Snowboken Photos!

Here are some photos from Washington Street in Hoboken during yesterday's winter storm. This is perhaps Hoboken's second biggest snow job in 2010 besides the claim that 4th ward vote buyer Tim Occhipinti is indeed independent. Expect Hoboken 411 to blame Dawn Zimmer for the snow.

The streets are a mess, I don't blame the Mayor for the snow, but e many many people are blaming her incompetence for the horribly mismanaged snow removal job that was done. Really nothing to do with politics, the fact is Hoboken is being run by amateurs, it's sad, it's true and it's a shame.

Yeah Zimmer is awful. Why can't she make 2 Plus feet of snow disappear instantly into thin air??? I mean I'm sure thats what happened in Hoboken during the Blizzard of 96. Mayor Russo would have made the snow drift into the river by controling the wind. Why can't Zimmer??? I mean the side streets of Hoboken are huge!! You could drive 4 mack trucks with plows side by side up and down the east/west streets under Mayor Roberts. Why can't Zimmer? God she is the worst. First she was responsible for The BP disaster, the Haitian quake and now this.

Notsoloyal, you are in fact very Loyal. Russo was a corrupt mayor, but many of his loyal minions simply didn't care about the reality of his corruption. From the sarcastic tone of your comment it is clear that as one of Zimmer's loyal minions, you simply don't care about the reality of her incompetence. The funny part of course is that you share more in common with Russo's loyal henchman than you do with the idealistic projection of yourself as an angel of reform. Zimmer is not a bad person at all, she just is not capable of running an urban city like Hoboken. People with your mindset, including the owner of this site betray their own demons by their extreme anger "at the other side" A great example of this is the strident homophobic macho man who hates gay people, while of course harboring and repressing his own gay nature. Another great example is how the owner of this site uses the occasion of the biggest snow storm in Hoboken's history as a metaphor for the corruption of the Russos, Hoboken411 and the Occhipinti campaign. It really is hilarious. The more Reformerus_Gianticus rails against Lane Bijardi and Mason the more he becomes exactly like who he hates. But I do enjoy reading this site as well as Hoboken411. At least these two men are in the arena, not hiding away and we as a City are the better for their extreme position, since the truth clearly lies somewhere in the middle. ps and before you go all ad hominem against me, I acknowledge the fact that I am just another f'ed up person trying to get buy, but that is not the point.

You're joking about the snow removal, right? Rmember way back when, we used to wait for the thaw to get our cars out.

"Notsoloyal" is a tribute to Matt Callichio, who turned on Frank Raia, and insulted him all over town during the mayoral one time runoff after that man did so much for the kid.

Also, there are plenty of things about the Mayor II don't like. I do feel though that a lot of people's expectations for removal of 2 feet of snow in under 24 hours in Hoboken are way out of whack. And people who pretend that other towns aren't having the same issues are lying through their teeth. Also it bothers me to see people and sites using any little thing to somehow try to discredit the mayor for their own agenda.

Part 2

The city asked people to remove their cars from the emergency routes early Sunday. Whether it was cause of Christmas, the weekend or whatever that did not happen. The second that one flake came down the city should have been towing those routes and making it clear not to park there. The city should have also been alerting people sooner. The storm had plenty of warning.

All that being said, it was 2 feet of snow. Quite a bit for our tight streets to handle. There is no good place for that snow to go. And for people to expect that it all disappear within 24 hours is sheer lunacy.

I'm ready to put you on the payroll. You are doing a good job at undermining my arch foe and the Zimmertinis.
The hospital may get sold soon and I am working hard to get the hospital financial records. If the hospital gets sold, all my hard work will be for naught.

Okay, go see Mikie Squared at Church Towers or my minion for further instructions.

That would be the most amazing scene to see the snow falling so fast that it could take you down. Getting out of home in this condition wouldn’t be a good idea for sure.
