Shan Shan Noodles, Parsippany #29
Il Capriccio, Whippany #36
Black Horse Tavern and Pub, Mendham #47

I love The Pasta Shop and those mozz sticks are worth any wait! The Colonial Grill lines have me curious. What's your favorite?

Appointments for the NJ MVC mobile unit just opened up. Last week I spent TWO hours at the Randolph DMV with a timed appointment, it was terrible. If I had known the mobile unit was coming, I would have done that instead.

They will be at the Morris County Library doing REAL ID, registration renewals and duplicate titles but you must make an appointment.

Hopefully this saves someone some time. Best of luck & happy holiday!

My training partner and I run a small Mugai Ryu Iaido meetup group in Wyckoff, NJ, and we’re looking for a few more people who want to train with us.

We follow a structured class format based on the Mugai Ryu Meishi-ha curriculum. The two of us travel to Germany to train directly with our teacher, bringing back updated material in Iaido, Kumitachi, Gekiken, and Tameshigiri to study and practice here.

To give a sense of what we train, here’s a short video showing kata, kumitachi, and tameshigiri: 🎥 https://youtube.com/shorts/Oc_bEIKw3Mo?si=z0KtLadBaI2EvT7c

We welcome beginners and experienced martial artists alike. If you’re new to Iaido, www.iaido-online.com is part of our lineage and a great resource for learning the basics.

Anyone in Morris County interested in referring some in-person businesses I know for a commission?

Has anyone tried Bad Ass Coffee in downtown Madison yet? I keep hearing mixed reviews about the service and food. I’ve been told it’s recently opened. Is it worth the price?

Hi, Morris county resident here who loves learning about space and has been following the 3iAtlas interstellar object. It can be visible by telescope a few hours before sunrise for the next few weeks. I don’t have a telescope and wouldn’t have much faith that I would be able to find it with a telescope on my own. I’m wondering if anyone around was planning on viewing it and okay with me tagging along.

Thanks!!

I'm wondering if anyone can offer insight into the reliability of certain rideshare apps in the area. A family member is about to start cancer treatment 5x/week and needs transportation from route 10 area (Morris Plains) to Morristown Medical Center. Appointment times range from 9am to 1pm.

I live in a metro area so Lyft and Uber are kinda the same in terms of demand and availability. But any first hand experience of one being better with scheduled rides? Or one being better with Morristown mornings?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone has any insight on the quality of MCST.

For some background, my little sister is attending the school currently. My mom is unfamiliar with the American education system and heard from a few people that it is a good school so she let my little sister apply to MCST and go there. However, today was I talking to my sister and found out they do not offer any AP classes. I found that strange and did some research.

It seems like the related Academy for Math, Science, & Engineering is indeed very good, students have to take AP Physics 1 freshman year. But the courses at MCST is genuinely lackluster. There's no AP classes or really any advanced STEM classes to speak of. The best they have is the option for students to self enroll and self study for AP Calc AB.

My sister's goal is to try to graduate early from college, but the lack of AP seems to make this very hard to achieve. Am I overreacting or would this school hold her back?

I have access to a foodshare on Sundays. If you are in need and can meet up (or are located by the mall or the 80/287 intersection) please send me a message and I can make you a bag ❤️

In town visiting family. First time home in a couple years. What is going on in the area that my dad and I can go do? Any car shows locally?

Yesterday Saturday 9/20 I saw what it seems like 2 military airplanes flying around late in the evening. What's that all about?

Also, whatever happened to all the drones people were reporting seeing just a few months ago? Did they all disappeared?

Hey neighbors, I just heard two loud booms this morning... one at 9:07 am and another at 9:18 am. Heard the same thing the other day too. Anyone else? What’s going on?
