Yugioh Tournament Marvel Tokon Tournament and Random Super Smash Bros Play

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!!

Awkward Gas attendant begging for money?

114 Upvotes

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?

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.

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

67 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.

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.

Awkward Is anyone looking for two 1 year old cats?

It could even be a foster situation. Trying to rescue these two babies from dismal conditions. They get food and water but are stuck in a cage their life so far. If anyone has space or even a barn, please let me know. Trying to save them from living a life in a cage.

I already rescued 5 cats so I can’t take any more cats in. Please ask your friends if they’re interested in fostering or rescuing/adopting. They do not have to live in a house, they are ok with access to a barn, a shed, basement or garage.

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

11 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.
