I thought that might be just a fluke, unfortunately on my return, I waited a half hour while I saw all the other companies came and go. Please don't use. They might be a few dollars cheaper but definitely the service is the worst I've ever experienced.

Lately, I've had many better experiences at The Bay Street Train Station. On Tuesdays and…read moreThursdays, I enjoy my walks from here to Plymouth Street and on my way back to the City it's a great place to just sit and relax even when it's really hot out. On rainy days it's been great to sit under the rooftop that's provided and there is a grassy area to hang out in as well until your train comes. It's nice to sit and read, listen to music, and play games on your phone until your train arrives. I don't dislike this train station as much as I did my first time around. I think it just left a bad first impression.

The Baird is the fourth "part" of Meadowlands park (See my review of Meadowlands park). The Baird…read moreis like the central hub for the park serving as the community center for not just the park, but really the town, handling pretty much all recreational affairs and park usage. For my job for example, if we wanted to use the field we had to select a time to reserve it for practice with whatever sport we'd be preparing for. I like this because it's organized and fair. The Baird is also where you purchase and renew your badge for the pool which convenient. The building hosts other things such a book drives and classes for kids but also houses the Pierro Gallery where many exhibits and events take place on the second floor and are too well organized. Surrounding the Baird are basketball courts and tennis courts making feel very much a part of Meadowlands park.

This is a great little train station! I commute from here every day to get to NYC or Hoboken. It…read morehas an indoor space that is fully heated and has two restrooms. There is also free WiFi and a TV showing the morning news. Unfortunately it is not usually open in the evening unless there is a special event. I believe you can rent the space out for various clubs and meetings as needed. They also have a space in the back for small concerts and/or big meals. The city of Glen Ridge also offers two jitneys that pickup/drop you off at the train and cover "south" or "north" neighborhoods. It runs from early morning til 8:20am and then again in the evening rush hour from 4 to 8pm. Costs $3 per ride or you can get a monthly or annual pass!

It's currently undergoing a huge renovation. Existing businesses are still open and operating. These include the Whole Foods, Verizon Store, Chipotle, Jersey Mikes, Frank's Pizza, America's Best Contacts and Glasses, myGym, dogtopia, and Mavis Tires. There is a lot of construction right now as parts of the shopping strip are being prepared for a Target anchor store, and a new traffic pattern is being carved out in the plaza lot where newly built free-standing store units will be strategically situated. The new plans will completely refresh the area and bring more activity to this part of town.

OPEN SATURDAYS!!! I…read moreneeded to send out a package via Priority Mail today. Luckily, this post office was open today. There is a shopping parking lot on Valley, where you can enter this US Post Office location from the back. Also there is a ramp if you need at the back. Heads up - This location is a small office with only one clerk on-site. Depending on the day, there could be a wait - but not due to inefficiency of the clerk(s), but the line based on how many customers are there. I haven't had to wait very long, but that could be because of the times I've stopped inside. It's in a convenient location if you're in the Valley and it's the local PO.

I was…read moregetting onto Garden State Parkway and I had a yield sign, and the cars to the left of me had the right of way, there was a van behind me beeping and beeping wanting me to go. I did not have the right away and I did not want to get into a car accident. Then the person cut me off getting onto the highway. I chased the school vehicle doing 85 miles an hour, and I could not catch it, the vehicle must have been doing at least 90 or 95 mph. I was only able to catch up to this vehicle because the people in front of the vehicle did not want to do 95 miles an hour, and I was able to get the lInformation off the van. It was a white Van # 100, and it said "School Vehicle" on the back, and on the passenger door it said "Speedy Mobility." License plate # S2 7286. Then the Van cut between cars and took off doing 90 or 95 mph again. If Love Your Children please find other transportation.
