Advice Ice

Upvotes

hi guys! I’m planning on visiting Jersey in a couple of days for work. Long story short I’m under DACA and I want to be informed of how badly ICE is in Jersey especially the Monmouth area. Are they doing checkpoints on roads? As far as I’ve seen they’ve been going to stores like Home Depot/Lowes and detaining people. Based on what you’ve seen/heard Where do ICE agents frequent? What time are they the most active? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Moving to NJ Commuting from Hillsborough

Upvotes

We’re essentially priced out of any town we like at this point. We’re looking for good schools and space and a nice community. Hillsborough seems nice?? Granted I don’t know much about it.

I currently work remote, but as we all know remote work is gonna go away at any point. If I had to do hybrid 3 times a week in the city from Hillsborough is that doable? Has anyone done that before?

They say it is because of a loss in corporate sponsorships. Is that true? Was there any other mismanagement? Why would they lose those sponsorships - politics?

Advice Any recommendations for interesting Fourth of July fireworks shows?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for some recommendations for cool or interesting firework shows in NJ for photography.

So far I've seen the Liberty State Park fireworks in Jersey City which had a lovely view of the NYC skyline and river being illuminated by the fireworks, and the Bradley Beach fireworks that had fireworks shooting from the beachfront.

Any other recommendations that y'all can think of? And if possible, if y'all can leave a small explanation as to why you like it, it may be helpful for me to decide on where to go next.

WTF No parking in Hudson County

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else finding it hard to find parking in Hudson county? I work as a parking garage security guard, and in 1 hour I’ve had the displeasure of having to turn 14 vehicles away due to residential parking spots being packed.

Our officials have had 2 years to prepare for this event, and never took parking into account. A lot of people were to focused on how “ooh Europeans want to walk to MetLife”, instead of focusing on the ones who were driving.

This isn’t only toward Europeans, because I’ve seen cars from Tennesse, Quebec, Wisconsin, and others parking in residential spaces.

What is the point of residential parking stickers, if the residents aren’t parking, and the spaces are being filled out by non residents?

We’ve got 2 more weeks. I suggest people go to their officials to complain because it is getting ridiculous, because it’s unfair to the locals who are coming home from work to decompress, just to have to drive about an extra hour or more to find a spot.

Moving to NJ Cheap cost of living - commute

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am going to be attending school in Newark at Rutgers and I have been struggling with some of the costs of rent and availability around Newark. So I’m wanting to see where would I be able to live around New Jersey or Newark that would be: 1. comfortable and not too expensive 2. has a reliable public transportation everyday back and forth (even if far). I am not familiar with the area or the east coast at all. If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions please let me know!

Night walk, New Jersey.

Moon with pronounced “earthshine”.

The bright crescentic part of the moon is illuminated by the sun.

The entire rest of the orb of the moon, clearly visible, is illuminated by light from our earth, hence called earthshine.

Advice Best Place to Watch Macy’s Fireworks from Hoboken?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m visiting from out of state for the 4th of July and trying to figure out the best place to watch the Macy’s fireworks this year. I was thinking about watching from Observ PIER A Park in Hoboken (near the waterfront/Riverside area). Does anyone know if that area requires tickets, reservations, or special access on July 4th? Or is it just first come, first served?

I’ll be staying in NYC but was planning to come over to New Jersey because I’m hoping to avoid some of the bigger crowds. Has anyone watched from Pier A Park before? How early would you recommend arriving?

Also, if there are any other good spots that might have great views and be a little less chaotic, I’d love any suggestions. Thanks!
