KearnyGuy26 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I think Kearny is a terrific town, I personally feel as safe as can be here. Can it be better? Absolutely!!!! Is it getting better? I definetely think so, in the past 5 or so years I've seen Kearny go from a very "outdated looking town" to a town that has put some serious effort into modernizing (cleaning up) it's act. I just hope the extremely high taxes that were paying are being put to good use, and so far I've seen an improvement and hope it continues going forward. Barbara, See, there are some things we agree on. Kearny IS a great place to live and it always has been because of its people - people who care about each other (as you've described) and people who care enough to try to make it a better place (that would include people like you, and me).

The flower pots in the middle of the sidewalk? The horribly colored sidewalks themselves? The blackhole of tax dollars, the BOE? The Barrio...I mean Kearny Ave.?, Shop-rite parking lot where you need security guards to make it from the store to your car? The brand new 60 foot mountain of garbage, I mean asbestos free debris?, etc.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Curious Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Please don't wet yourself while you're LOL. You have a strange sense of humor for someone who's living amongst such squalor. If you can't see new sidewalks as an improvement, that's your business. However, I shop at Shop-Rite every week. I have never had any problems whatsoever. I know many people roll their eyes when I tell them I shop there, and everyone has a choice, right? Just don't say you can't shop there because it's dangerous, or you need "security guards to make it from the store to your car". That's baloney. You're a very negative person. Perhaps counseling would help. Which improvements? The flower pots in the middle of the sidewalk? The horribly colored sidewalks themselves? The blackhole of tax dollars, the BOE?

Guest Hickory St. Resident Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 You're being slightly more reasonable now. Maybe the people who post about the flooding and sewage problems would have a different take on things. Or are they just lying? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I live on Hickory St. Two blocks away from the homes that do flood with raw sewage. And I must tell you its uncalled for to state that these people are lying.Residents on Hickory and Ivy St. have seen the KFD at these homes. When the weather is severe take a ride over this neck of the woods. Its a sin that residents have been living with sewage entering their homes for a long time now.Leaders of this TOWN should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!!My husband and I knocked on doors to ask if they needed help in the summer of 2003 and 2004. I love this TOWN not the LEADERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Saturday was a busy and emotional day in town. Baby Cecilia was laid to rest at a Mass concelebrated in a packed St. Cecilia's Church. People who never knew this little girl, wept and prayed for her and her family. Although the circumstances were tragic, it was heartwarming to see so many mourners gather for her farewell.It was ironic that the next scheduled event was the opening of Little League. In a Norman Rockwell setting, scores of lively kids anxiously approached the beginning of a new season as parents and grandparents looked on with pride. Later in the evening, I attended the VFW Awards Night where Policeman, Firefighter and Teachers of the Year and student essayists were honored. The day ended with a fundraiser sponsored by several residents to aid a local family experiencing some hardships following the untimely death of their mother. Many people lent their talents and hard work to make it a huge success; and even though the event was born out of a catastrophe, it brought so many different factions toghether in a cordial atmosphere. Kearny people rock! Remind me again why Kearny is such a terrible place to live. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Barbara, Kearny is a great Town but Kearny people rock???? You are watching the 70s show too much. Its 2005 its time you retire. Schulyer Ave. looks like a ghetto I guess you do not walk there. Its worse over the years speeding trucks with garbage falling out holes, in the street .

shut_up_already Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 It so great that the Mayor is paving Belgrove Drive in front of two voting districts with the largest turnout in the 1st Ward during Election Day. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if you ever bother to go down there but that area of the road, especially between Washington School & The Grant apartments desperately needed repaving for years. I'm sure people love to find ulterior motives for improvements but it seems to me the town is just getting around to fixing the things that need fixing.

Kearny people rock! Remind me again why Kearny is such a terrible place to live. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mrs Sherry With all due respect to you. As a councilwoman what do people expect you to say about Kearny. That it is unsafe etc. Kearny is going downhill fast, People have no choice but to move, If they can! I will move soon, Kearny is a sewer. Many people feel that way. If you so intrested in the quality of life, Why not do something instead of keeping a chair warm in town hall. Someone posted employees drunk at the dept of public works, Why not start there, Or are you going to say there is no problem, Or the problems in S Kearny.
