2021

I am honestly shocked to see the number of cars that get stolen. Not hundreds, but thousands of vehicles are stolen each year in the Garden State! These are the most popular cars that were stolen in New Jersey in 2020...

Imagine a world without pizza? I don't think I would want to live! I would never be on death row, but if I was on death row and I was told I was able to eat one last meal, I would order a few slices of pizza and french fries, with a cherry Dr. Pepper.

Currently, there are over 1,000 CASA Programs throughout the United States, and CASA volunteers have helped more than 2 million children find safe, permanent homes in which they can thrive. CASA of Ocean County does a tremendous job and now you can help...

This is going to be a legendary night! We are going to dress up in our best Halloween costumes, we are going to drink a ton of Coors Light, and hopefully, someone will go home with $25,000!

There is tons of family fun happening this weekend in Toms River. I am happy to get the word about two events that would be perfect for the whole family to attend...

I recently showed you the Monmouth County SPCA Dogs, now let's do cats! Right now is the best time to adopt! The next three months will be filled with wonderful moments. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are lined up and ready to go! Now is the perfect opportunity to welcome or add a friendly feline to your family. It really would be a special way to wrap up 2021.

In the news world, "bad news is good news." On a daily basis, we see a ton of negative news headlines because media outlets know those stories will generate viewership and revenue. To be honest, I hate it... This article is the exact opposite - GOOD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!

The annual Beers On The Boards will take place on Saturday, November 6th. The craft beer festival will take place on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach at Martell's Tiki Bar. There will be two sessions from 12:30-4 pm & 6-9:30 pm. You must be 21 years or older to enter and there will be an all-you-can-eat buffet. Tickets are $60 - Keep scrolling to see what breweries will be at this year's event...The list is tremendous!

I think it's time I bring this up. I have been pushing it off and playing it cool but enough is enough! All I want is for the Corrado's Market in Brick Township to open! Hey, Corrado... we Jersey Shore Italians are chomping at the bit over here, WE NEED YA!

One of my favorite things to write about is the opening of local stores and restaurants, especially after what the pandemic did to many business owners. For me, It's exciting to see passionate entrepreneurs bring something that they love to our Jersey Shore communities. If you plan to open a business or if your business is doing something unique like an event, or moving to a new location, send information to jim.guiliano@townsquaremedia.com - I would love to get the word out for you!

Eating pizza, great! Eating pizza and supporting local animal shelters, EVEN BETTER! Earlier this year, Rocco's Pizza opened on Main Street in Bradley Beach. Not only does Rocco's Pizza host Italian favorites created by an award-winning chef, but they only serve customers flavorful food crafted with high-quality ingredients. The deals are great and the more they serve the more they help! Rocco's Pizza donates part of its profits to local animal shelters in the name of the owner's first family rescue dog, Rocco.

I've always heard about the Zombie Walk and this was my first opportunity to experience it first hand. I had a blast and the thousands of zombies on the boardwalk got me into the Halloween spirit. The effort, creativity, and artwork by those portraying zombies is truly something to witness.
