Yes, I think that's correct. Some sort of marker existed at the site in 1930, and possibly as early as 1928 or 1929, when the first American Legion memorial service was held. The New York Times covered the second memorial service on July 12, 1930, reporting the following day: So I suppose...

I still haven't gotten over Comcast usurping my @home.net email address in 2002 or so.

I am not sure why they're closed. It seemed like maybe they had lost their cook, but it's been about 9 months now. The sign on the door just says to check their Facebook for details, but they don't provide any further information there. It's a shame - the food was good and the owners seemed...

I've mentioned it in other posts, but NASA FIRMS / VIIRS is very useful for tracking fires. There is one satellite image from yesterday at 12:01 ET which may possibly show the starting point, or at least a starting point, just off of Jones Road, here. Imagery copyright Planet Labs, Inc.

When appointments become available again, I suggest making one for as early in the morning as possible, right when they open. It was a nightmare initially trying to get Real ID at the Delanco location. I ended up making an 8AM appointment in Vineland and I was in and out of there in about 20...

From the NJFFS Facebook page: Next update at approximately 8AM tomorrow.

Must have been too far away to hear this one. It seems like these must happen at least a few times a year. I posted a thread about an occurrence in 2023.

Another great video by Tom Lynskey covering the departure of the SS United States from Philly. If you have not also seen his full hour-long documentary on the ship, I would highly recommend it. I think I spotted at least one member of these forums in the crowds :)

My brother sent me this a few minutes ago. Taken on 70 in Cherry Hill. He said it is a big junkyard fire in Camden but I haven't seen it reported anywhere else yet. Edit: here is an article. Looks like a very large stack of crushed cars is burning...

If anyone has one they'd like to sell, send me a message! I looked for one on eBay as well, but I think Gibby beat me to it :)

I'm sorry to hear this. I was fascinated by his photos and firsthand experience at Martha Furnace. I hope that that site can be re-excavated and be made visible to the public once again someday.

Because you are setting Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors in the requests you are making to nj.maps.gov. The NJPB maps site is setting Sec-Fetch-Mode: no-cors, so it works. Essentially, your site asks for strict CORS checks and NJPB does not. You can likely resolve this entire issue by changing a...

I'm currently waiting on a Lone Star Grillz 20x36 pellet smoker to get here, but it will be a few more months before it arrives. They are individually built by hand in Texas. Everything on it made in the US, down to the controller board. Designed to replicate the consistent smoke of a stick...
