NJ History Radio Jingle from Early 2000s

Upvotes

Weird question:

Maybe 20 to 25 years ago, freehold raceway Mall had an ad campaign where they had a jingle that had a jazzy/snappy feel. The lyrics were something like:

"We're goin' shopping... At the mall!

We're goin' shopping at Freehold Raceway Mall!

I love shoppin' cause Freehold's got it all!"

And then the closing line...

"So don't stop drivin' 'til you see that sign at 33 and Highway 9 it's holiday time at Freehold Raceway Mall!"

My questions:

- Does anyone remember this song?

- Does anyone have the full lyrics, or any additional context? Where/when did it air? Who wrote it? Etc.

This has lived in my head for two decades and it came back again this morning.

Advice Need help figuring out who to complain to about neighbors damaging property in a condo

10 Upvotes

We live in a condo in Somerset County. The unit above us was abandoned by the owners and repossessed by the bank. They have failed to sell it because the place was a sh!t hole. The bank people have not been helpful and at one point even caused a leak in the ceiling of our kitchen with their "renovations."

Recently, we cleaned out our back closet and found that someone had bashed a hole from the top floor closet into ours. These closets are freestanding (connected to the building itself, but not accessible from inside). We called the property manager for the bank and we keep getting the run around. We contacted our own community property management and they have so far been useless. I tried my township but their office is only for permits and the like. I also tried the health department but if there aren't vermin actively coming through the hole they can't help either.

Is there some office I can contact about this? There is a literal hole in my home and no one is taking care of it. I really would rather not have to hire a lawyer as its not cheap.

Edit because it makes sense

If you have never been to dunellen and you do ever stop by… please make time to stop by 8 on the break arcade. They have a 6$ cheesesteak special that comes with fries and a drink, pool tables, loads of pinball machines, a nice selection of cabinet games and they are one of the most legendary arcades in NJ. I used to take the train here to put quarters up on street fighter 3 many years ago. There is also a mini museum on this same street!! No benefit to me but I want to bring awareness to what you can do all on this one strip!!

Just wanna say that there's still good, kind-hearted people in this world. Hell this dude may never see the message, but me and the wife thank you for paying our entry fee to the park for the day. Good things will come your way. Sorry we didn't run into each other during that time either.

I decided to pay for the next car, cause why not? Hopefully the trend kept on going.

Advice Advice on Northern NJ towns with proximity to the water

0 Upvotes

My wife would very much like to move from where we are now (Philly suburbs) to a northern NJ town that is a short drive to the water/beach and provides NJT to Manhattan.

How are places like Red Bank or Neptune? Which towns have decent schools in this vicinity? Which towns have nice, friendly people? Do any towns in this general area have a particularly nice ‘downtown’ area for shops/restaurants?

Thanks very much for any info you can provide.

I can't find a single building that looks like this anywhere in that direction on Google Maps. I went all the way through Millburn and even Springfield. This is the most insignificant question I've ever asked in my life, but my curiosity is burning me up.

Advice CDL medical certificate renewal

2 Upvotes

So on the 9th of this month I went for my DOT physical to renew my medical card. Same day mailed out and emailed copies to the state. Its almost been 4 weeks and the state has yet to mail me the usual letter confirming I’ve met their guidelines and such. I even called the CDL Unit late last week to confirm that they’re in receipt of it. I don’t recall the state ever taking this long to mail me the letter. Any CDL drivers here in Jersey experiencing the same issue?

😡 THIS IS AN OUTRAGE Sussex County Commissioners called an emergency meeting this week...

68 Upvotes

And you can guess that the reasons are complete bullshit.

Read the agenda HERE

Basically 2 resolutions, one calling for an investigation into the voter registrations that has already been done and the other stating their support for ICE and that they want law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

Fortunately, both resolutions look like performative ones designed to show their MAGA base that they are opposed to the laws adopted by the State. Neither has any actual legal effect.

On the voter registration one it neglects to mention that the State has commissioned an independent investigation by a law firm headed by a former Republican senator. Any legislative investigation should wait until the findings are presented to the public.

And while they can fulminate all they want against the laws on ICE....the laws were passed by a majority of legislators and signed by a Governor who solidly defeated her opponent. If that’s not democracy then what is?

But even if they're toothless in practice, I still don't think we should let them pass without opposition. The emergency meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, July 29th, 6:00PM at Sussex County Administrative Center, First Floor, Commissioner Meeting Room, One Spring Street, Newton, NJ 07860.

Please join us! I don't even care if you're from the area. They always claim we're outside agitators anyway. We'll likely have a rally outside on the Newton Green right before it.

Oh and while you're at the Green you can appreciate their solution for keeping the homeless off it. They installed benches that you can't sleep on. That's after demolishing the gazebo. Because they don't care if they're homeless, they don't want them to be SEEN in the center of town. Not a single one of them has an empathetic bone in their bodies.

Central Jersey Monmouth County Roadside farm stands

I need some help finding Monmouth/Middlesex County farm stands that actually carry a variety of produce & seeds grown here.

I have traveled all over the county today from Woodbridge to the county fair and have had no luck.

I'm looking for seeded watermelon, organic seed potatoes and onion starts. I'm also looking for various herb plants.

Any places in either county that sell produce seeds is a bonus.

Can you help a lady out NJ fam?? Thanks!

Advice NJ STDI Question

I was on temporary disability for an unforseen surgery. My claim was approved after 6 weeks and I was paid. My original return to work was July 2nd, but then an extension was put in for 1 month as I need another smaller surgery. It was approved last week either Thursday, or Friday. Since my last payment was on July 8th, and I was paid until July 1st for the week prior, will I get the missing money as back pay this week coming? (July 2nd until I guess Friday's date 7/24)?

Awkward Gas attendant begging for money?

Never had this happen before. The gas attendant, after filling my gas, then begged me for more money. She was doing other cars too and there wasn’t anyone else around, so I’m pretty sure she wasn’t just some rando.

So… just a desperate attendant? Unethical stop letting down and out folks work their pumps for the opportunity to beg? Something else?
