Hackensack Discussion / Costco
« on: March 17, 2022, 02:45:29 PM »
Costco Wholesale members who live in Hackensack are doubly blessed with access to 2 Costco warehouses, not just one.

The Costco Wholesale warehouse in Hackensack -- which dated to the early 1990s -- closed in October 2015 and a new, far bigger Costco Wholesale opened the next day a few miles away in the Teterboro Landing shopping center near the busy business airport.

Then in March 2016, the original warehouse reopened, but this time as a Costco Business Center, which caters to small and big businesses, but which is also open to any Costco member and stocks about 30% of the items sold in Teterboro. Today, there are only 24 Costco Business Centers in the United States and the one in Hackensack is the only one in the Northeast. The next closest one appears to be in Bedford Park, Ill.

Costco is a membership warehouse and the basic one costs $60; Executive Members pay $120 a year. Your membership fee is refunded each year in cash back from using the no-fee Costco Visa credit card: You get 4% back at the Costco gas station in Teterboro, where a gallon of gas is 15 cents to 20 cents less than elsewhere, as well as at any other gas station, 3% back from restaurants, and rebates for Costco Travel purchases and on whatever you buy in the warehouse.

And only Costco members can take advantage of sale items every month (the discount is taken at the register). As a non-member, you can accompany a member into the warehouse and buy items, but cash isn't accepted.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to shortages at both Costcos and price hikes, but the trend toward more organic items continued.

Kirkland Signature is Costco's house label and you will usually find it on items that are superior to and selling for less than competing national brands, as well as on many organic items and wild-caught seafood. One glaring exception is the $4.99 Rotisserie Chicken sold in Teterboro. Read: http://thesassonreport.blogspot.com/2021/09/costcos-rotisserie-bird-is-glaring.html

The Business Center in Hackensack is far less busy than the bigger Teterboro warehouse, opens earlier and closes earlier, too. The Teterboro warehouse has been opening at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays during and after the Covid-19 pandemic to accommodate members 60 years old and older, as well as health care workers and first responders, but that will end starting the week of April 18, 2022, when the normal starting time of 10 a.m. will return.

Hackensack Discussion / County streets and city streets
« on: February 24, 2022, 03:59:33 PM »
I've been upset that Bergen County, which "owns" many streets in Hackensack and the other towns in the county, hasn't installed walk/don't walk signs at Passaic Street and Summit Avenue for pedestrians after a woman was run down and then run over last year nor done anything to make Polifly Road safer after another woman was killed by a hit-run driver as she was crossing to the CVS in darkness (there are no crosswalks or adequate lights for 6 bocks of Polifly from Essex to Lodi streets). But it turns out that at least in Hackensack, Bergen only is responsible only for parts of Summit Avenue and other streets I formerly thought of as being under the supervision of the county. I haven't been able to reach anyone at the county, including the public information officer, Michael Pagan, who is also a Teaneck councilman.

I wrote two blog posts on these topics:

Hackensack Discussion / 2021 City Council Election
« on: March 25, 2021, 03:40:00 PM »
Deputy Mayor David Sims has been dumped from the City Council slate headed by Mayor John Labrosse, and Sims is heading his own slate in the non-partisan May 11 election.

He is seeking help from former 4-term Mayor Jack Zisa, whose allies were ousted by Labrosse's reform slate in 2013.

Labrosse cited the violation of the Covid-19 lockdown at City Hall by Sims when he brought his daughter, who had tested positive, into the building.

Sims and the other council members were reelected in 2017.

A third City Council slate is being headed by Leila Amirhamzeh, a member of the Hackensack Board of Education.

What's your reaction to this latest brouhaha in Hackensack?

Hackensack Discussion / Our horrible streets, roads and highways
« on: June 17, 2019, 09:12:43 AM »
Here is the contradiction of living in Bergen County and New Jersey: We pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, yet our streets, roads and highways are either crumbling or long overdue for an expansion, as in the case of the Garden State Parkway in northern New Jersey.

In Hackensack, many of our streets are in third-world condition, especially if they are owned by Bergen County, which rips us off in another way: Tens of millions of dollars in property, including courthouses and administrative buildings, are tax exempt, shifting the tax burden to home and business owners. Then, to add insult to injury, the county refuses to maintain portions of Summit and Prospect avenues, but merely patches them repeatedly and plugs potholes, reducing them to bumpy cow tracks.

At the City Council work session on June 11, the city manager read off a list of streets that will be paved this year. After 30 years of total neglect, my block of Euclid Avenue, between Prospect and Summit, will finally be paved. When I leave my garage, I have to drive under 15 mph over numerous patches and potholes repairs near Prospect to avoid hard hits to the suspension. Going up the hill toward Summit, the story is the same.

I asked about the conversion of Main Street to 2-way traffic and was told that project has been postponed to next year.

But no relief is in sight for the congestion at intersections that lack turn lanes, including Passaic Avenue at Summit Avenue and Passaic at First Street, because the county refuses to install them, even with its power of eminent domaine. I've actually heard a City Council member say in effect, "We can't force the county to use its power of eminent domaine." Probably not, but the city can demand concessions in this area and others as givebacks in return for all of that tax exempt property and the burden they place on both city services and long-suffering local property tax payers.

Why do city and county officials treat us this way? Probably because they can get away with it, given the legions of apathetic voters in Hackensack -- so many sheep begging officials to slaughter their quality of life.

These officials, some more arrogant than others, know the only way to reach them outside of the ballot box is to go to a meeting and grab 3 minutes of their time to sound off and express outrage at the status quo, something few of us do, and I don't blame them. At the work session I attended, I had to wait about an hour to talk after a presentation of a proposed $50 million YMCA in Johnson Park, and negative comments from more than a half-dozen residents.

What taxpayers need are ombudsmen for the city and county who can listen to such complaints and get them to the right official for consideration and possible action.

When I planned a night out this past Friday, all of this came to mind:

Hackensack Discussion / Hackensack getting first Korean restaurant
« on: April 27, 2018, 10:23:41 AM »
My wife snapped a photo of a restaurant sign in the Home Depot Shopping Center, at the back next to Weight Watchers: So Gong Dong or SGD Dubu, a Korean restaurant serving soft tofu soup, one of the cuisine's comfort foods, and beef and pork barbecue, all at moderate prices. This would be affiliated with the restaurant of the same name  in Palisades Park. After patronizing that place for more than a decade, we've jumped ship to BCD Tofu House in Fort Lee, where the tofu is organic:

Hackensack Discussion / City Council meeting schedule
« on: August 04, 2015, 08:38:07 PM »
When City Council and COW meetings are postponed or rescheduled, leaving the schedule as is causes confusion. I looked at the schedule on Monday, and saw meetings scheduled for tonight. But the meetings were held on Monday night, and the city Web site claims to have posted a notice on the change. Maybe it's not prominent enough. And when you can't count on The Record coming through with next-day coverage, then the public loses an opportunity to be heard.

Community Soapbox / 2013 City Council Campaign Announcement
« on: March 05, 2013, 02:01:03 PM »
Meet and greet with Victor E. Sasson at the Dunkin' Donuts on Passaic Street, near the railroad tracks, on Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to noon, to discuss his candidacy for the City Council and Eye on The Record. He will have nominating petitions to sign, if you wish to do so. Here is his platform, modified slightly from when he posted it originally:

VOTE FOR PEACE AND QUIET


I am Victor E. Sasson, a former reporter and copy editor at The Record of Hackensack, and I have owned a home in Hackensack since August 2007. Now, I am running as an Independent for the Hackensack City Council on a quality of life platform. The election will be held on May 14, 2013, and I need 250 signatures from registered voters to get on the ballot. If elected, I will:

Work with Teterboro Airport to reduce aircraft noise, and work with federal officials to get a mandatory curfew on flights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Get Hackensack to purchase more efficient vehicles, including hybrids, for the Police Department and other agencies.
Explore government grants to add hybrids to the city’s fleet, and encourage the installation of more solar panels on city owned property.
Start collection of garbage and recyclables after 6:30 a.m.
Ban commercial landscaping work on Sundays.
Encourage police to establish routine patrols of neighborhoods, if that isn’t being done now. Get police to crack down on speeders, stop-sign violators and loud motorcycles.
Encourage the city to undertake a major program to repave streets.
Have turn lanes installed on Passaic Street, at Summit Avenue, and at other traffic bottlenecks.
Encourage the non-profit Hackensack University Medical Center to pay more to the city in lieu of taxes.
Encourage the City Council to deliver a property tax cut to residents by passing along some of the additional tax revenue from major building projects, and gasoline and electricity savings.
Call me with suggestions: 201-488-3012

Hackensack Discussion / Quality of food in the public schools
« on: February 24, 2013, 05:37:35 PM »
My stepson is 15 and attends Hackensack High School. He hates the food there, and often doesn't have lunch, even though he has a lot of money in his account. On Friday, I saw some kids at Starbucks on Essex Street in Hackensack, asked where they went school, and was told Hackensack High. I said it seemed like a long walk for something to eat, and one of the kids said he never eats lunch there. My stepson says a lot of kids walk to the Dunkin' Donuts on Passaic Street for lunch. A pizzeria near the high school does a land-office business.

I encountered a candidate for the school board on Saturday night, mentioned kids' view of the food at the high school, and he said two things: there are lots of high schools with bad food, and Hackensack High had more serious problems. He's not getting my vote. I met another candidate for the school board today, and she reacted positively to my concern.

Why would anyone minimize the importance of food in schools? What else has a direct relationship to your health and feeling of well-being?

Hackensack doesn't spend millions of dollars every year on school busing. Where is that money going? Certainly not for good food the kids want to eat.
