They ain't got nothing on Marco's, the spot that used to be.

Marco's specialty subs were amazing.

I was once in line directly in front of Fulop. They didn't let him cut me. AMA.

I miss Marco's.

Their Zoom (Spicy eggplant parm) and Ciara (Chicken cutlet, prosciutto, smoked mutz, sun dried tomatoes on fucking garlic bread) were the shit.

Andreas is amazing for cold subs, though.

What should I order there?

Best sandwich shop in New Jersey, maybe even the NYC metro area!! Love them and a highlight of the Heights.

I just put a stamp on an envelope and mail it in.

Tax processing is also a jobs program for many states. Getting rid of it from a politicians perspective is a negative since it eliminates a government jobs that serve predominantly lower income workers. There's not much skill it's basically scanning and handling processing machines, it's a basic data entry job. It also happens to be during a critical time of the year jobs wise. There's a gap between the winter surge in labor demand and the summer surge in labor demands tax season nicely fills.

I'd rather just e-file if it were free, but I absolutely wouldn't pay more than a postage stamp for the ability.

What's silly is e-filing is still not instant. There's an artificial delay injected in there, even though something like 99% of returns are processed instantly. For the vast majority of people they have all the info before you even send it in.

Which raises the point: for most people the whole process shouldn't be necessary, you should just get a statement and file if you have a disagreement/something to add.

But the sentiment remains. 2 completely different customers.

Agreed. But I'm even more tired of large developers and wealthy residential transplants running long time residents out of their homes.

All the while using the polution as justification for turning the land over to developers!

I don’t think anyone is coming at you for saying Subway is shit

If you type BEACON into the Search box you’ll find lots of helpful info - most of which says RUN FAR AWAY & FAST. https://www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity/comments/zbn3j0/the_beacon_apartments_issues_with_security/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

Puchos on Lafayette and pacific Ave.

Cangianos is incredible! Haven’t had Andreas, so I can’t compare.

Andrea’s, dope. Veloce, dope. Subway was always C tier but the prices were alright, now they’re crazy high and the product is so far below those two, I wouldn’t worry.

I can't verify this myself, but the place definitely has that kind of vibe.

Wow!! Thank you for filling me in. I'm moving into JSQ after being priced out of my old spot. I really want to be a part of helping in any way that I can. The original plan sounds perfectly thought out and actually beneficial for all in both the short and long term. Do you know any steps that can be taken to possibly halt the Fireman plan (sorry, but that's his real name??)

This actually depresses me on a whole other level.... there's so much potential to do some good both environmentally and for residents. It would be a shame to lose it to more cheesy money making BS. I'm sure taxpayers will be funding it somehow as well.

Thanks for the questions. I know many have not been following this as closely as others in this subreddit.

There has been a long-standing plan to remediate the interior 160+ acre portion of Liberty State Park that was contaminated with chromium and other industrial waste following decades of heavy use by railroads and manufacturers. That area has been fenced off for a long time, largely due to a lack of funding for the environmental remediation.

Last year, the state legislature passed a $50 million act to fund Liberty State Park. There are two competing visions for the land:

The original plan (which almost everyone in this sub supports) calls for wetland, woodland, and grassland restoration to create wildlife habitat and scenic, passive recreation for all visitors to the park plus an additional sixty acres of sporting facilities, active recreational fields open, and a cultural center – all open to the public. The park also lies in a flood plain so habitat restoration will actually add a buffer to protect low-lying neighboring communities, particularly parts of Jersey City — Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette, and Downtown. You can see an older version of the state's plan here.

The alternative plan (which is the one everyone is upset about) is promoted by the People's Park Foundation, which is funded by billionaire golf course owner Paul Fireman. This plan calls for the park to be turned into concert venues with multiple stadiums to be built and concession vendors spread throughout to "generate revenue." Predecessors to the overdevelopment plan have called for a new marina for yachts (conveniently located by Fireman's golf course) and, in the past, an outlandish formula-1 racetrack.

For context, Fireman has long coveted an environmentally sensitive portion of Liberty State Park called Caven Point to expand his golf course. His People's Park Foundation has been running a campaign in the op.ed section of NJ.com for the last year either claiming that the first plan does not exist or grossly underselling the state's vision for the park. They try and conflate opposition to their plan with the false idea that the state wants to abandon Liberty State Park. This is an out-right lie.

So, the development activities that people are opposed to are the People's Park Foundation plans.

Nope

What development efforts are we talking about? Just curious if you know more.
