This time at 327 Monroe (apt# withheld). Beaten and choked. What’s up with the west side of town?

Apparently she didn’t want to press charges on her “man”. She gathered her stuff and the police gave her a ride to her home.

Sounded pretty bad. Ambulance needed in a hurry. Big crowd gathered. They love that stuff for some reason. Like a live showing of “Cops”. 655 6th. St.

That’s a block from the new Velocity buliding. I’d love to have that near my new $600k condo. Lovely.

Appears some water issues downtown.. Somewhere in the area near Observer and Madison Monroe.. water gushing out of manhole.. dirty water too.. United Water has been summoned to address the problem.

Anyone who lives in the area notice anything in your plumbing?

7/31 2:10am Update: Police report the street is beginning to collapse and a very unsafe condition is getting worse.

210 Wash. Deliquents trying to steal a bike. Right on the main drag too! What balls!

What was going on in the last two weeks?

• The Automated Parking Garage Debacle
  is by far causing the most controversy in Hoboken at the moment
• The proposed new five-screen movie theater
  Makes a lot of people an-gry. Especially if they live near there
• NJ Transit’s massive 65 acre redevelopment plans
  Seems to cause quite a flush with residents.
• The annual St. Ann’s Festival
  Zeppoles, complaints and cheap beer
• Something about St. Mary
  Doesn’t seem right with the new CEO and President, Harvery Holzberg
• The new Shades of Hoboken restaurant
  Opening delayed until August 1st
• A few reviews / updates:
  - Carpe Diem - New Irish bar for Hoboken (uptown)
  - Pita Grill (Is it worth it?)

I suppose when people buy $299 PC’s from Dell, they have no need for a $2,000 “custom” PC from a no-name company.
I also heard somewhere that they have some people’s computers still and they can’t get them back.

Doomed.

Hoboken stab arrest made quickly
Thursday, July 27, 2006

HOBOKEN - A man was arrested Tuesday night after a pedestrian was stabbed during a quarrel at 14th Street and Shipyard Lane, said Sgt. Mike Costello.

According to reports, a couple was walking in the area just after 8 p.m. when a Lincoln Navigator turned the corner.

The male pedestrian - who claimed that the SUV almost ran the couple down - banged on the truck as it passed.

The SUV stopped and the pedestrian walked over and exchanged words with the driver, who then pulled out an 8-inch hunting knife and stabbed the man in the chest, Costello said.

The SUV’s owner, Brian Riccioni, 36, of Independence Court, was arrested at his home on assault and weapons charges, Costello said.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where he received 10 stitches and was released that same day, Costello said.
