Hackensack Discussion / Re: New(?) Historic(?) local Medical Center

I got a great name for Bergen Regional Medical Center.  How about "Bergen Pines".

nice work.  I look forwards to seeing more of their old photos.  I'm sure they have an amazing archives

I think the name change is bad for another reason; it's nowhere near NEW BRIDGE LANDING.

I don't think anything in Bergen County should be named NEW BRIDGE unless it's located in that geographical area where River Edge, New Milford, Hackensack, and Teaneck come together.

Hackensack Discussion / Re: Deer sighting

There are between 5 and 8 resident deer in Borg's Woods. They are usually either along Coles Brook, or up on the hillside near Brook Street.  They stay in Borg's during the day, and at night they wander into Hackensack and Maywood. 

Deer are also resident behind the Shops at Riverside, and they can easily pass under Route 4 at the river to reach the FDU area.

And deer are resident around Teterboro airport and in the Meadowlands.

YES, the new parking pattern is to have longer spots so cars don't have to back into the spots. 

You can't make this up, it's that stupid.  Evidently this has been done in other cities, but I've never seen it

And I bet they are doing this project WITHOUT replacing the 100+ year old brick sewer line.  So all the new work is going to have to be ripped up and patched every time there is a burst in that old sewer line

Oh, and I forgot the big one:  According to the Democrats, the whole thought process of how to improve society flows from the arts, and at the same time all of religion is considered "the problem".  If only it could be banned, taxed to death, discredited in the minds of our Youth, portrayed as stupid and evil, or otherwise destroyed. And that is exactly the Socialist agenda.  So go ahead, Pastor McClelland, continue to champion the forces that will destroy your Faith.

it's OK to speak out against the wrong's of Trump, but don't ignore the wrong's of the left.  The Democrats are the party of many things hostile to Christianity, including atheism, abortion, drug use, and more. 

It could be an easy decision for any Christian to be a Republican, except for the fact that the Republican agenda is against economic equality that Christ would surely espouse. The draining of resources away from the pure, the proposed tax plan that benefits the wealthy, and more. Simply put, there is no political party for the true Christian.

McClelland is my former pastor, and I know him well.  He is well-meaning, but I don't believe he recognizes any of the problems from the left side of the political spectrum. He totally minimizes them.

More fair to Egan than past Kelly rantings.  He's starting to get it.

key quote: "buses will no longer run on Main Street after the conversion".

That's a sliver of hope for this project to not cause gridlock, but I'm still very skeptical.

Bob, you are showing the new building as taller than the old apartment building at Passaic and State Streets.  As you sure about that ?  I guess if it's 5 stories on top of two stories of parking, maybe you are correct.  I haven't seen the plan.

Fences everywhere are set back a few inches from property lines in order to dig footings.  Even HE acknowledges that it's "a few inches".  I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's too small a distance for the adverse possession laws to come into effect.

Hackensack Discussion / Re: 2017 Council Election

First, the Ward map shown in the Northjersey.com article is long outdated. The Wards were completely redrawn about 15 years ago, give or take. Why does the County Board of Elections have the old map ?

Also, it's inaccurate to say that the two challenger tickets canceled each other out. The supporters of the Lara Rodriquez ticket (aka Democratic machine ticket) are diametrically opposed to Deborah's slate, and vis versa.  To suggest that they could have all voted to support just one of them is completely ignorant of the politics and history of Hackensack, and the people involved.

You win by getting YOUR VOTERS to the polls. Don't worry about the other guy's voters, you already lost and they won't change their minds.  And there's plenty of voters out there who didn't vote, literally thousands of them, and they could have been "rounded up" to add to the total of any of the tickets.  Educate the public and get support, and then get YOUR VOTERS out to the polls, and you will win. That's the bottom line.  Don't cry about having two tickets opposing you.
