Local kid makes good by digging--up old bones... It's nicknamed Bone Island, a desolate, windswept 6-acre patch of trees and grass in the middle of the St. Croix River in Maine. It's called Bone Island because of the bones rumored to surface now and then, legendarily from the 35 men who...

I found it particularly interesting that "...when in 1916 the brickworks reopened after it got an order for 2 million bricks for the Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City." I wonder where the bricks came from for the other A.C. hotels, such as the Claridge. ebsi

When I was in high school, there were really BIG fires in and around the Warren Grove area: We had many, many days off, as all hands were needed to rake, and spread sand on the smoldering embers, in order to prevent flare--ups well behind the fire line... The Pinelands ecology requires...

It is; and it's usually performed by "qualified experts," or by people with some expertise, such as Pineland Fire Companies. However, when "private landowners" are solicited to "improve/enhance" their "habitats," some might take to performing the "improving" themselves. Need I point to the...

Today, is All Souls' Day, which followed All Saints' Day, which was preceded by All Hallow's Eve, aka. "Halloween." About 50 years ago, Steve McQueen was doing battle (in a New Jersey diner?!) with something rather amorphous in his first film (or in one of his first films), The Blob. A...

I think it may have been in The Lure of Long Beach Island that I read (many years ago) that, based on the finding of some tar--encrusted cannonballs that were covered in silver coins, it was thought that the treasure was buried somewhere south of Holgate... Based on what Ben wrote, all you...

Greed!!!! Yes, and with three strikes, he "outta be 'out'." Stay in Las Vegas, Steve! During the playups to the recent World Series, Stevie was seen talking to "La Donald:" Two megalomaniacs "tete a' tete," who are usually toe--to--toe. The article in the ACP intimated that they would...

PRR--Seashore Line Records? Some of my relatives worked for the PRR. Two of them worked many, many years on the Seashore Line. I would dearly like to know when these people started to work for the PRR, and when they left the employ of the PRR... Do you know if such records exist, and if so...

Tsk, tsk... People, I, for one am NOT offended --- just very disappointed in the lack of decorum some on this list have exhibited in commenting on the passing of a famous New Jerseyan. Perhaps, some consider me to be just a meddling, "old fogey," but Jane Wyatt and her TV husband had a...
