Deeper into the Hub City: A Tour with Bill Bray – Ben Kharakh
In his last piece, Ben Kharakh took a tour of New Brunswick with Charlie Kratovil, local political activist, to get an inside view of the Hub City. This week, Ben took the time to tour the city with Bill Bray, City Spokesman to incumbent Mayor Jim Cahill, in order to get the other side of the story. Bill spoke of his time in New Brunswick and some of the city’s positions on low income housing the “swing space” school on Jersey Avenue, and initiatives to combat littering.
School or Warehouse? – Ben Kharakh
Some people call Rutgers “Slutgers”. I don’t like that name because it perpetuates the stigmatization of female sexuality. If I wanted to, I’d call it “Notverygoodgers”, but I wouldn’t call it that either because I don’t really get angry. I’m like Bruce Banner, except my inner Hulk is also Bruce Banner.
I also can’t really tell you what I think of Rutgers because I transferred in the spring of ‘09 and I’ve been a commuter until recently. Being a commuter is like going to an all you can eat buffet and then eating more than your fill to get your money’s worth. You leave with a stomachache and realize that you haven’t gotten your money’s worth at all and that you should have just lived on campus. So, I put down my knife and fork and moved into a place half a mile from College Ave.
