What a lucky find! 18-year old Brianne saw this sticking out of the sand during Saturday's beach sweep - turns out it was an engagement ring lost 2 years ago worth more than $5000! Today it's reunited with the long lost owner.

"an absolute failure of the Murphy administration" is how one person called the line here at the MVC in Eatontown where there is probably close to 500 people who have been standing here for hours.

Just for perspective the areas surrounding the convention center outside of the parking lot are clean. Mayor says 20-25 thousand showed up, no reported incidents and it was a pleasure to have the crowds in the city during the usually quiet off-season.

We lived. MTV videos, Smurfs AND Alvin and the Chipmunks on Saturday morning, and over sugared cereals before heading to school to learn to Just Say No to drugs.
GOOD MORNING NEW JERSEY! question: would you like to pump your own gas? We are the only state where we can't. A bi-partisan sponsored bill may change that. Thoughts?

This is what it looks like in Point Pleasant Beach. It's barely rained here since June. The holiday weekend was one of the smallest crowds I can remember. If your app shows a lightning bolt COME EARLY. Look how dry lawn is

rolled out the Johnson and Johnson vaccine in NJ, citing data the FDA used to grant J&J emergency use authorization, saying it's 100% effective against hospitalizations and death and 85% against severe illness, the FDA pauses its use.
"Ridiculous. 'We're not there yet.' what the hell am I supposed to say to half my customers who refuse to wear a mask now? Come on already" are the words a frustrated restaurant owner just used in a call me to speak his mind following the briefing announcement.
