Hoboken contracts with Axon

A reminder for this community that Hoboken signed a half million dollar+ contracts last fall with Axon Enterprises for ALPRs (license plate readers) and drones and surveillance vehicles.

Came across this reddit thread that I wanted to share:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurveillance/s/D765gG0rLT

You can also look into Skydio drones and see where they have been tested for use before being sold to police departments and militaries across the world.

I would also love to organize a community meeting to discuss these and build some solidarity about approaching the city. Open to thoughts.

I never presume to be safe from surveillance (hi Im using an iPhone) but I do believe we should be knowledgeable and do what we can to prevent insane overreach.

Hudson County Rehabilitation Center

Sign to help save our Hudson County wildlife by petitioning to establish a rehabilitation center within our county. The closest facility exists 1hr+ away, resulting in our emergency services handling specialized wildlife calls without having any humane structured services for them to go to.

Looking for any Camping Recs

Looking for a free camping spot that’s open tonight through tomorrow morning, where we can walk in without a reservation, set up a tent, and legally have a campfire. Please only suggest places where overnight camping, walk-ins, and fires are actually allowed.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Appreciation for Joey No Nuts

Low-key or maybe not so much low-key but great coffee! and an iced coffee (medium) is $4 which in a land of seven dollar coffees feels like a steal! For those that want an alternative to dirty Dunkin’ 😩

Gettin choppy

The copters have been RELENTLESS this week. Low flying, loud and coming from all angles. Its been wild. As long time resident, I haven't seen this or anything like it before. What is the latest on the work that the council/mayor were going to address it? I haven't seen or heard any movement to fix this. Its like Baghdad. WTF.

Anyone have any updates or where to go for news on this?

Anyone have an appliance delivered that required walking up a few stories? Can purchase the appliance from home depot, lowes, best-buy or costco and trying to figure out if I should avoid any one of those. Do not want any surprises. Thanks
Edit: Major not manor

Sudden renovations at an apartment building in Hoboken?

My daughter just recently moved into a managed apartment building on the Hoboken water-front.

We got a series of emails with no prior notice for exterior work starting within 3 days.
They say that her balcony will be locked and inaccessible for the foreseeable future and stated 8 weeks for façade work which is frustrating but understandable.

In a following email they mention local law mandated repairs and that construction in the courtyard outside her window will continue until May 2027.

Does anyone know what the story is about?
Can someone with more details help me understand why renovations for "improvements to planters, new greenery and additional seating areas" would take 9 months and be scheduled last-minute?

Thank you.

Roaches outside Sugared & Bronzed?

Just walked past Sugared & Bronzed 15 minutes ago and noticed a large number (maybe 30 or so?) of flying roaches swarming their storefront. One even flew at me and landed on me, which is why I didn’t get a pic (I ran). Anyone know why the heck they would do that? I walked Washington from 10th to the Path and that was the only storefront I noticed experiencing such a thing.

To be clear I’m not bashing the business, I actually only noticed because I was interested in them. I only saw them on the OUTSIDE of the building. I’m just more curious why the heck this would occur?

Is it normal for people ti put their trash in your trash cans?

Hi all, visiting from London for a week staying in an Airbnb. I’ve noticed quite a few people walking by will dump their trash in our trash cans.. is this normal in Hoboken / NJ / US? Or are they just aware that it’s an Airbnb?
I can’t say it never happens in the UK but it would be done a lot more subtly and there’d definitely be strong words exchanged if the perpetrator got caught
