Rant Corner

April
4/30/2007:
Here’s a place you could you could talk about anything. Bicycles, obesity, laziness, or whatever doesn’t already have a topic for it.
From time to time, some comments from other posts will be moved here as well, especially when they go so far off topic and it sort of becomes a new topic (like the Caddy on the sidewalk turning into bicycles and scooters.)
All the commenters who dislike one another, try to keep your fights here. It’d be much easier for the crowd to follow along if they’re in one easy-to-swallow pill. Of course, there’s the alternative, which is getting along and meeting out for a drink. But how ridiculous is that?
Enjoy, and don’t forget to vote next week!

Can anyone recommend a tree doctor? A friend of mine from Jersey City suggested Family Tree, but they were supposed to show up at 4pm and it is now 5:35 with no show and no call. I called them at 4:25 to ask for “the status of the appointment” for 4:00 and still no word. This after they called me at 10:30pm the other night in order to set up the appointment.
Someone who calls at reasonable hours, shows up for the appointment, and knows what they’re doing would be wonderful.

NY waterway doesn’t go to Pier 11 on Saturday? How does that make any sense?
My lady friend and i decided to take the ferry for the first time last Friday to South Street and really enjoyed it. Surprised me that there is NO service at all on weekends.

If you live near 5th & Adams have you noticed the crowds of kids on the corners?
I’ve called the cops twice in the last week. Usually i come out in the morning to a few beers on the ground. Why does it keep happening? Am i the only one being bothered by this?

Howdy neighbor,
If I spent more time in my living room instead of the finished basement or bedroom, I might notice, but from the rest of the house I really can’t hear them.

It looks like they are legally clear until 11:59pm (89-9 c). If they live in the applied building there, they can be out as long as they want (89-10 c).
§ 89-9. Curfew for juveniles.
It shall be unlawful for any person under eighteen (18) years of age to be on or remain in or upon the public streets and public places within the City of Hoboken during the period ending at 5:00 a.m. and beginning
A. At 11:59 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights from September 15, through June 15.
B. At 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday nights from September 15 through June 15.
C. At 11:59 p.m. all nights from June 15 through September 15.
§ 89-10. Exceptions.
In the following exceptional cases a minor who remains in or upon a public street or public place during the hours specified in Section 89-9 above, minors, their parents and their fellow-citizens shall not, however, be considered in violation of the Curfew Ordinance:
A. When accompanied by a parent or legal guardian of such minor.
B. When accompanied by an adult authorized in writing by a parent or legal guardian of such minor to take said parent’s place in accompanying said minor for a designated period of time and purpose within a specified area.
C. When the juvenile is on the sidewalk or property where the juvenile permanently resides.
D. When going to, without making any detour or stop and within one (1) hour prior to the commencement of an official extracurricular school activity or other official cultural, educational, recreational, sporting or social event sponsored by a school, by the city, or by a religious, civic, voluntary or other community-based association, and supervised by adults of which prior notice by the organization or entity sponsoring the event, indicating the place and probable time of termination, has been given in writing, to and duly filed for immediate reference by the Chief of Police or officer assigned by the Chief on duty at the police station.
E. When returning home from without making any detour or stop after the termination of any activity whether sponsored by a school, by the city, or by a religious, civic, voluntary or other community-based association and including all private activities within one-half (1/2) hour after the termination of such activity so long as the juvenile has in his or her possession written permission from their parent or legal guardian.
F. When authorized, by special permit from the Chief of Police or the officer designated by the Chief for that purpose, carried on the person of the juvenile thus authorized, which may be issued only when necessary nighttime activities of a juvenile are required but are not otherwise addressed by any provision of this Article. When the Chief of Police or his designee shall determine that the necessary nighttime activities of a juvenile warrant, a special permit for the event may be granted upon written application of the juvenile’s parent or legal guardian and signed by the juvenile specifying the following and filed with the department: 1) the name, address, and telephone number of a parent or legal guardian of the juvenile, 2) the height, weight, sex, color of eyes and hair and other physical characteristics of the juvenile, 3) the necessity which requires the juvenile to remain upon the public streets or places during the curfew hours otherwise applicable, and 4) the street or route and destination as well as the beginning and ending of the period of time involved by date and hour. In an emergency, as defined by this Article, this application may be made by telephone or in person, with a corresponding written record being made contemporaneously to the Chief of Police or his designee at the police station.
G. When authorized, by regulation issued by the Chief of Police, to respond to cases of reasonable necessity adapted to necessary night-time activities of more juveniles than can readily be dealt with on an individual special permit basis. Normally such regulation by the Chief of Police permitting use of the public place should be issued sufficiently in advance to permit appropriate publicity through news media and through other agencies such as the schools, and shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the public streets or places permitted, the period of time involved not to extend more than one (1) hour beyond the time for termination of the activity, and the reason for finding that the regulation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with the purposes of this Article.
H. When the juvenile carries a certified card of employment dated or reissued not more than forty-five (45) days previously, signed by the juvenile’s employer and the Chief of Police identifying the juvenile, the address of his home and of his place of employment, and his hours of employment.
I. On an errand at the direction of the minor’s parent or guardian, without making any detour or stop for the purpose of responding to a medical problem or emergency.
J. In a motor vehicle involved in interstate travel not originating in the city.
K. Involved in an emergency as defined in Section 89-8 of this Article.
L. Married or had been married or had disabilities of minority removed in accordance with law.
M. When engaging in an activity protected by the First Amendment so long as the Chief or his designee receive prior written notice in advance of such activity and the juvenile has the written permission of his or her parent or legal guardian in his or her possession at the time the activity is engaged in.

Well, at least they stopped with the fireworks, you have me to thank for that. I don’t care if they hang out there - just keep it quiet and NO FIREWORKS.
Why not just go out and ask them to keep it down? Worked for me.
