What's The Worst Thing about Waking Up? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Wed, 01 May 2013 09:57:07 +0000

I woke up this morning to the sound of my smartphone vibrating until it fell off the nightstand. It must be 4am. And there it is. The lowest moment of my day. Once my feet hit the floor I’m ok, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to that first 10 seconds of waking [...]

How many times do you race out of the house in the morning to try to get to work on time only to get stuck in ugly Garden State traffic on the Parkway, 35, 70, Route 9 or any of the other roads that drive us all crazy. Well, we have a new excuse to tell the boss. If Nicki Minaj can do it, so can I!

Is It Me, Or Is Weekend Traffic Still A Little Crazy?

Lou Russo — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:57:58 +0000

I thought after Labor Day, we got a traffic break. That’s not what I’ve seen on the Parkway. I was on the Parkway three times this weekend, and every time, there was way more traffic than I expected. Lots of out of state plates, too. So, what’s that all about? It’s mid September! My mind [...]

I think most people in Monmouth and Ocean Counties are pretty good people and pretty nice neighbors. We'll share milk and sugar, and even throw an extra burger or two on the grill for each other once in a while. But when it comes to shortcuts that can get us around summer traffic, we keep those secrets like they are matters of national security.

What's The Jersey Shore's Worst Road In The Rain? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:34:49 +0000

This morning featured some pretty heavy downpours. It got me thinking about which Monnmouth/Ocean roadway was the worst on a bad rain day. I’m sure some roads immediately jump to your mind. Each of us know the roads on our commute like the back of our hands. And we go through the seasons with those roads. [...]

Here comes our favorite time of year. The sun, the boardwalk, the beaches and the tourists. All of those are welcome words to area businesses who are hoping for a big summer tourist season, and we would love to see it be the biggest summer ever! Even still I remember sitting on the Parkway one steamy Friday last summer.

Every day, it seems that it's a challenge to get then day started and get to work on time. There are only about a thousand things that can go wrong and put you behind schedule and make you late for work, and it only takes one to mess you up for the whole day.

Lou Russo — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:54:59 +0000

We all know there is at least one thing that will annoy us on the roads of Monmouth and Ocean Counties each day. Liz, Nancy and I were talking about the infamous traffic circle on the show this morning and how it can be a pretty confusing and annoying place. Circles certainly aren't the only source of aggravation for drivers in our area, though.

Lou's New Jersey Driving Rant

Lou Russo — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:07:58 +0000

I was driving on Route 35 yesterday and saw the typical stuff from my fellow drivers. There was the guy who got behind the car that had the audacity to go the speed limit. This of course prompted the eye roll followed by the "palms to the sky what are you doing" hand gesture.
