They should inscribe this on the back of the headstones of everyone who died of cancer playing in these dumps as kids.

Is it Asbury Park? I heard some good things about Keyport recently but I always thought the neighborhood may be bad?

Two words: Chris Christie. I have had people say to me that all they know of NJ is The Jersey Shore and our former gubernatorial goober. Give me Snooki over Christie any day.

Mangiano in Cedar Knolls (near Morristown/Madison) is really great.

Do Fords still come with a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?

I'd love to agree but in the back of my mind while my heart was racing all I could think of was their family's if I had struck and killed them. Every part of me wanted to speed up and sit behind them and honk and swerve but thats adding yet another hazard to the roadway and possibly taking another life.
I have never been so pissed at 3 idiots before but the best choice was to slow down try to get away from them and make sure I didn't hit anyone else.

It's funny you say that I work for my local townships road department and AM the guy that scrapes them off the pavement in two separate incidents. One was a heart attack victem and the other was a teen who thought they were invincible. Normaly the local police do most of the work for us but it's still horrible.
Whoever they were whatever they were doing their final moments of their body's memory weren't their grieving family thinking fondly of them around their casket but our trucks spreading sand over the bloody pulp on the road and what's ever left of them being sucked away by a street sweeper. If anything I can say the silver lining is it humbles everyone involved and their stupid choice can help others to be more carefull in order to stick around for their loved ones.

Again, completely unsurprising and in line with the constitution. It’s just a matter of time before the rest is struck down. Afterwards, the politicians who pushed this need to be held accountable for the blatant violation of our rights and utter waste of taxpayer money.

Agreed. I just didn't know that other towns tolerated the fukery that Wildwood does beside it creeping into OC.

I do not get offended when I get insults from people, for it usually means insults is the peak of their intellect.

I surely didn't support MLK. Was too busy not existing back then.

The beaches, yes. Quite a few under 21 get in the bars.
More teens in Wildwood, but OC should not be the party town. Leave OC as it has always been.

They don't. Somerville's landfill continues to operate and they're putting solar panels over top of it without the need to drill down into it.

My dreams involve heavy things falling on top of me from the racks at work. Once it was a giant spider from the ceiling.

Yeah, my understanding of the site (and I'm going back a number of years to the planning board meetings for the development) basically broke the site into two parts, one that acted as the landfill, and the other that was more open space where dumping occurred of mainly construction debris and whatnot.
I am hopeful that standards for developing on sites like this have improved since the early 2000s and 1990s. I say hopeful because I can't say 100% yes, because I don't know what the standards were back then, but for this site, with cutting it in half, and then remediation efforts on the residential portion, removing fill, adding screens, and capping entirely, outside of radioactive waste, exposure potential is practically zero.
And the areas that still are functioning landfill are not even being disturbed, but for some roads to access the solar panels. The panels won't even be in the ground, they're sitting on top of the lawn essentially, with ballast of course.
I understand concern with it, but it comes down to either using or not using the site. Exclude the fact that it was a landfill and it's a great location between two major thoroughfares to travel in all directions. I believe the LSRP process the DEP utilizes now is much more effective at monitoring remediation efforts.
Also, I'm pretty sure half the units are for ownership too, which IMO is better than just offering rentals. Giving folks an opportunity to get equity is always a good thing.

100000% this!
You typically won’t find me rocking any red, white and blue on the 4th, but along the lines of what you wrote, just wearing red, white and blue and buying a bunch of paraphernalia doesn’t make one a patriot… more likely a nationalist.
