The Future of Lakewood

[shlomoandtam]

Is this “Jackson Mikva” they are planning on building, part of the same system as the New Hampshire and Madison one?

[joshjosh]

No.

I drove by there today and there is no way they could have done this there would be 10 accidents a day

A bit late to the discussion - The shoulder right now is just a tad too narrow for another lane - Take a bit off from the left turning lane mark the rest of the turning lane yellow etc. the shift would be minimal. Maybe you can even shift the other side too a bit to get them even better aligned.

Reddit is a cesspool. But this got me to ALOL

Your comment brought back a 20 year old memory. My mom had to commute from Howell to Toms River directly through the centre. At the time I was a bad adult and my mom heard I allegedly had a pharmaceutical connection.

This woman, straight laced since birth with a high skill job came to my door with $100 and said “I don’t want to know, I don’t care, I have to get through 3 more months until I retire and this drive is going to kill my nerves, get me however much Ativan this buys”

I did just that, I did as she asked. She made the commute and retired. We’ve never spoken of it again. She treats me like it never happened. I have no idea how it is there now but in 2008 she was terrified of station wagons.

Ouch. Hate to be the one to say this, but what on earth have we done to get to where we are? Based on the one or two other subreddits that I've visited, there seem to be an awful lot of upvotes on those comments. Scary number of views based on that...

Yes, Reddit is a cesspool, but extremely concerning nonetheless, IMHO.

Some would say eisav soneh lyaakov. Others wouldn't.

Any thread that mentions Orthodox Jews has nasty leftist comments with upvotes. Not exclusive to Lakewood.

there is a story I heard I think happened with D'R Rabbi JJ twersky

he was riding on the train and someone was poking fun of this orthodox jew on the train, he said oh well I'm Amish, so that guy apologized and explained himself that he was just confused, he accepted the apology and then asked so what's if I'm orthodox Jewish?

while I checked google for spelling this came up

thanks for great laugh.

Best was the comment that said driving in Lakewood is like playing Frogger, only with real cars, and real people. After driving back from maariv with the street a few feet too narrow to accommodate two way traffic and cars parked on both sides, trying to navigate oncoming traffic, while dodging over a dozen kids on segways, hoverboards, and scooters wantonly going the wrong way and weaving  in and around oncoming traffic, I have to say it a pretty spot on description.

The story supposedly happened with R’ Yisroel Rottenberg zt”l The Kossoner Rebbe who grew up in the Bronx and took the subway to Williamsburg to Torah V’daas every day

It was definitely Rabbi Dr. Twerski.

Sounds like the story with the wife bitting the esrog. Every time you hear it, It’s with someone else.

Why in the world do we have such an incompetent board? First they fight with Aaron Lang and besides for losing that one, they also lose this one.

It was definitely Rabbi Dr. Twerski's great-great-great-grandfather, Reb Nachum Chernobyler¹.

How do we know a family legend recounted 200 years later is “definitely” true?
