Reply to Can someone explain the justification for having "private" beaches? It seems like access to natural attractions should be free. by SnooBooks4898
There is no reason for beaches to not be free for at least NJ residents. I used to live in San Diego and all the beaches are free and the lifeguards are full time careers. Not teenagers with a summer job. The beaches there are garbage free as well so when the state says “yeah but” I call bullshit.

Reply to Moving from NJ to California by bartowskii77
I moved to San Diego back in 2003. The drive there was an experience I loved. Would highly recommend. Although when I moved back 2 years later the drive back was the worst experience of my life and would not recommend. Hope this helped.

Back in the day. Across the street was a Roy Rogers and a bowling alley in a big empty parking lot. Also Caldor if I remember correctly was where Kohls is now.

The good ole days. Storm of ‘93 was heaven for me and my friends. Wish my daughter could experience that.

Same. My kid got two sleds for Christmas. So it’s my fault. Sorry.

There is a car in my area that the plate just says “FART”. In fact I think someone posted it on here a while back.

It’s called reading. A bunch of letters make a word. A bunch of words make a sentence. Left to right. Top to bottom. Good luck.

Wow. This couldn’t be more true. I enjoy when they are out running errands for an hour or two, so I can unwind or get some stuff done, but a whole night with an empty house makes me feel empty inside.

I bought my wife a new car in 2010. Paid it off in 2015. Bought myself a truck in 2017 I have 5 payments left. God I can’t wait to have no car payment.

I live 4 blocks behind WaWa on 37 and Garfield. You can hear them racing all the time. It’s amazing that it still goes on.

If the FHWA really cared about getting the message through then they wouldn’t have a problem with this. Nobody talks about the “buckle up, it’s the law”. The fact people are talking about “edgy” road sign messages, shows people are paying attention.
I applaud this effort personally. It may or may not make a difference overall, but at least they are trying. Shame on you FHWA.

Call the local news. Put the pressure on them. Bad press is their worst fear.

All joking aside. Depends what you are going for. I did the whole Retro, planet fitness thing in the past. I just did cardio as I do heavy lifting at work all day long. I just needed to hit a treadmill and what not. I also went at 5 am before work.
If you want to avoid crowds but can’t go early, a smaller non chain type gym might be for you. But you will pay more.

This is the correct answer. When it’s freezing cold out and it’s the week of Christmas I’ll throw the guy a 5. Other than that. Almost never.
