Well, talking about the shopping center, I once had to meet someone in one of the offices in top of the shopping center, I live in BP and before leaving I wanted to know which address to put into wayz, so i called up that guys office and the KJ girl picks up the phone and I ask her what's the address of the office? And she is like we are on top of the shopping center, I was like ummm not everyone from the whole world knows where the KJ shopping center is" she was totally lost and shocked... Took a while for her to chap that not everything ends by the KJ shopping center, was funny...

Stbaum, you chap what I mean right.. I bet that you would handle the phone call exactly the same so don't say that no one could see you are from KJ ;)

“Many people have complained about Kiryas Joel voters having too much of a say in the Town of Monroe," Kiryas Joel Administrator Gedalye Szegedin said in the press release. "We agree with the many people who have suggested over the years that creating two separate towns is the most practical way to alleviate that concern. We firmly believe that this is an important step in the healing process for these two communities.”

DW had to be in KJ for a day last week, so I was there for a couple of hours.

When I needed to daven Mincha, I went into a Beis Medrash where I had just parked. I was amazed by the fact that I had to search high and low for a צדקה פושקע where I could give some צדקה before mincha. I don't recall ever Davening in a place where there was no פושקע either on the wall near the entrance, or on the bima (and in many places someone goes around with that one during חזרת הש״ץ. After walking out, I realized that there were also no beggars, משולחים, or anyone asking for צדקה. The situation struck me as so unusual, that I decided to inquire. Going out of shul I asked two young men about this. Their response was that there might be a lot of קלעבעדיקע הענט. To which I responded חס ושלום, can't think of yidden like that.

The next day I called up a friend who lives in KJ, and usually calls me for help finding parking in Crown Heights during simchas Beis Hashoaiva to inquire. When I described to him the location, his response was דארטן גיי איך ניט אריין, so he doesn't know anything about it. Does this all boil down to politics/fights? Is it that bad that a shul can't have pushkas for people to easily give tzedoko before Davening?

Otherwise, I must say that the place is amazing. Might even consider moving there if I would have the type of chinuch I would want for my kids 😀.

I wish some KJ locals would post on the Pros and cons of where you live.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
