Hoboken Police suggest common sense

As a friendly reminder, the Hoboken Police Department Community Policing Bureau walked around town today, identifying cars that are “soft targets” to petty criminals.

As a result, those cars that met any of the criteria listed on the card below received this “important public information message” on their windshields.

Luckily, my car didn’t get one, because “empty coffee cups, dust and gum wrappers” wasn’t on the list.

    Hoboken411 reader nacholibre snapped a quick cell phone pic of the entrance of the Clinton Street CVS – advising me that the Hoboken411 Mascot Oscar was not allowed inside. Not that it matters, I don’t really like that CVS anyway.

    Bloom Spa finally opens

    We were tracking the transition from Fowad to Bloom Spa in a previous thread – this is the minty fresh entry for the new full-service Spa!

    This is how it looked shortly before they opened…

    The other side of the coin

    While many Obama supporters are excited and hopeful that the trillions of dollars of freshly minted cash will revitalize the world – Economic “specialist” Peter Schiff feels otherwise.

    Schiff thinks these measures go against a basic understanding of economics, and even though Obama said credit was the “life blood” of our economy, he feels it’s more like a “cancer.”

    See the cheap home made video below (a bit blurry w/ loud sound) but you’ll get the point.

    Is Schiff wrong, right, or somewhere in between?

    The website WuzzaDem had this to say:
    “Payroll, like rent and utilities, is the most basic of business expenses. If a company is not making enough money to meet its payroll obligations, that company isn’t fit for business. A company that borrows money to make its payroll is akin to a homeowner taking out a home equity loan to buy groceries. Both are operating/living beyond their means.

    With the exception of a rare and unforeseeable emergency, which business owners are confident they can weather, there are really no legitimate reasons for any company to borrow money in order to make their payroll.

    How long have we been living in this fool’s paradise? Since at least 2001, which would explain how we seemed to survive – with relatively few adverse effects – the economic downturn after the Internet bubble burst in 2000. Not only do we continue to kick this can down a dead-end street, but we are expected to be hopeful about the destination. By all means. Let’s sacrifice free-market capitalism – the economic equivalent of democracy – so we can reward failure and indulge our insatiable appetite for stuff, even if it means that our economy collapses and, subsequently, we all become wards of the state.”

    Hoboken411.com is proof that with hard work, dedication and genuine passion, a successful online business is entirely possible. (Well in my case, I’ve created a giant!)

    But Hoboken resident Annetta Zaltzberg started an online gift shop last year, and wants to tell you all about it!

    Online Hoboken business: Annjoy

    annjoy-hoboken.jpg“My name is Annetta, and I’m relatively new in Hoboken (about 7 months now). I’ve launched my new website just before the holidays. My business is based in Hoboken, (but I don’t have an actual store-front). I invite you to visit my website with the sweet, functional and unique gifts I offer for all-occasions.

    www.annjoy.com

    I’ve also participated for the first time in a fair right here in Hoboken. You’re probably familiar with the Hoboken Crafts Fair (which was a really nice experience for me).

    As a new small business I’m trying to do my best so that people would get to know my work. I’ve heard from many people in Hoboken about your website. My husband visits your website frequently, and he was one of many people who suggested that I will contact you for possible assistance.

    I hope you’ll like my work, if there’s a chance you can introduce my work on your website that would be great. Please let me know if you need more information.

    Have a sweet day,
    Annetta Zaltzberg

    BTW, I offer FREE shipping in Hoboken.”
