Hurricane Sandy has thrown all of our schedules out of whack, but like it or not, Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and Black Friday sales? That's SO last year.

Funtown Pier in Seaside, Jenkinson's in Point Pleasant, the recently redone Belmar Boardwalk, and the brand new waterfront in Union Beach...all major attractions in our area, and all casualties of the monster we call Sandy.

The Nor'easter now known as Winter Storm Athena is over our area dropping rain/snow mixes and freezing out many people that haven't had power (or heat) in a week.
As I write this, JCP&L reports that over 600,000 of their customers are still without power. I have seen crews working on the monumental task day and night since the storm subsided.
There is plenty to be worried about with Hurricane Sandy. They weren't kidding when they said superstorm.
Frankenstorm is knocking on the Jersey shore's front door. This is a dangerous one and it has most people around the area very concerned, and that includes the true veteran Jersey shore people who don't usually get too nervous about anything.

I just had a birthday yesterday and it was awesome. I'm fortunate to be doing something I love and I got to spend my day with the people I love, so which birthday it is didn't really matter to me. Later in the day, though, a conversation broke out in the office about age.
With one week to go until Jersey Shore Restaurant Week, it's time to kick things into high gear with our final game!
I was at a store a few days ago and heard a chorus of sneezes and coughs. I check Facebook and a lot of people are complaining about being sick. I come to work and tissue boxes are everywhere.
I wanted to do a story on some great actors and actresses who were either born in New Jersey, grew up here or live here, so we could do a poll on the best actor or actress from the Garden State. When I checked out the list, I was floored. Hollywood owes New Jersey a lot!
After Mitt Romney said at last week's debate that he would cut the federal subsidy to PBS, everyone seemed to be talking about Big Bird.
Obama's camp capitalized on that, though it seems that the folks at Sesame Street are none too happy about it.
