    Union Forge

    I went in search of Union Forge and the mansion that Beck discusses. I first went to the wrong former lake and got destroyed by briars. Found the old dam though. Then I went to what I believe was the right area adjacent to the correct lake. I found a very slender cellar hole in the area I...

    Scary Abandoned House between Tuckerton and New Gretna

    Again, I should stress that people should NOT go in that house. It IS a death trap. If you do, don't encourage anyone else to do so. Thanks.

    Trashing of the Pines

    I SENT THIS EMAIL TO THE COUNTY department of Solid Wastre Management" "To Whom It May Concern, It has recently come to my attention that the County is filling in roadside areas with residential trash. I am bewildered how this could have seemed like a good idea for waste disposal since it...

    I sent emails to several departments within Ocean County on their web page.

    Old NJ history books

    My "Down Jersey" book has pages like that. I stupidly pulled them apart while reading it. My advice is to pull a sharp razor along the concave side in multiple strokes until it pulls apart. That is if you are not worried about it losing value for the change in condition.

    Bear trapping

    That is good to know. It is also very good to hear that they are not currently opposed to the bears migrating back into the Pines. There is so much food as far as huckleberries go that their populations would probably increase quickly and then the public fear and hunting would begin. I...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    If you feel a reason to vote for him, then yeah go for it. I have absolutely no idea why you would vote for more pollution and more destruction of our landscape plus the threat of losing the Endangered Species Act, but please vote as you'all wish, of course. This guy is a no-brainer when it...

    I understand. Yeah, this is not the right forum for anti-war rants. I apologize.

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    Again, I feel like I'm being a refugee in a forum that has no option but to be on the fringe. I don't mean to disrupt the Admin's ability to keep the peace, but sometimes peace must be broken. I shall speak diplomatically from here on since that is the best way to move things along.

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    I understand the humor, and understand the its applicability to the thread which I started, and ultimately destoyed, but maybe...just maybe, this discussion was of the UTMOST importance to what the entire web page focuses on. Please be aware that this discussion was right on the money and the...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    Have you noticed Jokerman, how the media has taken sides? I listen to Rush Limbaugh and 1210 talk radio in Philadelphia, not because I am republican, but because it is so unbelievable that there are knuckleheads all over the country who worship those neo-conservatives and Bush. I sit there...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    For some reason natural born male Americans have the least amount of support from the good 'ol government. Every single gas station in the state is owned by middle eastern men who are given so many incentives and breaks that nobody else really stands a chance. They are even given big breaks if...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    Speaking of Lakewood...They are settled on demolishing several replicas in Lakewood of what I believe are European castles that are listed on the register of historic places. Apparently, the power of the historical societies is limited in protecting the contents of the registries. I'm getting...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    It's all money-based. If the old buildings made someone a wad of cash, they'd all still be there. It's unfortunate that the biggest industry in NJ nowadays is development, especially residential. They are putting condos in place of the Palace in Asbury. Asbury will be dominated by the Hacidic...

    Palace Amusements Building Demolished (5/26/04)

    The Palace Amusements building in Asbury Park was demolished today. I remember a few years ago the building was assessed to see if it was possible to save it, the results of which determined it was. They held a meeting yesterday to decide if the Palace Amusements building should be spared the...

    Strange stuff at Atsion

    Barry, Please excuse my bantering. I didn't even look at who had posted the original message. I know you are a respectful Piney! Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember wondering if there was another house next to the broken-down one and asking myself it that place was inhabitable at all...

    Strange stuff at Atsion

    There is a family living there. I first of all want to point out that there is nothing strange about them except for the fact that they don't live in a house with a manicured lawn and a picked fence. I've seen the boy walking down the road and he looks out of time but this is the most wonderful...

    on the road to Carranza

    They must have used the stream for water power and probably had a dam. Due to the fact that this was part of the iron furnaces, it must have some background. I am going to look into it and hopefully some insight can be brought about.
