If you know anyone who could help with redesigning their website please reach out to them.

I wish I had technical knowledge, cause would help them.

Nuncio I know you are busy but I think the French can use some help too…lol.

Thank you!

Please folks hook up with the Friends of Liberty State Park.

Cough *Fireman*.

Everything People's Park and Fireman's proxies do is garish and focused on division.

I’m hoping someone else serves it.

Listen, my grocery store suuuucks and is extremely overpriced but at least it doesn’t try to sell me one leek for six dollars or whatever.

Based on the title of this post I was expecting some tea. Maybe a little hot goss?? No tea has been served. Sadly, no hot goss.

New York Ave bw Franklin and Ferry is so bad

Wasn’t this on The Smiths second album ‘Meat is Murder’?

Every part of Paul Fireman's astroturf campaign to privatize the park is disgusting, but this tactic he keeps using — trying to pretend turning public land over to developers, and handing public land over to a country club with a $400,000 entry fee is somehow a racial justice issue.

He's somehow persuaded a few people at the NAACP to spout his propaganda. He set up a phony "protest" in the park last year, so Friends of LSP organized a counterprotest. The LSP group drew people from all walks of life, from every community in JC. The astrotruf protest was 100% Black, apart from the white guy telling everyone where to stand and what to chant. It's what's known in the business as "buying optics." It's absolutely shameless, but there's no low to which Fireman won't stoop.

Imagine directing that kind of language at a retired kindergarten teacher who's donated countless hours of his time to protect the park, and in defense of a billionaire who owns a country club.

No one said you did anything wrong.

My comment was at beagle for his/her blanket statement about “never trust someone ……..”

That was in response to an earlier comment where I suggested the Chronicle was launched solely to push Fireman's propaganda. Then again, he's been at this for ten years, so I might not be wrong.

"Should we privatize the park?"

"Nevermore!"

I have nothing against her, but this post assumes we know everything going on with her and I have literally no idea what she’s talking about.

Lol no one said you should.

I’m just providing a little info for anyone reading who might take what ‘beagle’ said to heart and immediately disregard someone who actually cares for her neighborhood.

You guys do you.

Edit: a word

“I’m upset about something, and I will write cryptic paragraphs about how upset I am—but dont ask me any questions!”

That may be true but that doesn’t mean we should take her word as gospel with zero further information. Im also someone who genuinely cares about the community and sometimes I’m in the wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️

She’s actually someone who is very active in her community and genuinely cares about it.

I am more confused by the amount of people that seem to believe a farmers market equals "access to cheaper or more affordable produce". My experience is that the farmers markets in JC are ridiculously priced.

Developers have been trying to grab Liberty State Park for years.

I remember signing a petition back in 1986 to stop developers from toch8ng Liberty State Park.

I have no earthly idea what this is all about, but in my experience you should never trust someone whose pitch is literally "so you're just going to have to trust me on this."

“Drama at the Farmers Market” sounds unbelievably bougie. Hope they can resolve before long.

I worked in farmers markets and street fairs all around NJ/NY for years including JC/Hob.

It is unbelievable how much drama occurs. Almost always it has to do with vendor location, market rates, and most commonly with product.

I have seen fist fights over pasta sauce. But when the fish guy starts selling pasta sauce and the pasta sauce guy is already competing with the bread guy's pasta sauce, things can get saucy.

I have seen many fights over constantly arriving late. Driving a van around a packed market. Hitting someone's van with your van. Taking too long to set up and holding other vendors up. Usually the same bs.

I have even seen a vendor shamelessly steal another vendor's concept who was at the same market. So basically the chocolate guy shows up one day and isnt selling chocolate but has instead made a carbon copy of a jelly vendor on the other side of the market. everything from product to decor. We were all shocked. For "legal reasons" the market manager couldn't kick them out until the end of the season. Had to ride out months of them just blatantly copying. Crazy.

I used to think "this would mark for a great reality TV show".

But what a lot of vendors forget is that most people are coming to farmers markets to get good produce from local farmers. So as long as the drama is between vendors and the market manager, the farmers and shoppers dont really care

1. How are the vendors gonna get out of their parking spots if all the blacked out whips from people going to The Factory block them in?

2. They talk about SNAP and affordable food...will vendors be forced to sell things at a certain price? Because I can picture mangoes going for $5 each here.
