Idk which part of Newark you're driving around , But I haven't seen that in Downtown or University Heights... Most of that activity is near Airport Hotels and Union City isn't immune to sleazy activities what do you think happens in those hotels along 1/9?

Three comments and no ruts hut yet…

Listen Newark is not the greatest city. It’s got a lot of culture and is suuuuper easy to go to the station and be in NYC within 30 mins. But be aware that Newark is mostly known as ghetto. There are nicer parts but overall not the nicest place. I have friends who live there for the same reasons you are citing, they have had their wheels stolen. Packages stolen. One friend told me she’s used to sleeping through gun shots.

Not trying to shit on Newark but there’s a reason it’s cost of living is low…because it’s hella ghetto.

>Newark, despite being a suburb

Are you talking about Newark proper or one of it's suburbs? Newark is definitely not a suburb, it's the largest city in the state.

While ago a guy showed up pretending to be a military veteran. He probably saw my brother's military pictures on my shelves. Long story short, he talked me into switching providers. Ended up paying more that I already was paying. When I called to cancel, they threatened to take me to court. I just said fine, I'll see you in court. Never hear from them again.

this can’t be true

You’re going to love NJ, welcome!!! I’m more north in Essex county, but what worked for me was directly calling companies that owned multiple properties in the area and seeing if they had any available units. I ended up touring a garden apartment with the resident manager, applying that night, and got accepted in the next couple days. It’s such a nice place and location, too, so I’m very happy with how it turned out! I definitely think the fact the resident manager met me and could see I was a responsible/respectful person helped. Good luck!!

Hey guys, I would just like some advice, I’m actually with a solar company and we do direct to door service (door to door) I don’t pose as PSE&G or anything but the brand I work for, we are taught in training to be 100 percent honest with everyone, now this can be misconstrued, but any advice on a better approach, I a 6 foot male and I smile often but I can look a tad bit intimidating, I would really like great success in this field but my current way of approaching doors seem like you guys may not be to fond of it,

Johnny and Hanges in Fair Lawn. In fact, I had lunch there today. It was delicious.

At your age and what you are looking for Jersey City and Hoboken might be closer to your vibe. But the cost will be higher compared to newark.

If you drive around Newark at 6am on Sunday morning you can see all the prostitutes walking home after a hard night. I worked there years ago but I doubt anything’s changed. Couldn’t believe how many…. Union city much better vibe.

He runs it out of a trailer. He has a Giant Statue of a Bear in the lot.

Is that the most easily identifiable? There's tons of black people. It does relatively little to narrow the pool. Their clothing would be more identifiable. And it's not just the number of people impersonating PSE&G. You also gotta factor in actual PSEG employees going around.

I did this for all the months during covid because I was afraid the estimated charges would come to bite me in the ass. never had an issue and once meter readings resumed everything was fine

Man imagine holding this grudge this long. I'm impressed.

It was more of a dig at the guy's boomer hate over a comedy bit than an actual assessment of modern society.

You can actually read your own meter and submit your usage to PSE&G via the website or mobile app, don’t even need to take a picture.

$30 a week for a basic mow, but I also paid a different landscaping design company $$$ for a full yard remodel with new plantings, better designed layout, added drainage, etc.

I wouldn’t necessarily open it for the police either.

My upstairs neighbor had double parked her car. Cop came along, ran the plates and apparently thought that it was mine, because he came and rang the bell, which doesn’t work. Then he knocked. When I didn’t answer he banged harder and yelled “Are you gonna open this door?”

I said through the door, “No.”

So he starts scolding me through the door about the double parked car. I said it’s not mine. He says it’s registered at this address. I tell him “It’s a two family house” (thinking: genius). “Knock on the other door.”

Nah this is a pretty reasonable description. How many assholes are going around impersonating pseg workers? Not many. In this case there were two and the most easily identifying factor is they’re black. Gender would’ve been nice too bc that’s easily identifiable.

This was the first place that popped into my head too.

Chicken Delight in North Bergen. Seriously good, made fresh. One sauce, because that’s the one you want. Owner knows what he’s doing, been there since the early 80s.

Life saver thank you!!
