The Future of Lakewood

[AsherO]

Are these actual cleaning ladies? I sure hope nobody is letting them into their homes. They'll get what they want, whether the homeowner knows or not. Never good to have a disgruntled employee but in one's own house....

That’s a terrible and unfair blanket condemnation.  Yes, no-one wants a disgruntled employee at any place of employment, but to suggest they’d steal if they don’t get paid…

$20 an hour!  Lol
They should go work for a regular company and find out how much taxes is and if they will even get anything more then minimum wage.

Very shady. Do they think protesting will get them a raise any more than asking for a raise?

Unmentioned is the idiocy of people crossing Rt 9 with kids to jump the divider.

I believe that is the point of the article. That it was totally justified to close down the distribution and that TLS is being reckless and stupid. I didn't hear of this thing, because I don't read TLS.

His focus is on those who vilified the police. The idiots who put their own and their children's lives in danger for a prize are the real ones who didn't use their brains.

Who still reads TLS?

People who don’t read yeshiva world, sorry, Lakewood alerts.

[YitzyS]

IMO, Lakewood Alerts in now the best website on Lakewood, with the most stories and the best info. And even though it's owned by Yeshiva World, the writer has more tact than the writer for the main YWN website.

I do still look at TLS, but generally only like once a week. Same with LNN.

(I have no connection to any of those websites, though I know the people who write for all three.)

ETA: Forgot to mention that Hefkervelt is on a different level, but it's not a replacement for these other websites. It is something that can be used to understand the backstory of the official news...

I also often look at this site: https://jooish.app/news/latest

I wish they would add Lakewood Alerts and LNN, but otherwise it's a good way to see everything.

Cute RSS reader, looks like a no-frills version of Google Reader tatza"l, but without the ability to choose which feeds are included.

Off topic, but Crown Heights has one of these too, with a way better name!

Ari Berkowitz (Voice/LNN) is even more firmly entrenched with developers than TLS.

This town is so, so corrupt.

If the two sites merged it could be called shtoosim

I think 5-year abatements are standard practice for anyone who asks for them.
