Reply to Seven months has past since the enactment of the single use plastic ban. How many reusable bags do you own? How many of them do you use on a consistent basis? by Eastcoastpal
We have somewhere around 18. We try to equally split them up between the cars so we always have some no matter where we are.

Reply to I Cant Believe that in the Year 2022, some New Jerseyans still cant... by sourpatch_grown-up
How about we just say some New Jerseyans still can't use their lights correctly. Not only do they forget to turn them on in the rain or at night, but quite a few have no idea how to turn off their highbeams

Reply to comment by SpeedySpooley in Atlantic City by lilBob1989
Yea, I grew up in Ocean City, the 1400sqf house I grew up in still stands, but is worth close to half a million now. It sits on 1/4 of an acre with a two car garage. My little house in Northfield has less than half the property and no garage. My taxes are more than twice what my growing up house pays.

Reply to Atlantic City by lilBob1989
The problem with Atlantic City is the high taxes. Co-worker of mine had a small 800sqf house in the Venice Park section of town, his taxes were close to my 1300sqf home in Northfield.
Instead of siphoning off all the taxes out of the city, NJ should allow AC to drop the property taxes to minimal and people will move back.

I am one of those New Jersians, I was thankful those two could overcome politics to rebuild this state. Anybody who said otherwise at the time was already sliding into fascism.

BL England. It was converted from Coal to oil and is now in the process of being torn down completely. They collapsed the cooling tower last month.

I work in Atlantic City near the turbines there. I think they look good and they do not bother the view at all. If anything the sewerage plant they are located at looks better because of the turbines.

I live in Northfield, except for the week long rain from Ian, we had one rainy day between June and the end of September. I actually thought my weather radio had packed it in because it was quiet all summer.

Reply to comment by CDavis10717 in A morning stroll on the boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 1978 by AxlCobainVedder
would be if Trenton didn't keep sucking all the money out of the city for other projects. Like horseracing at the meadowlands.

1978 I was just a little shit. I can remember wandering the Atlantic City Boardwalk while my parents were in Boardwalk Hall participating in a dog show. I would wander down to the nearest arcade and play skeeball.
Sometimes I wonder how I ever made this far without getting killed.

Reply to comment by whskid2005 in New Jersey already bans smoking in parks and on beaches, but it could soon extend that prohibition to a slew of other public spaces: Assemblywoman Murphy reintroduced a measure that would expand the smoking ban to boardwalks, race tracks, amusement parks, historic sites, and burial sites by rollotomasi07071
My late grandmother lived a mile from a traffic light. People would light up at the red and when they got to her place, throw the butt out the window. The first 8 feet of her lawn was nothing but cigarette butts. They were nearly impossible to get out of the grass.

I work in one of the casinos. We need a ban in those buildings.
