when did ground level retail enter the mix in the new building on State St?  everything to date that has been published has been parking ground floor and 5 stories of living space above.

the old Bank on the corner of Fair and Essex was not an old building.  when they tore it down we were allowed to use it for drill. only looked old on the outside, was a conventional wood frame structure on the inside.

the dutch sandstone on the corner of Essex & Fair became the United Jersey Bank drive up/walk up.  it was torn down 12-15 years ago.

yes.

yes, that is the one.  the buildings in the background on Main St. still stand today, the Victorian on the right is the one right next to the tracks

this was the original Fire Headquarters of the Paid Dept. it was at 22 Mercer St, and we believe it is still standing, heavily altered,now occupied by the ACS. Some of the features of the building are exactly the same as in photos of the period.   After the new Fire Headquarters was built in the early 20's it became Police Headquarters, and they were there until sometime after the city took over the current building they occupy after the life insurance company that owned the building defaulted in 1932.

you got my good side!

Start collection of garbage and recyclables after 6:30 a.m

Its great that you have a slew of ideas, and are prepared.    I do have to tell you though, on this one, its not practical.  collection is started early for two reasons, Traffic and the dump schedule.  later start on collection means it will  take longer to accomplish the routes, especially those on busy roads. it is also safer for crews to be out there when traffic is lighter.    The dump schedule is another and most important consideration, it opens early and closes early. later starts may mean that the trucks wont make their slots. 

also, turn lanes on Passaic at Summit wont work either, because the road is too narrow at that point to accomodate 3 lanes without using eminent domain to take land from the 4 corner property owners, and possibly others down the street to widen out the road.
