r/njbeer is leaking!

“James on Main” is right there too - excellent food. There aren’t many tables, so I’d suggest a reservation.

I feel like I jinxed myself because like half an hour after I made this comment I felt that twinge over my left eye...

26 in 2016. An old college buddy of mine found a surprisingly cheap apartments complex in Haddonfield and we moved in as roommates. At the time I was still working at Whole Foods, $13/hr or so at 40 hours per week. Fast forward to now and I’m very much enjoying Haddonfield’s cap on rent hikes.

Where is your preferred gas station view?

I live in PA now and prefer pumping my own gas but we also have giant Sheetz/Wawa's on every corner with like a minimum of 12 pumps at each. A lot of the NJ gas stations I remember growing up were smaller 4 pump stations. With the amount of people compared to the size of the stations, I feel like they'd get jammed up pretty fast. Especially with assholes who are done filling up but sit there hogging the pump while they text or go inside to take a dump or something. At least with attendants they can ask people to move and help maintain flow of traffic. I think NJ stations would need to be bigger for it to be practical there.

Not having a covering is an issue, that I agree with. Staying out of the elements makes a big difference when pumping gas. But you don't need more pumps, because it's faster to pump your own. I'm in and out in less than 5 minutes.

The one with Toms River should really be "The O.C."

Marleys is the best, what’s your favorite sauce? It’s hard for me not to order the Bang Bang.

The only real issue, at least up north, is I'm not convinced we have the space for the huge gas stations that you see in the midwest.

I don't even mean the Texas Bucky's. Just a regular one, well lit, clean, fully covered, with 6-20 pumps. Most gas stations up here are basically falling apart, with too few pumps, no covering, and not enough land to build something spacious and comfortable.

As we transition to EVs you will be doing it yourself at some point... some already!

Jim Dandy’s in Nutley. Full rack for half rack price on Mondays. Enjoy they’re banging!

This is the way. full rack for half rack price on Mondays too!!!!

Just tell everyone what parkway exit you are and people will know! Or you can just say right by Sandy Hook.

That's my 'hood. I grew up in those woods. Excellent place.

NJ > CO transplant and I couldn't agree more. People who gloat about not having to pump their own gas have no idea how much better it really is to do it yourself.

Dudeeee I've had a migraine all week and I can't take off for it 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Mental health days? I don't dream that big.

It was debateable between a few until I looked south and saw CUM. Can't be touched.

Everyone needs mental health days. It would be great if they were at school, like open gym art, music lounge etc. With counselors on hand.

I wish I could pump my own too. Ironically, there’s a gas station in Budd Lake that I avoid because I don’t want to take on damage from one of the more reckless attendants.

You can start in West Milford and drive 30 minutes and still be in West Milford. I've done it. It goes on FOREVER.

Moved out right after graduating college in 2019 to join the AmeriCorps in California, lived there for two years, moved back and lived at home for a year while I worked, then moved out again to live with my best friend in an 2br apartment in North Jersey. It’s been very expensive and I am not able to save very much but imo it’s worth it for the peace of mind and independence.

If you were from another state you would turn your car off, step outside, and enjoy the view while the gas was filling.

Needs to be CMB or CBL, definitely.
