Saw a flyer for VVP this evening so appears they are this year. Halloween rather inconveniently fell on a Monday this year. May be more concentrated in the park instead of door to door.

Light horse possibly. Otherwise try the Ashford closer to grove.

Any particular car make? Honda accords are a perennial in the stolen wheels department and frequently end up on ye olde milke crates.

So random. She doesn’t even blog under that name anymore. Still annoying but much more tame.

Reply to How important is it to have a car in JC? by [deleted]
I liken JC to Arlington, VA in many ways (satellite to dominant national city, transit links into town, proximity to national/int’l airport). Car need will be lifestyle dependent. Useful mostly for errand running on weekends, away visits, and a convenience late at night and during inclement weather. Your biggest hassle will be parking so find a place that comes with it.

What kind of weird stream of consciousness navel gaze did I just read? This could’ve been one or two sentences.

The left bank burger guys will disagree with you. Agree we are the correct bank.

Great pic. Left bank of the Hudson never gets enough respect due to NYC hogging the limelight.
Recommend taking all 4 sights in from the southern tip of LSP. It’s this almost Hong Kong like contiguous wall of tall — JC, midtown, downtown (Manhattan), Brooklyn.

Andy Blair has done a fantastic job hosting old JC pics on Flickr for like 15 years now. Including “then and now” images.

20 years of selling sugary milky beverages is no small feat. These aren’t scaled up chain businesses. Probably got tired and wanted to retire.

Points for “sub-chicpea”. You even spelled it right.

Savings show up more clearly if you’re owning property in JC. Property tax is higher this side of the river but you save a bundle on city wage taxes. All else being equal you can net a sizable chunk here. Also cost of everything else — food, shopping, parking, fuel, etc will be lower than Manhattan. Cant comment on how Brooklyn contrasts with JC other than income tax savings.

Reply to Real talk, not trolling: does JC remind you of Brooklyn before it became bougie/very gentrified? by [deleted]
JC is as old as BK with similar industrial histories so such similarities aren’t surprising. Bk was still an exotic outpost relative to the city in the 2000s. Remember when sex and city had Miranda saying she didn’t do Brooklyn to the cabbie who also didn’t do Brooklyn?
Difference is we’ll never become another Bk since we’re not on the MTA and then there’s the “jersey” discount/stigma.

That’s what the flyer said. In or around the gazebo.
