyed the art crawl, it's just their heavily-abated buildings just decided to let someone else do it. Let them pay for it. All three broke the height levels in the PAD through the courts, they've not been good neighbors to begin with, and it's clear their investment in the neighborhood is mailing in the PILOT check to city hall. Didn't the city insist they have art spaces (Heck, Public Storage had to put one in per neighborhood agreements)? Why do these three buildings and their residents sit these events out at every turn?
If you see them, do ask. Then ask again if they don't have an answer. Still no answer? Give them a trash bag before they get to eat any cake.

Late night open thread
Some people in a certain part of town are going to have their hides tanned on the morrow. So, look for that.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FIONA APPLE!
This song sounds better with age and it sounded good when it came out. Know that that means? It's aged to Music Series perfection. It's time to lead things off this week. She wrote this one, 'Shadowboxer' and her fabulous album Tidal when she was 17. Fuck Johnny gently with a chainsaw. He had kabillions of great ideas swimming in his head at 17 and the best way he expressed them out was throwing past-their-prime vegetables at cars and legalized hockey violence.
Well played Fiona.
