Englewood, NJ can't dig out


A day after a late winter snow storm hit the Northeast, Englewood, New Jersey can't seem to be able to clean its streets.  A drive down Grand Avenue, one of the main thru fares of the town, cars are seen sliding along the dangerous road.  There are no police officers or town workers to be seen anywhere to monitor the problem.  And in case you were wondering, yes, residents of this Bergen County community are amongst the highest paying property tax residents in the state.  SHAME on the Englewood administration.  SHAME ON YOU.

NJ Transit Buses

New Jersey Transit is always complaining how the jitney bus drivers drive, but never take a look at the deficiencies of their own omnibus operators.  Here's a perfect example of how rude and reckless some of these drivers can be.  On a regular morning two NJ Transit buses are seen blocking an intersection while motorists sit in their cars hopelessly waiting to go.  NJ Transit should be ashamed of themselves.  We'll follow up on this story in the future.

Business is a BAD Neighbor

Super Supermarket with the slogan "The Best Store In Town" located at 5208 Palisade Avenue in West New York, New Jersey is actually a DISGRACE of a business and we label it "A BAD NEIGHBOR".

The place routinely litters the WNY and the surrounding towns with their circulars.  On any give weekend, their garbage is all over the sidewalks and streets of approximately five towns.  Terrible.

We've called West New York Town Hall to see if any summonses have been issued, and they say they do not know.  You may call Mayor Felix Roque's Office to complain at:  201-295-5100 or call the supermarket directly at 201-864-5162 and let them know they are BAD NEIGHBORS.
