they do but the amount you have to put into the system vs what they pay is way too low and it only applies to actual energy usage not fees so even if I produce enough power to cover my entire bill it will not cover the fees portion. say I generate 100 bucks worth of extra electric a month and my actual electric charges are 50 it will only cover that portion

We watched the Shakespeare episode of Moonlighting in my high school English class, and it's crazy now to think that he was only 13 years out of high school himself at that point.

Jersey City Riverview Park had a pretty spectacular Farmers market. That's where Jersey city's ModCup coffee roaster got their start.

It's probably the same vendors who travel around the state like pickalicious and the various farmers who come in from Pennsylvania, but it's just a really fun vibe on a Sunday.

They'll do events there, yoga in the park, children's activities, it's right next to a playground, live music...

Just it's all the right notes.

Age also plays a factor - North Jersey settlement in general is a bit older than South Jersey settlement. The joke I heard is that the roads up here are based on the old wagon routes, which were based on old Native American footpaths, which were sometimes based off of old deer trails - so you can get weird bends because five hundred years ago a deer stopped to look at something interesting!
