    West Mill Road: 1st Outing of the New Year

    Na, they just are getting better at acting. Every year I'm shocked that the comic clubs can tell which way the sky is, let alone which way they need to walk down Broad...

    The Salem Road and Other Places

    Guy's are better than mine, but here are my pictures from the adventure. I really had no idea what was in my backyard (I live in an apartment... it's a figure of speach), so thank you Jerseyman and Guy for having me along! While I was exploring Cherry Hill, and in between stops at the post...

    I Don't Wanna go Home!

    They've done a short tour the last couple of summers after only touring Germany for years. I'm sure they'll play Philly again this year, I'm going if I don't have a show that day.

    I Don't Wanna go Home!

    Oh man, two of my favorite bands in one thread. I picked up a copy of the original Hooters album at a flea market for a buck, I was really happy that day. They rereleased it on cd a couple of years back with some bonus tracks (their first studio recording ever - a demo of "Man in the Street"...

    DEP Acquires Historic Office and Homestead of James Still in Medford

    This is a bit of old news (only 10 months late), but I missed it and couldn't find it when I searched the site, so I figured I'd share. Read the entire press release here

    Batsto, etc

    Went out today with a buddy to check out some places, including a visit to Chatsworth (Marilyn took some of my band's cds to sell), the new Batsto visitors center, the rest of Batsto, Pleasant Mills Church and the broken bridge, and Apple Pie Hill. Nothing that people here haven't been to...

    Broken graves at Pleasant Mills

    I don't know if anyone has been there of late, but there seemed to be an absurd number of knocked over and broken tombstones at Pleasant Mills Cementary today. I'll readily admit that I can be loud and obnoxious, and that I have done some stupid things in my life, but who desecrates graveyards...

    Ole's Ranch/Sally Starr's Ponderosa (not the pizza place)

    Alright, I drive past Square Circle all the time. Never been in though. Just had a Foxhill marry into the family last month, so I was curious. =)

    Ole's Ranch/Sally Starr's Ponderosa (not the pizza place)

    Thanks Largo, I'm not good with anything too fancy with computers, so I just keep it simple. Once I get out of school, I need to get a real host, angelfire is a pain in the neck and has no memory.

    Ole's Ranch/Sally Starr's Ponderosa (not the pizza place)

    Thanks Ben. Scott ~ A Gibby, eh? Do you happen to know the Foxhills? My mom taught there for a couple years, it's a great town. The diving platform at Kresson Lake fell into the water two or three years back during one of the blizzards, I'm still kicking myself for not getting a...

    Ole's Ranch/Sally Starr's Ponderosa (not the pizza place)

    My friends bailed on me today for more in depth exploring, but I had fun on my own heading down to Sally Starr's old place. This is NOT the pizza place, but the remains of a dancehall that she had in the 1960s, known previously as Ole's Ranch. I wrote to Sally Starr about the place a few years...

    80's music

    Hey! I like Pat Benatar. Giraldo is really good, but the drummer at the time (Myron Grombacher) was incrediable. That guy was frickin' ridiculous. I was young in the '80s (wasn't born til '81), but for me the '80s is The Hooters (yea, crappy '80s synth, but I love them anyway), The Dead...

    I've have for a while

    Jerseyman ~ I was planning on trying for this weekend sometime. I actually live on Munn Lane (the apartments on the non-mansions side), so I wasn't worried about parking, I was just going to walk down to the historic sign and go into the woods there. If you and Guy meet up and would be...

    I've have for a while

    Belcoville is always a good time, I've been there a few times and I feel like I barely scratched the surface. Estellville is right there too, went on a "Absegami Trip" a few years back with some folks from this board and another list I'm on, it was a lot of fun. Yea, I need to invest in some...

    Could something like this happen in NJ?

    Somewhere, Teddy Roosevelt is pretty pissed off right now...

    I've have for a while

    Hey Guy, For Old Salem Road, I'd suggest parking the car on Munn Lane (Marlton side of Brace) and walking in. It's the Munn with the big houses. If you are on a little, tiny road, it's the wrong Munn. As for Sally Starr's, it's different than the ice cream place that's open now: Been...

    Pine Barrens Childrens Books

    It dawned on me recently that I've rarely seen any children's books about the Pines. The can only think I've three: "A Devil in the Pines" by Jacqueline Seewald "Blackbeard the pirate and other stories of the Pine Barrens" by Larona Homer "The Shore Ghosts and Other Stories of New Jersey"...

    I've have for a while

    After Friday, I have no work until January 2, and no school until the 15th. I have been ultra-busy for months and months now... Therefore, to do list: Red Bank Battlefield Smithville (Burlington County one) Old Salem Road - thanks Jerseyman Batsto - NEW visitors center, have not seen...

    Hessian Burials

    Wow, that is about ten feet from where I live (I live in the old apartments between Brace Road and Kings Highway, on the river). I've seen the sign several hundred times, I'm going into the woods ASAP. I am assuming it is NOT on the same side as the Coastline? And I must say, wow, this is...
