I have a question about a bungalow on 1st Ave, near Kingsley. This property has been horribly maintained for at least as long as I've lived in AP. The only activity I see there is the owner stopping by to feed the family of feral cats and kittens that live there. It's both a health hazard and

Jack I don't think the SPCA will do much until you see a dead animal on the property. Since the owner is providing food and shelter to these cats, they are not technically feral. If you do see one who seems dead or close to it, you could call the police for animal neglect/abuse That house

Actually, the SPCA sent out a vehicle and they picked up the sick cat. This was about 2 years ago. As for the house, I don't understand how the owner gets away with leaving it in that condition. When a few cracks developed on my sidewalk last year, code inforcement contacted my landlord and he

J. Edgar was a stone racist! I can't name my source but I heard that he had black blood, which is why he was so hateful, in addition to privately wearing women's clothing. It's presumptuous to speak about what if's. Malcolm X spoke about using the gun to getting our freedom, by any means

There's housing, ready to move in, left by the military of Ft. Monmouth. It's going to waste, now that everything moved to MD. It would house thousands, right off Hope Rd. in Eatontown. It's unbelievable what problems this would solve if AP residents, the disabled and retired military could just

Actually, most of that housing is rotting away. There's mold everywhere. I grew up in Eatoncrest apts. which is surrounded by that development. It's been fenced in for years, and is currently home to a herd of deer. Right around the corner at the Ft. Monmouth golf course, there were acres of

At very least, the city should do a survey of it's street lighting and find out what's working, and what's not. The block on Bergh where the carjacking took place has non-working lights, and several of us have called JCPL, but so far, they remain out. On the other hand, this weekend I saw foot

Thanks Jim. I've been up late the past two weeks ever since that kid that got carjacked. I usually stop in to say hi to my kids when they are working. But the real reason is - I go down to check out what's happening in the immediate area. They work late. Then my daughter goes out in AP. They
