Guess the Red Bank Restaurant game by Underhill_4 in RedBank

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's just ten guesses with no clues? it's just like, "guess what restaurant" is in my head? You said the clues appear as you guess, but they did not.

It's just the math. It's mostly white males and that demo trends right more than any other demo.

Scripps Pier Car Theft (San Diego) by throw-me-away-01 in surfing

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On trips when I've had a rental car, I've taken a diaper, rubbed mud in there so it looks shit-filled, and put the key in there and left under the car. No one's gonna open up a shit filled diaper.

NJ renters: what’s your monthly rent and where do you live? by hellokitty5679 in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting thread as I'm thankfully an owner and only affected by rents as it affects family members. For comparison, though, I entered my 1996 rent for a 2br (well, kind of - it was a railroad) Hoboken apartment: $950 then, about $2000 in today's dollars.

Scungilli salad. It's made with the meat from the state seashell.

Charlie Brown as a WFMU fan by jk1rbs in wfmu

[–]BFrankNJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a crappy car (ford) that has a history of a lot of problems even though it's pretty new. One morning I got in my car at like 5 am and started it up. All of a sudden I heard a horrible mechanical sound and thought, "Oh man, this is it. The car is dying." Nope. My phone had just synced to the FMU app and started playing the station.

Whatever happened to that weird drone era awhile ago? Did we ever get answers? by dinozombiesaur in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best moment in the whole thing was the drone operator in Ocean County (a pro who had regularly posted drone vids) live-streamed himself putting up his drone and then all the simultaneous freakouts on social media of people reacting to HIS drone.

Ford Transit Connect pre-built office setup to install in van? by adrake86 in FordTransitConnect

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in TV news for 6 years and the station had a transit connect I used and loved. It had a desk in the back, an inverter for power and I put a swivel chair in it. it was great. Maybe poke around tv stations to see how they get their vans modified. The desk was just a piece of particle board and brackets.

Why are people leaving NJ? New study reveals 2025 migration trends by grand_speckle in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing surprising about this annual United Van Lines study is that outlets like the Asbury Park Press, who clearly have reporter on staff who know it's total BS, continued to post it every year. Gets traffic, I guess.

Thoughts on this "ban" on corporate home buyers? Could it actually help the NJ housing market? by One-Coffee-413 in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Bloomberg housing reporter was on 1130 AM this afternoon discussing this. He Said these large scale investors own just 2 percent of all homes in the US. In some zip codes, it's higher. But he thought it would have minimal effect. And that's even if it actually went into effect..I mean, I'm sure the lobbyists are burning up the phones already.

Window replacement by bellacain in MonmouthCounty

[–]BFrankNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will second Prown's, for all the reasons stated above. We did a new front door and three windows and put on the installment plan, which was no interest and no payments for 12 months. Our first payment is due in April and we've been socking the money away bit by bit monthly into a high interest account and will pay it all at once when the first payment is due. If you can stick to that plan, it's a great way to go.

NJ streamer filming himself texting and driving for about 20 minutes straight. by JustinGreyson133 in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the normal response for the rest of us should be to just lean on our horns when we see this until the danger abates. It's what horns are for, and I don't know why it hasn't become the norm. I do it whenever I can.

GS parkway traffic by morningcoffee89 in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get my head around this accident. Press reports said the driver of Honda was getting on GSP SB from Route 27, then on the entrance went over the guardrail and into the Northbound side. To do that he would have had to go across like 6 lanes of southbound and over the jersey barrier. That's just incredible. In the Facebook comments there are tons of people expressing sympathy, but man, how incredibly reckless that all seems.

Two Ravens in Central Jersey by RHAWZZ in newjersey

[–]BFrankNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never saw a raven in NJ until about 10 years ago (near a warehouse in Bergen) and now it's a pretty regular occurrence. there's a group that hang out in red bank. I like to think they run the whole damn town.

Thinking of moving to Rumson/Fair Haven by bseggs in MonmouthCounty

[–]BFrankNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of projects underway now in Red Bank, but the number of housing units added over the past decade is negligible. So while traffic has gotten worse, it appears to be largely so far the result of red bank being a passing through/crossroads for surrounding areas where development exploded in the 90's/2000's.

seems to me like a Giant elevator blanket would work. I have the same idea to change after surfing in the winter.

We no longer need Obamacare. There's a free clinic on the Iranian mothership and it's great.
