This article from 1962 is almost the same as some of the articles from the past few weeks. Most of the problems are the same too, looting, problems with insurance and limited access to damaged areas. Read the very last paragraph - times haven't changed...

Really! Labor rules are one of the causes of the failure. A separate driver for each brand to make a delivery to the same store is an example of how things are run. Union driven work rules such as that are ludicrous and there is wonder why the labor costs are so high for the company. Streamline...

For some reason, I have always thought that Hawkins Road was the Lawrence Line. Thanks for the clarification. The shattered monument must be a township or state marker. It has seen better days for sure.

The surveyors have been very active along Hawkins Road. More than likely, it has to to do with the recent drilling of the new wells. I didn't get to spend much time in the area this morning, but their activity has exposed several stone or concrete markers in the area. This one is fragmented and...

This is great news! I am so happy that some progress is being made and that others are pro-active! I hope many more of the bad guys are caught and that the problems we have been dealing with come to an end.

After reading several other articles, the workers, the union and the management are what brought the company to an end. The workers refused to adapt their demands in a competitive market place and management let the brand stagnate, failing to freshen up the product line. The company failed to...

Long live the Twinkie! Another iconic brand on its way to a sad ending, joining the likes of Pan Am, Zenith, Polaroid, Plymouth and Texaco. Hopefully, the pieces of the company are purchased by a smart investor who realizes the potential of the brand and keeps the business going.

Thanks 46er! Looks like I will be heading down towards Warren Grove Friday night. I would be thrilled to capture a meteor trail passing through Milky Way!

The Realtree camo floor covering and trim in the hunting "pillbox" put it over the top! The Texas land baron, who had the tower built in the link, spared no expense on the luxuries. I am happy with my old climber, I wouldn't know what to do with a set up like the one shown.

If homeowners were considerate and responsible this wouldn't have had to happen. I wouldn't be at all bothered if New Jersey outright banned the sale and planting of spreading bamboo. The root mass of bamboo is no different than trying to break up concrete. If anyone has tried to remove old...

Volume Alert! A10 Warthogs practicing at a bombing range. This video is similar to what occurs at Warren Grove, for those of us, who haven't had the chance to watch the air show in the Plains. Years ago, civilians were allowed onto the range to watch the aircraft close up. Enjoy...

Pine roads never recover after storms, the individuals driving the roads just adapt to what ever new obstacle crosses their paths. On occasion the Forest Service will patch a road if it is a major artery, but for the most part you are on your on. Common sense and two wheels on the dry will get...

I wonder if the maze of roads and plots had something to do with studies done by the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station? I recall reading an article about the Civilian Conservation Corps helping with cultural operations during the 1930s and 1940s in southern New Jersey forests. Wasn't...

There is a similar cut of roads and boxes not to far away on the far side of Lebanon Forest. http://www.historicaerials.com/aerials.php?scale=5&lon=-74.56819908324543&lat=39.89297143024938&year=1940

Sure, laugh it up! I thought you were my friends!!! :D Here is the link to the thread that answers all the questions about the Route 72 railroad bridge started by Bobpbx. http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/rt-72-rr-bridge.7629/

Ah!:confused: It was late and I wanted to discuss something other than the storm. I now see the thread from a year ago that explains the bridge and its details in depth started by Bobpbx. I should have went with my other choice to question what was going on a short distance to the north of the...

Just for the sake of discussion, why would Highway 40 and Savoy Boulevard need a bypass at their intersection in 1940? Would there be a need to access the railroad before the bridge? What is the history of the highway during this time period and area...

Let us not forget Hurricane Diane and Connie from August of 1955. The duo changed much of New Jersey, many years before my time. The Delaware river had record flooding. Most of the bridges, villages and railroads, that where along the river in the northern half of the state, were destroyed.

Aren't the hikers supposed to play a prank on bigfoot, just like all of the other videos I have seen of the beast? I was waiting for them to pester the thing somehow.:)

The flood damage is horrible. At least your neighborhood isn't layered with several feet of sand, that has to be the one positive for your area. Has any rebuilding started at all in the areas that have been cleaned up?
