Hackensack Discussion / Re: Road Cave-in on Anderson St
« on: November 13, 2009, 09:46:11 AM »
I thought that too, so I checked it out:


STATE: Tuesday only

Flags across New Jersey are at half-staff Tuesday to honor the men and women killed in last week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood. Acting Governor Richard Codey signed the executive order Monday in recognition of the 13 lives lost and the more than two dozen who were injured, including a 20-year-old soldier from Bridgewater.


FEDERAL: through Wednesday

United States President Barack Obama has ordered U.S. Flags on government buildings to be flown at half staff as a modest token of respect for the victims of the shocking Fort Hood shooting massacre that killed 13 people on a U.S. Military base on in Texas. The flags will be flown at half staff through Veterans Day, the National Holiday commemorating veterans on November 11, 2009.



SEARS: Wednesday, Thursday, and it's still at half-staff today

Perhaps they're just extra thoughtful.

Guess what - a new problem!

The Hackensack Space Needle turns out to be a drill and I found out they have to drill to a depth of 45 feet.


Q: Why, if the broken pipe is only 20 feet below the surface?

A: Lots of groundwater that will take a week or so to pump out.


Photos 1 and 2 show the drill apparatus, 2 blue Silent Pumps, and a lot of heavy metal, which looks like what Homer told us were called sheet piles (stop giggling!).

(Photo 1 also shows the Sears flag at half-staff...........anyone know why? I hope it's not an editorial comment on this scene.)

Photos 3 and 4 show the drill bit about to go in and on its way down.

Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / 1964 B.P.O. Elks RISQUE Hackensack Golf Party Book
« on: November 10, 2009, 12:38:30 AM »
http://xrl.us/6thGradeArt


Seller's description:

Dated 1964 "Annual Golf Book" of the BPO ELKS 658 of Hackensack, NJ. It was created and designed by Cliff Osborne for the 17th Annual Golf Party. The party took place at the Hackensack Country Club June 16, 1964. The book contains 14 original cartoon type watercolors with humorous golf themes. Most are rather risque. I imagine this book was passed around the party for a few chuckles. Each watercolor measures about 11 x 15".

This is more lame than risque.............and the faces are horribly-drawn.

From what I gathered from the workers today, it sounds like by the time they get to work on the Main-to-River block on Anderson, the Union-to-Main block will be open. But still - I can't imagine the problems that will cause for all the bus lines that come through there and for all the cars coming across the Anderson St Bridge to get to Sears for holiday shopping, etc.

Ho! Ho! Hole!


Today's pictures:

I don't know what the apparatus in the first picture is - the Hackensack Space Needle?

In the second picture, it appears that they're mixing up a large quantity of Tang ("Not just for Astronauts!").

The third picture looks decidedly less tangy. At least one of the pipes is a sewage bypass pipe running east on Anderson going into the sewer at Main and Anderson. As I understand it, this is a necessary step to keep the broken 60" pipe area dry so the repair work can be done.

Seller's description:

High Quality Black and White Copy Negative This Measures Approximately 2x2.5 Inches



"Lemonade Squeeze" - the seller's eBay ID - is, unfortunately, plastered across the online image. It's bright yellow in the auction, but I was able to lose the color.

Still looks pretty dopey, though.

Thinking they should be almost done by now, I asked a couple of workers today when they'd be wrapping things up and  - almost in unison - they said, "The end of the year"!

One indicated that they'd have to cross Main St. and go to River St. Assuming he wasn't pulling my leg, what a mess THAT will be!

If true, I'm guessing that would not be part of the most recent bid proposal and the city would have to go through that process again.

Where does it end? Those brick pipes are all over the city.


BTW - has anyone received any email updates? I know of more than one person who signed up, but hasn't. If you didn't, one was posted on the city's site on October 30, but not everyone goes there, especially when they think it's showing up in their inbox.

Since it wasn't posted on this site either, this is it in its entirety:





Below are some pictures taken since work resumed.

The third one is right on the SW corner of Main and Anderson and the last one appears to be the block's blowhole.

Seller's description:

this auction is for a hackensack suburban car dealership chrome script that was affixed to a car sold at that dealership back in the day...it is old and pitted and was repaired but has the 3 mounting pins intact and seems pretty strong with a jb weld/wire splint....interesting item


What is "suburban car dealership"? It can't be a Chevy Suburban - not in lowercase. And I doubt it's from an old DeSoto Suburban - they wouldn't have a dealership just for one DeSoto model and it also wouldn't be in lowercase.

It looks a bit amateurish..........is it even from a car dealership? Anybody have a clue?
