CSP need no new areas with playground equipment. The older equipment does have to be brought up to code and ensured that it is safe.

I'm all for ripping out the southern most section, which is the most damaged (rotten wooden planks), and putting in grass. Just update the center section with something that is multi-focused, so it can be used by old and young.

Insurance is one reason children's scouting organizations have dues and annual fees, to help cover the insurance the organization has. Having that insurance is helpful so that you can use places that require insurance.

Claiming that having an unemployed partner would make it more difficult for Mr. Mello to do his job is insulting.

If his wife is more available to help with the children, that would free Mr. Mello up to work.

I meet a young woman (high school girl) whose school has an Anime club. One day a month the kids in the club dress up (with the school's permission). This has resulted in some bullying. I love what the school has instituted.

First time bullied. Ask them to stop nicely.
Second time bullied (by the same person). Ask them to stop rudely.
Third time, report it to an authority figure.
Fourth time, you can hit your bully.

It resonates with me. If i was the victim of Mr. Calicchio (and associates), I would try something like that, though at third attempt the authorities might be the county sheriff, I don't completely trust the Hoboken Police to do anything about this crowd. Definately start the ball rolling on a restraining order. After that, I would not hesitate to protecting myself. I still have a front snap kick that could break boards (my spinning and jumping kicks are way too rusty). A front snap kick is great for below the belt targets.

First OPRA Beth's OPRA. Then OPRA the exact same thing. Then if the city says no you can say you would sue, and most likely win, because there is case law, because Beth won.

The voters that reached out to her will remember she didn't respond.

It is never good to take people for granted.

What is Jackie Torso's relationship with Frank Torso?

I just remember my little one looking out the window and saying, "Green Green, Same Same" over and over.

Is it just me or what?

My perception is that the wandering drunk crowd was out earlier and was further west last year than years past.

I had not even gotten to your post. I could tell the tone was in jest. If not a very good jest.
