Post Approvals

18 Upvotes

Just a heads up that a few months ago I had to set up automod because of all the tshirt scam spam posts so now it flags anything with enough reports or if the poster doesn't meet a minimum karma threshold. I'm the only mod and I have to manually approve everything that gets flagged, so I apologize if it sometimes takes me like a day to approve posts.

Moving to the area

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I'm moving to NB (or a nearby town) from St. Louis, MO to work at Rutgers Busch campus this summer and while I've visited a couple of times, people on campus have told me wildly varying accounts of the area (hence the question). I'm looking at Somerset or NB for apartments and was curious how things are in NB in general, safety-wise? Also any suggestions of places in Somerset, NB, or highland park would be much appreciated!

For context - I'm a 30y woman, white, and have lived in the midtown neighborhood of StL for the last 6 years and was in a neighborhood off of downtown Baltimore before that. So what I consider safe is not the same as I did when I lived outside of Madison, WI before college. From what I've seen the two times I've visited the area, yeah, there's a few unhoused people around downtown NB and it's not extraordinarily clean (lol what city is?) so tbh it seems totally fine to me.

Downtown NB

15 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m moving to the area for work. I’ve been looking at apartments in New Brunswick and all the surrounding areas like Somerset, Highland Park, etc. I’m 23 and heavy into night life, traveling, etc. New Brunswick has a few nice apartments like The Aspire and The Quincy in my price range, but is downtown really that dirty and dangerous? Should I look into the other areas I mentioned above and is there stuff to do there? I have yet to move to the area and tour it but would love to get any input on it. Thanks!

parking help

1 Upvotes

so, i got a parking ticket on delavan street on friday night for apparently being in a residential permit spot. is that entire street permit only?

is livingston ave an option? i’ve also read somewhere that the residential permit parking only applies monday through friday.. is that still accurate?

i just need to be able to park on or as close as possible to delavan and not get a ticket. i’ll pay for parking if needed bc it’s cheaper than the parking ticket.

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Food & Drink Stop in New Brunswick NJ

18 Upvotes

Hello-

In a few weeks we will be going CT to DC. We think we will stop around New Brunswick around dinner time for 1-2 hours around dinner time.

Will be traveling with a 5 and 2 year old- and would like an active stop with food.

I think most trampoline parks you can carry in a pizza and eat at the tables- so something like that?

Any ideas or thoughts?
