Warren Township is in Somerset County. Are you getting it confused with Warren County? Granted, NJ place names can be a clusterf*ck at times.

New licensees are vetted by the local police department to ensure no one shady like the mob is buying a liquor license.

In my town they have been selling for $50k because it is an older, urban municipality and at one time there was a bar on every corner. There are quite a few pocket licenses that owners have unsuccessfully tried to sell. In rural municipalities, licenses are more scarce and can command six or seven figures.

Hours are actually set by the municipality, not the state. If you want the sales time extended, speak with your Mayor and Council.

Apparently, the residents of my neighborhood have never heard of this "trash" thing, as I find scores of plastic water bottles discarded in my local park, gutters on my street of floating down the stream behind my house.

PSE&G gave me a free Google Nest thermostat but when I tried installing it, I learned that my apt lacks a C wire. I was able to sell the Nest for $50 though.

I used to commute from NJTPK Exit 14B to Exit 13. Heading south during rush hour, truck lanes were almost always moving smoother than the car lanes.

I kayaked from the Morris Canal to the World Financial Center 10+ years ago. With all of the power boat traffic in that area of the Hudson River (much of it alcohol-fueled, probably), I found the experience quite terrifying. Thankfully, I wasn't run down by a jetski.

See my post above. Park at Camp Wyanokie & hike south from there. A quieter hike is to visit Long Pond Ironworks State park & hike the Highlands trail up Horse Pond Mountain. You can make a few loops using marked trails & woods roads. Stunning view of Monksville Reservoir from there. I’d post a screenshot but I don’t know how. Here’s the link for parking Green Trail Crossing https://maps.app.goo.gl/4vpBLe7FSF54NQQg9?g_st=ic

That is one of the most popular hiking circuits in NJ, and with weekend temps breaking 70, it's gonna be packed. I would arrive at Otter Hole parking lot before 9 am if you are concerned about finding a space. I don't even hike that area on weekends any longer because I didn't want to deal with the crowds.

You may wish to park at Camp Wyanokie at Snake Den Road West and hike in from the north. The Will Monroe Loop (pink blazes) is very scenic and you'll encounter fewer people.

Download the Avenza app to your phone and purchase NYNJTC "Northern New Jersey Highlands Trail" in the Avenza store and you should have no problem navigating. Blazes are easy to follow.

I see this all the time on 95 east of East Haven. Driver is blissfully cruising along at 65 in the passing lane. After 10 minutes of waiting, I attempt to pass driver on the right. Driver decides to speed up to 85 and takes off like a shot.

10 minutes later, I catch up to that same driver who is now is back down to 65 mph in the passing lane.

$150,000 at the end of their careers? Sweetie, you're thinking of your local cops, who can retire after 25 years of service with no minimum age.

I was married to a teacher. We had to purchase paint and paint her classroom over the summer.

She often emails me assignments, quizzes, etc and asks me to run off copies at my office because the one copier that serves the entire school is broken.

My brother makes over $200k as a middle manager for an insurance company and often rants how teachers are overpaid and hardly work because they "get summers off."

I wonder if Menendez will be able to reuse this quip when he skated in 2017: “To those who were digging my political grave so they could jump into my seat, I know who you are and I won’t forget you,”

Which is so corrupt it makes Hudson County pols look like angels.

Yeah, but we have freedom and Jesus and guns. Lots and lots of guns.

God Bless America.

1997 I think.

25+ years ago, New Jersey started to promote "transit friendly development" by concentrating new housing within a 1/4 mi radius of transit hubs like train stations. At that time, auto-dependent suburban sprawl was gobbling up hundreds of acres of open space in NJ each week.

I used to hang out on the remnants of the concrete piers at the end of Essex St. and watch the guys fish in the Hudson River. There were abandoned cars there and someone would build a fire. It was a great place to cool off on a hot summer day.
