With our beaches weeks away from being overrun, I caught word of a “secret beach” not too many in Monmouth and Ocean counties are aware of…until now.It may be a bit of a hike down the GSP for those of us in Monmouth county. It’s a quick trip for Ocean county residents. Have you heard [...]

The Worst Things About Winter [POLL]

Lou Russo — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:33:21 +0000

I am a summer lover. I’d much rather be hot than cold, and I’d much rather be outside than inside. Welcome to my least favorite time of the year. I like the holidays, but for me that’s where the fun ends. I can’t stand driving in the snow, shoveling the snow and worrying about the [...]

Summer 2012 Says Goodbye! Did You Do Everything You Wanted To? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:00:41 +0000

We all know somebody who reminded us on Memorial Day weekend just how quickly summer would go by. We didn’t want to hear it then, but whoever said it was right. We’re closing the book on Summer 2012 here at the Jersey Shore. Of course I’m not happy about it, but what are you going [...]

Why Do We Have Daylight Saving Time?

Matt Ryan — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:38:34 +0000

The days at the Shore are getting shorter. It was just this week that I started to notice it was getting dark earlier. Before you know it we’ll be “falling back an hour.” But why do we “spring ahead” in the first place? Daylight saving time was started in the United States for the sake [...]

Ready For Halloween? I'm Not

Lou Russo — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:53:17 +0000

I went to the store Sunday morning in my shorts and flip-flops. I needed to pick some things up for a Labor Day celebration. I had to work my way past all the Halloween stuff. Something’s not right about that. What is so wrong with waiting for one holiday to end before the big push [...]

Pumpkin-Flavored Treats Make Their Return

Laurie Cataldo — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:04:20 +0000

I love pumpkin-flavored goodies — breads, scones, muffins, soups, and even pumpkin spice lattes (which, no, don’t have any real pumpkin in them, just ‘pumpkin spice’ flavors which are basically cinnamon, clove, and allspice.) Normally I’m pretty pumped for the first taste of orange-y goodness. Not this time. I refuse to acknowledge anything pumpkin-related this [...]

The Best Things About Summer [LIST]

Laurie Cataldo — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:13:41 +0000

Another summer is on its way out…what are some of the things we’ll have to say goodbye to for a while? 1) Beach time I’ll be honest, I only made it to the beach once this whole summer. Mostly because I hate paying for sand time, and I hate searching for parking even more. Luckily, [...]

Lou Russo — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:51:54 +0000

It seems to have been a good summer here at the Jersey shore. Icertainly hope so for all the local business owners and retailers. If it was a good summer, we owe a lot of it to the tourists, so thank you tourists! But… … I did want to mention a few things to the tourists to keep in [...]

How Work Should Look Everyday

Laurie Cataldo — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 22:39:01 +0000

My job was especially awesome today. I spent my day broadcasting live from a fanned cabana at Bar A’s Grotto Beach under clear blue skies with 80 degree weather. I was in prime spot to catch an amazing acoustic performance by Train in front of a cascading waterfall. I met a ton of listeners, and [...]

When Does Summer End At The Jersey Shore? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:44:56 +0000

Last week, I told you that we shouldn’t worry about Labor Day weekend being the end of summer, since we have our own summer after the tourist season around here. Many people agreed with me, but many didn’t. It seems that lots of people around the Jersey shore do consider summer over after Labor Day weekend. The [...]

It's Not The End Of Summer..It's The Start Of OUR Summer! [Jersey's Point of Lou]

Lou Russo — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 12:51:34 +0000

With each passing day, I get a little more upset that summer is winding down here at the Jersey shore. Then I stop and remind myself that our summer is just about to begin! So many Jersey shore residents I know think there are two summers. There’s the tourist summer, the one with the traffic, crowds, lack of parking and 100% [...]

My "Jaws" Moment In The Hot Tub

Lou Russo — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:31:50 +0000

I just told this story on the air, so I thought I'd share the pictures with you. I bought this really cool little raft that holds drinks for the hot tub. We already had a couple of rubber turtles and a shark water thermometer floating around the hot tub. When they all came together, a funny thing happened.

Laurie Cataldo — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:27:44 +0000

Summer is winding down, so you better bet your grill time in while you can! What are the best foods on the grill? Burgers When it comes to the grill, burgers are boss. I don’t care if they are beef, veggie, turkey, or some combination of the three. Burgers taste better when grilled. Veggies Grilled [...]

With all the craziness that is a Jersey shore summer, it’s nice to take a minute and soak in some little things that make us happy. I wanted to share one with you. We all get caught up in vacation plans, barbeques, parties, family events, parking spots and traffic during our summer days, and sometimes we don’t [...]

Does Every Thunderstorm Have To Be Monumental This Summer? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:41:49 +0000

It seems that every summer there seems to be a thunderstorm in the forecast every day. But this summer seems different, doesn’t it? It seems that this summer it can’t just be a regular thunderstorm. It has to be monumental. Last night was just another example of what Monmouth and Ocean counties has been going [...]
