Private 'copter. ;-)

Fond memories of Summer ’78 whilst stationed at Eatontown’s Fort Monmouth, playing a “bennie” by night, when almost anywhere could be a Bruce drop-in. That New Year’s Eve sometime after midnight, he sat in with Sea Bright’s “Rum Runner’s” party band. Late ’90s I worked for a few months across the street from Big Man West and was amazed at who would be seen on stage through the smoke-filled room.

If you're the only car, to be humane. If others, then to finish and get receipt.

A skulk of foxes appeared at Island Beach Park's north end, non-normative being nocturnal and solitary. Despite signs begging not to do so, vehicles threw them food and even candy.

Fond memories of a department store cafeteria's animal pictured-menu enabling pre-readers.

Land in EWR, rent a car and Jersey is your oyster, from the northwest corner's High Point park (hiking) and Delaware River (rafting), down to southern-most Cape May's Victorian beach and B&Bs. You'll be delighted at our geographic diversity.

My father sold upon my high school graduation, so I had to find a job and housing that summer as well as collegiate summers when I wasn't militarily training. By your age I had been in the '73 Yom Kippur War and behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Rented one-bedrooms until my next employer threw money at me to buy, that I wouldn't get otherwise. Still there, having rented it when employed out-of-state for five years.

> there’s no central downtown, it’s just suburban sprawl divided by a bunch of shitty looking strip malls

Downtown comprises the police station, library and Valley high school opposite the now-Whole Foods strip mall - but yes.

>they don't actually recycle them...they're just dumping it into their trash dumpster.

Your airline should have their minimum bag-check time posted. Most domestics are 45 minutes before departure, which gives you the 20 security wait minutes for which I plan, plus five minutes before gate closure. If that makes you nervous, add 10 minutes to arrive at boarding start. Also depends on how fast you'll walk from bag check to security to gate.

My physicist uncle discovered a sub-atomic particle and I was a GI Bill-educated technologist. Set your sights as high as your ability. Do you have the grades and active duty experience to qualify to a better-regarded department?

>Stockton University has a pretty deep physics department

Had no idea! Published research?

Think more like the upstate rail-trails then High Line.

Also: SUNDAY at FIRST National Speedway! THRILL to the sounds of NITRO-burning funny cars! And from the coast JUNGLE JIM LIBERMAN and his 356 CHEVROLET!

Have you already thoroughly explored Pascack Valley's Revolutionary-era towns?

The Cape Coder, an on-the-dunes Victorian with an expansive lobby for the ceremony, a beautiful veranda for cocktails and a wrap-around porch for the meal while people dance in the interior space. The most romantic wedding I've attended.

>Essex County has a Nazi problem.

Always did. In New Jersey, (Judge) Perlman relied on (Newark's) mob boss and bootlegger extraordinaire Abner “Longie” Zwillman. In turn, Zwillman looked to his pal, ex-boxer and gym owner Nat Arno, for help in recruiting Jewish tough guys. The ever-generous Zwillman covered all costs incurred by these “Minutemen,” who saw themselves as the elite fighting force of the Revolutionary War.

>That’s a major road in Bloomfield. At 3:20am

Building set back far enough to avoid notice.

> your non-jewish neighbors are enraged by this cowardly act

Thank you. And thank you for keeping us safe.

> I just wanna leave with nothing

That's financially-dependent. If you either have reserves or income, then walk out with only the clothes you're wearing. Otherwise, you'll have to specify your circumstances so that we may give data-based advice.

Minimize other costs.

New year's drinking.

Thin-crusted veggie.

Track-head? Fond memories of my hometown's Erie Lakawana red station house with pot belly stove, sadly demolished for a post office that was also demolished. Also Irivington's tram to Olympic Park, closed after its rumble.

Rutherford's romantic Cafe Matisse.
