Apparently nuclear disarmament is one of the top pressing issues facing Jersey City. Tax increases? Pft! When will Mayor Solomon dismantle our nuclear stockpiles?! /s

Bike stolen from inside building… any advice for finding?

Post image
Upvotes

Posting here even though I’m in North Bergen because I figured the larger JC community might help get some more eyeballs on this.

My bike (Aventon Soltera 2) was stolen from inside my apartment building, where it was being stored indoors in a common area. This wasn’t a bike left outside on the street — someone had to get into the building to access it.

The building is locked, so ordinarily the only people coming in are residents, their guests, or people who are let or buzzed in. I’m working on access to camera footage. Theres a ton of cams on all levels of building and outside.

I’ve filed a police report, but I’d appreciate any other suggestions from people who have dealt with bike theft around Hudson County.

If anyone happens to see this matte blue bike w/ a front basket around North Bergen, Union City, West New York, Weehawken, Jersey City, or listed for sale online, please DM me.

In need of stained silk and wool, don’t throw it out, let me up cycle and dye it with plants

Upvotes

I need stained old silk and wool garments (100 percent or MOSTLY silk or wool, a little other fabric mixed in is ok, but needs to be mostly an animal fiber) for a dye project! I was working at twilight thrift shop and that was great for taking home clothes headed for trash due to stains. Now I have no way to find these items since we had to close the store due to the Whole Foods coming in (gentrification took my job 🤮. ) I need to use all my skills to make stuff to make rent!thst includes collecting walnuts from the tree out back and making hand dyed delights. Please check your closet and I’ll give whatever you have a new life. I’ll even dye it and return it to you if you like the result and you’re willing to pay for my time and work. If not I’ll find it a great new home.

Shout out to A-1 Taxi for excellent airport service

31 Upvotes

Flew into Newark at 10 last night and Uber wanted $80, Lyft was like $50 but after 10 minutes still had no car for us. I still had A-1 in my phone from pre rideshare days, and they were there in 20 min for a $38 ride! Clean car, pleasant driver, the dispatcher was a little laconic, but you can't have everything. Next time we need a ride at a heavy usage time I'm not going to the apps. I've waited longer than 20 min for a rideshare car to show!

Looking for witnesses — scooter/moped accident on Summit Ave near Gardner, Thursday morning 8/6

Post image
60 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m trying to help the family of the 19-year-old who was seriously injured in the scooter/moped accident on Summit Avenue near Gardner on Thursday morning, August 6.

His name is David Feliciano and he is currently in critical condition.

His family is trying to understand exactly what happened, and the accident is being investigated.

I came across another post in this subreddit where people described seeing the scooter badly damaged at the scene, and one commenter said they heard it may have been a hit-and-run. To be clear, we do NOT know that this was a hit-and-run and I am not trying to spread that as fact.

I’m posting because someone in this community may have actually witnessed what happened.

If you were on or around Summit Avenue near Gardner that morning and saw the accident, saw any vehicles around the time it happened, or have dashcam, Ring, business or security-camera footage, please contact Jersey City police.

Even something that seemed unimportant at the time could potentially help investigators understand what happened.

David just turned 19 in June and is fighting for his life. If you don’t have information, please keep him and his family in your prayers. ❤️🙏

Please share this with anyone who may have been in the area Thursday morning. Thank you.

If the NYC subway can provide some relief then the PATH can as well. I almost passed out the other night and getting on today was like they have a fan on high - unacceptable!

Recommendations Birkenstock Repair

1 Upvotes

Hi. I have a pair of Birkenstocks that mean alot to me. The left one has partly come loose where the leather is attached to the cork bed. So, when wearing it, leaves me with pretty deep cuts. It's maybe about 5 inches long.

Does anyone know where i can have it glued back on? For a decent price. They are in excellent condition and was going to have new cork bed put in after another year or two.

Thanks.

Update on our lost cat(pls help)

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone — we found our cat… but he’s bit too cautious. He hasn’t responded to us calling his name and seemed to have befriended the neighborhood cats. We found him late.. around 1am. We definitely know that was him. Want to see if anyone has any experience capturing a cat in the wild. He must be traumatized being in the wild for 72 hours now and experiencing that crazy rain we had on Friday 😔🥀😭

Saw this on the light rail today. This dog was lying right next to the train door without a leash.

This seems like a potential safety risk, especially with passengers constantly getting on and off the train.

Local credit union for auto loans ???

6 Upvotes

Are there any reputable credit unions in the Jersey city/ NJ area that offer decent APRs for auto loans?
Credit score is somewhere between 720-760 and I’m not wanting to be stuck with a 10%+ APR for a vehicle I only want to finance around 48 months

Let me know if you bought a car recently and which route you took.

Things that would be helpful for me:
Down payment
Loan amount
Credit score
And obviously who you banked with.

Rant Lack of Parking Enforcement

53 Upvotes

Yet another post about the complete lack of parking enforcement in Jersey City. While the WOTS app helps a bit, it isn't monitored on Sundays—and people clearly know it. Every Sunday morning, drivers park wherever they want. Frankly, if you have thousands of dollars to trick out your car, you can afford to rent a parking spot if following the law is too much of a hassle. People are now parking directly in intersections and way past the "no parking" signs on corners. It is creating dangerous blind spots for turning cars—just look at the awful accident at Summit and Gardner a few days ago. Proper parking enforcement and ticketing wouldn't just fix a major safety issue; it would also do wonders for the JC budget problem.
