Reply to It wasn't me, I swear. by VaMoInNj

Broke ass vultures! You adding to your criminal record for Amazon packages? So you just don't and NEVER want to get a job? 🙄

And they always want to steal from people struggling just like them. It's a special kind of fucked up

I got no problem with him playing music. But if you walk your kids past him they’re going to damage their hearing with it that loud. Living in a city means being respectful of other people because we’re all on top of each other. When you blast your music that loud you’re saying you don’t care about other people and that your preferences are more important.

Again, I’m not calling the cops on people doing that. I’m not calling the cops on people who litter. I don’t even call the cops on people I see run red lights. But they’re still selfish assholes.

Indeed naive. Actually, a few years back the vendors were being harassed by plain clothes and what not. I believe it was when the arena first opened and the city wanted to...."sanitize" downtown so visitors would't feel culture shock and the literal "physical pain" of music or someone making an honest living selling goods.

Buddy, it’s way too loud. I love city life. I grew up in cities. He’s blasting it way too loud and certainly against the City ordinance. I haven’t called anyone about it to complain because I’m not “fragile” but it’s still a selfish thing to be doing in public.

I live on this street and was coming home from the city minutes after the shooting. (Thank God I missed that connecting PATH train!) Saw one of the victims on the ground. It was scary.

The only thing going on that night was an event at Loft 47 - which is an event space for private functions. The place is booked several nights a week. Aside from noise late in the evening, and the very occasional argument/tussle (usually from Taj Lounge which has been closed for a few months now), there has never been any violence related issues during my time there - certainly nothing like this.

There is a reference to Philadelphia on the Garden State Parkway Southbound in Woodbridge or Metuchen just before the exit take you to Turnpike interchange 11. South on the turnpike 30 mention of Philadelphia until you reach what used to be the Pennsylvania Turnpike extension which is now the new 95 South. That's where Philly references appear. It's been a painful years but last I remember most control City Signs continue to say Del Memorial Bridge or Camden. NB on 95 now says "New York" as of new signage.
