About a month and a half ago the Atlanticville (a local Long Branch-area paper) ran an article about Eatontown’s decision to file a complaint against the state regarding the latest round of COAH regulations that were issued. This type of stuff makes me bang my head against the wall and wonder why any of […]

Did you know that I own two wrestling websites which are operated by two magnificent webmasters with little interference by me? Creating wrestling websites is how I got my start in the online world and I’m glad that both of my current webmasters and master of the game. The other day I was […]

Unlike most people in New Jersey, I actually want to get out of the Borough of Deal in Monmouth County. While the borough is great from mid-September through early June, this place becomes an absolute abomination during the summer months. I’ll never understand why entire neighborhoods from Brooklyn relocate to Deal for the […]

This week’s Atlanticville ran a story talking about one of the remaining holdouts in the Long Branch Broadway Arts redevelopment project. What I found upsetting about the article (and thus my impetus to write this post) is what the Atlanticville either forgot or chose not to add in this article. From the article:

Today’s Daily Record had a great article talking about the Dover Lanes bowling alley closing down. Dover Lanes is a “family” and “fun” landmark in Morris County and North Jersey and it will be missed. I remember when I was in a weekend bowling league at the alley as a young kid and […]

This information was confirmed by the public relations company that sent me the information. The public relations company sent me: […]

The following came in from mPRm Public Relations:
I thought you might be interested to know that 13 year old Nikhil Desai from Fremont, New Jersey was part of the 10 finalists chosen for National Geographic children’s National Geographic Bee. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the contest focuses on important knowledge concerning world geography. The complete […]

As if having a police force that entered renters’ homes at all hours of the night without a warrant or probable cause wasn’t enough, my roommate picked up on this news story yesterday: Pregnant Policewoman’s Request for Light Duty Denied by New Jersey Township Officials. Granted, due to the increased scrutiny from a […]

Inspired by Metroplexual’s suggestion to read the NJ Real Estate Report (linked on our sidebar now), I came across a post that compared renting a home to owning a home. In truth, the article was linked from another source, but it gave some interesting points of view on the classic owning vs. renting debate. […]

The Asbury Park Press ran a story this morning that talked about how vendors located on Asbury Park’s Cookman Avenue were gearing up for what they believe will be a very successful summer season. From the article:
For one thing, some new stores are coming as promised to his already active 600 block. Asbury Bark, […]

USA Today is reporting that new home sales have dropped - again - to their lowest point in some sixteen and a half years. Well…duh. Is anyone surprised by this news? We have a horrible economy and that certainly isn’t helping, but has anyone actually looked at the price of a new […]

While looking around FOXNews.com I noticed a story about a high school student arguing that his “American Government” textbook is biased. The article cites some parts of the textbook that claim global warming is still being studied and that the Supreme Court decision on striking down the Texas law regarding gay sex harmed the […]
