I think it was an old gas station which is why it has yet to be redeveloped.

My garage takes the total number of spaces, subtracts monthly spaces, reserved and non-reserved and then that’s how many daily cars they’ll allow in.

That’s the point. People steal OEM parts from Hondas and Toyotas and sell them.

I saw a Honda on a flat bed the other morning, no wheels, bumpers stripped.

It’ll likely happen. The developer will get a pretty decent variance or monetary incentive for providing the school and park.

I don’t mind BBQ but I know this BBQ is either going to be good and expensive, or bad and expensive. So it’s not going to be an every day place.

I agree the space would be better served with something similar to a Balthazar Bakery that served coffee, lunch sandwiches, light dinner fare.

The floor drain in a bathroom is more of a commercial thing than residential thing and there is no code requiring it AFAIK.

A lot of buildings do actually have a light fixture in the living room, just not recessed, there’s typically nothing in the bedrooms though.

It’s also because the ceilings of most luxury buildings are concrete slabs in the bedroom and living room. I have recessed lighting in the hallway, kitchen and bathroom because they had the ability to do it due to the gwb ceiling used to conceal the sprinkler branch piping

Yes, if you want to eat pizza next Friday they have a few reservations between 5-6 and 8 onward. If you know you’re going to want pizza next Friday though.

You can’t cut a budget without having service cuts or at least it’s incredibly difficult to do that.

It’s not even the school budget that’s going to be the issue. It’s going to be the expiring PILOTs. Right now the municipality is getting the vast majority of payments from buildings that have a PILOT program. Once those expire, that payment (which may in some cases be more than the actual tax levy) will get distributed between the municipality, the county, and the district per the established percentages.

Basically what that means is there’s gonna be a municipality shortfall and in order to make that up there’s going to have to be cuts or tax increases.

Wonder bagel isn’t AWFUL but I’ve had better bagels. They draw a crowd because it’s the only place in JC making bagels. For a state known for bagels, it’s pitiful though

Being a little dramatic, there’s a downtown with a bunch of small businesses but theres only one supermarket and no big box stores or a big mall.

Yep, town has almost zero ratables so the full tax burden is picked up by the homeowners.

Just bought outside of JC, tax rate is 3.1%, *sad tax noises.

Oh god no. Purely from the perspective that I live on Columbus and always fuck up spelling “indigenous” and that is way too many characters for the post office to handle on an address line.

As it is Christopher Columbus Drive is too many characters. It should go back to Railroad Ave if anything.

Assuming you don’t have wageworks. Been waiting for Apple Pay to be rolled out with them and it doesn’t look like it’s happening any time soon

I’ll also add that the metro card is being phased out next year if I recall correctly. The fare capping is going to be the new “unlimited monthly”

Nah bro, you got it all wrong. I don’t eat there because I don’t feel like staying up till midnight on a Saturday to make a reservation for the following Friday.

Yeah people are grouchy here.

Was simply saying I’m glad they’re successful, but their success scaled faster than their ability to cope with it. Which in my perspective is a downfall because only a select few get to go. If I can’t eat somewhere because it’s impossible to, i just move on to the next place and wish them continued luck.

It’s the hospitality industry and waiting up till midnight to secure a table for the following Friday isn’t very hospitable

But it really just goes to show how the NYT review was instrumental in the success. Not knocking success because success is success, but I used to go to Razza at least biweekly pre 2017. Since 2017 I’ve gone 2 times because I can’t easily get a table unless I stalk a reservation at midnight.

They’ve become a hype restaurant.

I got Taco Bell and it was a disappointment. They ran out of Baja blast and my steak Crunchwrap supreme was made with chicken. Was too hungry to go back and get it sorted.

Could be extra precaution. Not sure what the fines are for selling to someone underage but I’m assuming there’s a lot of risk if they did. Most likely a hefty fine plus possibility of suspension

Apparently they are not allowed to store information for recreational purchases. The id is purely to verify age

Fixed it, had a brain fart
