The Concord Hotel was a lavish hotel that had existed for over 60 years until it closed down in the 1990’s, publicly due to mismanagement and bankruptcy. But like with most mismanagement, the detailed story was even more embarrassing. The Concord Hotel had key tags on all its 1500 room keys. On one side of each tag was the specific room number. But on the other side was the worst blunder a hotel could ever make: putting the address of the hotel on the key tags to “guarantee postage”. This “guarantee” was only under the premise that people would even take the time to throw the keys in a mailbox, which was as rare as it was expected. Back then, most guests didn’t return their keys. Instead, they’d either lose them, give them away to other people, or just throw them in the garbage, instead of throwing in a nearby mailbox as the hotel anticipated.… Read More »This is how lavish resorts like the Concord Hotel went out of business

I made an update on an article by a local woman concerning what turned out to be scam artists in the local train Station near me. I quote this woman saying the following: “Hello there is a family of Chinese people living at the train station for over a month now they had tried to rent an apartment, and they were scammed don’t know who knows who can help!” Along with this photo, the article initially got over 20 reactions plus many sympathetic comment replies. It turns out that this “family” is just a couple with someone else’s kids, who fortunately are now back with their rightful parents.  The couple themselves are Korean, not Chinese, and they live in a neighboring municipality. More of this at The only scam was that of the couple telling a story, and they speak good English, as contrary to what was told. I ran into the couple at an… Read More »Don’t let your town become a dump by naïve residents contributing to crime

The price for the Transgender Movement has been fiscally very costly, and all in the name of pretending to be people that they’re not. All the supplies and maintenance for men’s and women’s rooms is waste. Aside from taxes, I have to pay for this through higher prices in the private businesses I patronize because fools endorse and force others to endorse all this nonsense. While it’s a fact that nobody can be a gender other than what they were born. It’s silly to stock offices and bathrooms with excess toilet paper as for maxi pads or tampons, or stock men’s rooms with maxi pads or tampons. What could those men “identifying” as women possibly do with maxi pads or tampons. Only surgeons, pharmaceutical companies and companies making women’s products profit from all this waste. Everyone else loses. The federal government enforces it, and they only lose money also. This is also causing a lot… Read More »The price for the Transgender Movements

In my 30 years living New Jersey and half-century alive altogether, I’ve seen my share of tire blowouts. (Over 4 dozen on my street alone). I saw one last week. While it doesn’t directly affect me, I come upon people who park their vehicle (as shown in these pics). People never consider the fact that they tear rubber from their tires each time they park this way. Picture the disaster arising from blowouts due to rubbing tires along curbs when parking, such as “accidents” resulting in injury, damage and expense to you and/or others. There are sensible ways to park without a vehicle sticking out in the street and not tearing its tires upon curbs. Excuses? Okay, then go ahead and take a risk. It’s much easier to face the consequences of an avoidable problem later rather than to take simple precautions. And since I had written this passage, the practices of drivers parking vehicles… Read More »A Rubber Tire is No Match for a Concrete Curb

Oh, my goodness. It’s 90 degrees & surrounding towns so everyone struggles to stay cool & safe.Come on, really now. All this means is that people can have the common sense to drink lots of liquids (especially water), run the fan on themselves a lot and shower each day, if not twice daily. All this so that the AC can be used for only a few hours a week at best. But NO, they will resort to running and blasting the AC until the next brown-out in their area and the brown out after that, and so on, and so on. Many will smoke their cigarettes or pot, eat salty foods, drink lots of liquor and wear a lot of perfume or cologne. They will avoid remorse by saying “it’s my body, not yours”. Then they will all complain about the electric bill later. There will be those times when there is something to complain… Read More »Common Sense with AC
