I was really surprised that a quart of whole milk was only $3.99 at Eataly. How sad is it that I find that “cheap”? But then I checked and it’s $2.99 on Fresh Direct.

The bike lane last night on 2nd Street off Harsimus Cove Light Rail station was still covered with slushy snow in Jersey City. 🚲 We can’t be expecting our food to be delivered during the coldest days when the people who use these lanes can’t be safe.

That doesn’t make sense! How will the snowplow clean when cars are parked on either side of the streets! Just bury the cars with slush and mud, I guess!
“ALERTJC: Street sweeping is suspended Thursday and Friday December 18-19 citywide to allow for snow removal.”

I already do yoga and pilates regularly, but nothing beats clawing your toes in your snow boots and balancing to avoid slipping and falling on Jersey City unshoveled icy sidewalks.

This is a great piece on Quemuel Arroyo, the MTA’s first chief accessibility officer. My elderly mother needs a cane (and my assistance) to walk and commute to her Dr appointments and it’s BRUTAL to watch her climb two sets of stairs at the 14th Street PATH station.

I wish there was an Okdongsik in Jersey City; a small bar where I can just sit and slurp a bowl of Korean gomtang during the coldest of cold days. I don’t mind going to Koreatown in NYC, but I’d rather just bike around my neighborhood to get it. #ciaeatsnyc

All right, Jersey City public transportation folks! Another survey here. Tell the Governor-Elect she has to think about Jersey City and not just the suburbs. Tell her you want improved Light Rail, PATH, and public transportation infrastructure! #njtransit
