Ridgewood NJ, recent walk through of the Schedler Property reveled  electrical wiring issues at the home. It appears someone is trying to sabotage the property , perhaps burn it down as has been suggested from some corners the Village.

“As a license electrician looking at what they have there… I can assure you there is no sabotage other than bubble covers missing from 2 of the boxes. It apears 1 fell off and the 2nd one has a broken plastic hinge from the picture. There is no overload there at all there are nine circuits of which eight are visible… each twelve and fourteen gauge chord has its own circuit. This is above and beyond the rules of the NEC..” JN

New Brunswick NJ, overnight, officials with three unions representing thousands of Rutgers University teachers called for their members to return to work five days after launching a historic strike effort. The strike took effect on the morning of April 10, shutting down classes in New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark, and Camden, and leading to mass protest actions across the campus, in the state capital, and outside the homes of some Rutgers board members. It marked the first time that professors have taken unified action to withhold their labor at the state university, which dates back to 1766, when it was founded as a private, religious educational institution.

Palisades Park (NJ) Voted As The 38th Least Desirable Place To Live In America (on a $100k salary)

JPMorgan Chase Bank Branch Locations Bank Address 761320
  • Engelwood Cliffs and Mountainside also included.
  • Palm Beach the least desirable city in America when earning $100k.
  • Infographic showing the 150 least desirable cities to live in.

Palisade Park NJ, an annual salary of $100,000 sounds like quite a lot of money, particularly when the average US salary is $53,490 per year. However, it is relative depending on your purchasing power. While San Francisco, for example, offers its residents a thriving arts & culture scene, glorious climate, an outdoor lifestyle, and world class restaurants, living in this California city comes with a significant price tag. Typical rents exceed $4,500, the average price of homes is $1.3 million, and to live comfortably, it is said you would need to earn $230k.
