Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that cities had the right to sieze private property for private development, not just public projects.

One of our avid readers [or is it the one avid reader] points us to a million dollar Hoboken condo. “From the outside it’s one of the ugliest buildings in the neighborhood, and trust me that’s a hot competition.” Apparently, its actually two units joined like siamese twins with exclusive yard use.

If we were in the business of handing out blog awards, we’d give Dojo-Mojo Best Post Title Ever with They Had Me At Aloha. Anyway, we like following the progress of the Management Company, having spent a good bit of our past life backstage. We’re pleased to learn the Star Ledger has discovered Jersey City’s […]

Dojo-Mojo has again provided a nice list of things to do in the downtown this week. One item is missing: Thursday, July 21, your editor’s birthday. We aren’t telling you how old we are because we’re either too young or too old to be very happy about it.

Apparently, mixing 38,000 people in a single square mile makes for a dangerous situation. Averaging 155 collisions a month makes for high insurance rates. In other news, well.. there must not be any other news.

Previously, we noted that Van Vorst Park has an unsually vocal web presence. Now it seems things have escalated in this little strip of green.
