They rebranded as The Highlawn, but yes it’s still around.

Frank Pallone, US congressman, lives on a private, fenced off beach in Lomg Branch, one that is replenished with sand every couple of years at a cost of millions in taxpayer money. This unbelievably hypocritical situation, which has been the case for years, is kept quiet by the media because Pallone is a leftist Democrat.

Where does this affect?

Used to go to Romeos

I went to school with the nephew of the owner. He runs the Romeo’s pizzerias in the Freehold area now.

How is it every other state on the east coast has free beach access then?

NJ maintaining elitism into the 21st century

I remember that too

All the beaches in Pt pleasant are owned by the Jenkinson family. Plus the own pretty much everything on the boardwalk. Only beaches in state or federal parks are public while charging a fee to use the park.

I live in Bergen and 100% agree

A day at the beach in NJ is a scam, and pricing is intended to be a burden to people with limited income. Consider family of 4, I'm gonna call it $8 each to get on the beach, so $32, minimum of $25 to park, $57. Plus food and drinks, ok yeah bring your own... Call it $8 for ice, your at $65, $25 for your snacks, $90. Had to drive there $20 for gas, were at $110 and all we've done is reach the sand...

It may be state-owned, but the benefits are publicly owned because they are gifted out as checks every year

Don't forget about the clowns with their political flags

Between Channel Lumber and Rickel, I thought that Rickel's had more stuff that you would usually need. If you wanted plywood or timber, you went to Channel.

This thread brings back memories. Now I can't get rid of that Rickel radio jingle out of my head.

Manasquan and many other beaches have plenty of lifeguards that they do not restrict swimming areas

I know photos of Avon years ago there weren’t even homes. Looks beautiful

I grew up in Oradell and hated that we couldn't go to the malls on Sunday. My husband and I agreed we'd never live in bergen county for this reason. Here I am, 37, with two kids, I've gone to the mall maybe ten times since my oldest was born. But I do visit my parents in Oradell ... every Sunday.

I did not realize this was a generational thing!

It could have been menlo before they made into a big indoor mall, but that would be before CD World was there.

I’d keep it as a pet looks pretty rad
