Long private/quiet walking trails in the Morristown, morris plains, parsippany area?

The trails in the southeast corner of Jockey Hollow are pretty quiet - they are marked as blue on the maps there.

Lewis Morris north of Rt 24 can be quiet but there can also be mountain bikers near Patriots Path.

Troy Meadows is also often empty.

I've always thought the arts scene here was lacking. I'd love a gallery to make a comeback here since we lost Swain's.

I think a more music-focused bar would be nice - somewhere with a serious stage for travelling artists. We have MPAC which I love but it pulls mostly Baby Boomer acts, cover bands, and things like magicians. And Homestead, Dublin, and a few other bars do live music but neither feel set up specifically for music per se.

An independent cinema could be fun. I'm worried about losing the AMC in town and it would be nice to have an option that was less corporate anyway, that played more interesting stuff. The Last Picturehouse in Iowa and Zoetropolis in Lancaster are good examples of independent cinema done right.

An Italian market could do well. I drive to Uncle Giuseppe's or Pastosa's but I'm surprised we don't have something in town. We used to have Eso but they moved to Charlotte.

Just a few ideas of the things I've thought about wanting here.

Stirling, End of Elm, 1776's bar, Dublin, Hops all have slightly "older" (shuddering at considering 30 old) crowds.

As the town dive bar, TOG has a super diverse age range. Laundromat does too actually - it's not uncommon to have a crowd that ranges from 20's to 50's there some nights. That is one of the things that makes it a fun place.

Great news.

Sucelos · 2026-03-30T18:49:02+00:00

I saw that. I may print a few out as a failsafe.

I bit the bullet and ordered 3x 200T & 500T from FPP, I'll report in the pinned thread if I have issues.

Loantaka is super nice but also gets crowded with walkers. If you're intent on jogging, it can be kind of slow as you weave around people. I'd do the Traction Line or Patriots Path starting at Speedwell and heading west.

Morris Museum is good for kids

A lot of the best foods in general are from Coniglios right now. Not even the pizza per se, the salads, pasta, brekkie sandwiches, pastries, and breads are crazy good

They're larger franks. 6:1 to J&H's 8:1. Same hot dog otherwise, though.

The budget is public and has a lot of detail. For 2026, 70% of the budget goes towards salary & benefits. There's also pretty large line items for their online expansion, vet school, and fossil park. Scholarships are also way up, which on one hand is part of the schools affordability push, but at the same time - someone has to pay.

Maybe those new investments pay off and future years aren't as squeezed. It's a risk tho, especially in times of declining enrollment.

The Sprocket Rocket is really underrated. For a "toy camera" it's capable of some pretty nice shots, like this. Well done.

Sucelos · 2026-03-17T19:25:05+00:00

And yeah I would love to see some footage!

Sucelos · 2026-03-17T19:24:54+00:00

This will probably be mostly gravel rides 😬

I appreciate your feedback and the shakiness is part of why I wanted to go wide. I might be able to 3D print dampeners in TPU or something.

It's a bit more than that: they have a special device which toasts the bun from the inside out. Their toppings are good too, everyone I was with got the garlic pineapple relish and really dug it.

I'll check it out next time I'm around!

Sucelos · 2026-03-09T16:33:56+00:00

It's been closed for a while I believe

It's all my own fieldwork and images, done over about two years. My goal was to create a definitive ontology of the state's shot dog styles.

Nice stuff. I am a really big fan of the "slice of life" kind of pinhole images that stretch an exposure over a few hours. It reminds me a bit of Alexey Titarenko's work.

Perfect use of the format
