Eddie V's to bring a slice of nostalgia to Princeton's dining scene

1 week ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

A supper club has the feel of a bygone era. Think of our grandparents’ time and Bobby Darin, or that sweet, continuous camera shot scene in “Goodfellas” when Henry walks Karen inside the Copacabana.

This is already found at Eddie V.’s in both Cherry Hill and Paramus, but now a third location is opening in Central Jersey.
How the high cost of living is reshaping family life in New Jersey

1 week ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

Is it the money? Is it the melting pot? It's both. There is a huge, growing trend happening in New Jersey. Increasingly, families are living in multigenerational households, where three generations, and sometimes even more, reside under the same roof.

This means 4.46% of Garden State homes have at least three generations living there.
The new gaming space at Borgata, where East meets Atlantic City

I have a childish confession. When I read about a new gaming space opening at Borgata in Atlantic City, I had the urge to go and imagine I was James Bond in an exotic location. An exotic Asian location. It’s a newly introduced 51-table gaming area inside the casino that is meticulously designed as if you were lost in the heart of Asia. They have dealers working this space who can speak Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. It’s 25,000 square feet of being immersed in another world, and I’m here for it.
Fate of a cherished red oak hangs in the balance with school closure in Lakewood

1 week ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

There are flesh and blood people, good, even heroic people, who live their whole lives and never once make the news. Then how does a tree do it? To help close a budget gap, Lakewood decided to close an elementary school and sell off the land. The Ella G. Clarke school is an upper-grade elementary with a long history, and whose students will now be swallowed up through consolidation with other schools in the district.
The bottom of the barrel in NJ: 3 counties flunked ‘best places to live’ test

2 weeks ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

A few days back, I wrote an article about niche.com’s ranking of the best New Jersey counties in which to live. Somerset was number one, followed by Bergen and Middlesex. They based their rankings on a number of factors like job opportunities, cost of living, quality of schools, safety, etc.. Categories were graded elementary school style with a letter grading system like A’s, B’s, C’s and so on. The problem when you list all 21 counties to see who’s best? Someone’s gotta be dead last.
Community voices mixed feelings on proposed storage facility near Diamond Nation

2 weeks ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

Does it feel like New Jersey is rapidly becoming a wasteland of warehouses and storage facilities and not much more? That’s hyperbolic, of course, but there’s certainly a germ of truth to it. A sports complex in Hunterdon County is looking for some changes and it’s not a new mascot or fresh uniforms. It’s storage units. A whole bunch of them. Diamond Nation in Raritan Township is an impressive sight. It is the largest turf baseball complex in the United States.
From parks to schools, Monmouth County shows off charm in new rankings

The other day, I wrote about the three best counties to live in New Jersey according to a ranking by niche.com. While Monmouth County didn’t quite make the top three, it’s still pretty impressive that it came in at number six. They based this on a list of factors, such as crime rates, quality of public schools, job potential, and cost of living. From Niche: “In Monmouth County, most residents own their homes. In Monmouth County, there are a lot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks.
A look back at ice cream trucks and the treats we still crave

2 weeks ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

According to a study done by Unilever's Good Humor, nearly 70% of Americans acknowledge that they see fewer ice cream trucks in their neighborhood now compared to their childhood. It makes sense when you think about it. Higher gas prices. Fewer kids playing outside today than ever before. But it also makes us sad. It was such a part of childhood.
Living legend Diana Ross coming back to NJPAC this year

2 weeks ago | nj1015.com | Jeff Deminski

When someone is a living legend like Diana Ross, you might think you know everything there is to know about them. Well, see if you know this. Did you know she grew up in the Brewster-Douglass Projects, a low-income housing facility in Detroit, and that Smokey Robinson grew up in the same neighborhood? Smokey made it first, and he introduced Diana Ross to kingmaker Berry Gordy. Did you know that the all-girl group formed with Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard was at first called The Primettes?
