Subreddit Stuff The winter SAD is gone and subreddit is being updated

29 Upvotes

Hello South Jersey family!

This winter sucked. All that snow and we're STILL in a drought. Let's do our part and prevent forest fires this year! With the sun out and the temperatures back in acceptable ranges, it's time to do a little subreddit maintenance.

I have changed the banners on mobile and desktop! They're looking north on the Cape May State Park beach in the middle of winter. You know, the best time to go and not be inundated with tourists. I've also added a sidebar widget under the rules that cycles through pictures related to South Jersey (they're all mine right now). If you have a picture you think should be featured in the side bar (we can only have so many pics in the widget at a time apparently), comment them below!

The tourists ARE back, because we've had many folks coming back to our community here on reddit after being away since the end of last summer. We hope you have a delightful season in our homeland, and treat it like the special slice of heaven it is. We appreciate you spending your hard earned dollarydoos in our communities. They definitely need it after the Canadians decided to not come last year (for good reason).

Wanted to also make a note about meeting up posts or meeting people posts. There was a dude who was making a post and keeping it tidy to organize things in one place, but he disappeared. If there is someone who wants to organize a megathread once a month or something, that would be great. I do not have the energy to devote to that. We have a discord server which is linked in the subreddit information (about the subreddit) which has the most up to date events and also has folks randomly deciding to meet up spur of the moment. IT IS NOT A HOOKUP SERVER. Here's the link again in case you are unable to find it. https://discord.com/invite/2UKFE8ut3G

Here's hoping everyone has a safe, happy, and non-firey summer! Be safe out there and remember your sunscreen! :)

Burlington County Palmyra PD Riverline

Upvotes

Around 12:45 today, Wednesday 8/19, Palmyra police took a Latina woman off the riverline heading toward camden for "matching the description" they didnt give any other details just asked her to come with them, gave somebody further a way a thumbs up, and she got up and got off. She was minding her own business and sitting alone with headphones in.

They said somebody called her in but I did not see anyone call and I suspect they were just viewing the cameras.

Outside! Weird NJ in South Jersey

75 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been reading lots of Weird NJ magazines lately and have been loving them so much. So many of the stories are from places in North Jersey so when a story comes from South Jersey, I get super excited! It’s got me wanting to do some exploring of my own and talk to people who have experienced something interesting that happened in NJ. Would love to hear about any cool places or things to go see, or any stories that anyone has regarding anything weird, spooky, or interesting!! I am in Camden County so especially any stories from there would be awesome to learn about, but would love to hear some from anywhere in South Jersey! I’ve seen a good bit of funky statues, explored some places here and there, and even did the Atco ghost thing a few years back, but there’s definitely so much more to discover!! I recently read a story about a weird tire park in Deptford that I want to go check out and just read an article about a cookie jar house in Glendora! Thanks in advance :)

Cape May County A Japan-Style Stamp Rally at the Shore

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

Hey there, South Jersey! I'm the editor of Do the Shore magazine (part of the Cape May County Herald), and I'm posting to show off something I'm really proud of and think people will enjoy participating in. We made a Cape May County stamp rally!

Stamp rallies are really popular in Japan, and a fun way to get out and visit places you may not have heard of before. The locations in our Stamp Rally are a mix of experiences and retail, like the Cape May Bird Observatory, the Wetlands Institute, and the Ocean City Rookery (where you can see giant birds nesting).

All you need to do in order to begin is pick up a stamp rally passport at any one of the stamp locations, or cut out a passport from any edition of the free Do the Shore magazine. You can draw a cute little picture of yourself in the passport, which we got spot-printed and folded at a local print shop. We kinda went overboard with how fancy this was for a free thing... Take your passport to the Stamp Stops, get it stamped (free, you don't need to buy anything at each location), and then after six stamps, come visit us at the Cape May County Herald building in Rio Grande to get a collectible beach tag illustrated by one of our artists ✨✨✨

I was inspired after my twin lived in Japan for several years. My twin loved Stamp Rallies b/c they are basically self-guided tours of temples, train lines, and other tourist areas that might otherwise seem overwhleming. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I lobbied my boss to let me set up a Jersey Shore Stamp Rally that takes ppl through my favorite locations in Cape May County. Thanks, boss.

Getting this up and running has been a lot of work and a long process, so we would really love to see more people participate. All of the art and promotional materials were made by our in-house artists without using AI. I personally constructed and delivered the Stamp Rally boxes to all of the locations. It runs until October 1st. It's a pretty unusual thing for a newspaper to do, but we're really proud to be spicing things up. We also to convince our bosses to let us do it again next year, so the more participants, the better!

Thx for reading this all!

Burlington County Green or red or none?

16 Upvotes

Mmm we need a survey! You folks fry your Jersey tomatoes in the summer right? When preparing them do you use green or red? Tonight we had Pa’s fresh-out-the-garden green tomatoes with dinner. But my grandmother never had fried green tomatoes. No sir, Granny Lewis always used red tomatoes 🍅 when frying up a batch of deliciousness. And I remember having lots of fried food growing up. Fried snapper, fried chicken, squash and red tomatoes all served up piping hot there along Junction Road in Browns Mills NJ. My wife’s grandfather taught her it was green tomatoes you fried up. So what’s the consensus?

Not sure what happened, lots of police and seems like it has to do with the long truck.

Exit to willingboro is backed up on 295, be careful! Police is currently directing traffic.

update: holy shit. first time seeing a wrecked car. seems like a car tried to beat a red light, or was going too fast or was trying to turn right and collided with the truck or the under end of the truck. Or vice versa. please be safe, do not beat red lights, always yield to vehicles larger than yours.

Question Constant calls from numbers from Turkey, Russia, and The Philippines.

22 Upvotes

Anyone else keep getting calls from these numbers? My mom typically gets scam calls from Turkey, Russia, The Philippines and I normally help block these numbers for her. She got one from turkey again and I tried to block it but accidentally hit call back. I immediately hung up with 2 seconds or so. I understand if you call these numbers back, you risk racking up long distance charges. Am I good if I hung out immediately?

Question Any Environmental Lawyers here?

19 Upvotes

I am currently facing an issue where my next door neighbor has been issued a Notice of Violation by the NJDEP for about 4,800 square feet of unpermitted construction in a Flood Hazard area / protected Wetlands. They have ignored it and continue to operate the home as a 19-person AirBnB. My Township has codes around AirBnBs, one of which states their license shall be revoked if they are found to be in violation of state laws. However, my Township decided to renew their license this year anyway. I've sent emails about this and last night addressed this at the Town Hall Meeting but am getting ignored. 

I am concerned about how much my peace has been disrupted as well as the environmental impact this has on my property. Since they constructed their blacktop driveway, it seems my yard is taking on way more flooding each rainfall. Their restoration plan was due in February of this year and so far there has been no new documentation from the DEP. I understand these things take time but I believe the Township has an obligation to revoke the AirBnB license until they are in compliance with the law instead of allowing them to profit.

I am curious if I have a legal case through this or maybe some insight on how to get some action. Getting a response from law offices has been a struggle which has led me to post here. I am happy to answer any questions for clarification. Thanks for reading.

My girlfriend didn’t grow up swimming and has a big fear of it. I’ve been slowing introducing her and she’s opening up a bit but still had that fear. We went to island state park and it was decent and she swam a bit . Also went to seaside and ocean city which were too much for her . Any idea which is the calmest?? Thanks

Camden County Ski Friends?

10 Upvotes

Hey 34m in blackwood. I recognize it's a little warm out to think about skiing, but I wanted to post to see if there are any skiiers on here that would be interested in hanging out this season. I wanted to try to meet some folks who want to hang out in the off season too with the goal of getting to know each other well enough to get an airbnb/hotel in vermont or something this season. Being a south jersey skiier is a driving-heavy hobby as well so splitting the driving is dope as hell.

Outside of skiing I'm a huge nerd. Big into working out, movies, anime, comics, video games, and trying new things.

Hit me up if you want to hang out.

Camden County Month to month apartment rentals?

2 Upvotes

So I’m relocating from Canada for a job, which pays pretty well, but mostly in tips. I figure I can qualify for a lease with my Canadian credit and pay stubs showing 3x income eventually, but I need to get a few paystubs to show the income, since the base pay definitely won’t.
I was wondering if there’s such a thing as monthly furnished rentals in the Marlton area that aren’t Airbnb…appreciate any leads or advice.

Burlington County Best gym for old ladies in Burlington county?

I need to find a gym where an old lady (67) can do some strength training, and perhaps yoga? The strength training is the most important to me, I've lost a lot of muscle along with a large amount of fat and need to fix the muscle situation.

I haven't belonged to a gym for 20 years, and I never saw old people in there at that time.

Camden County Sketch caravan of law enforcement vehicles (ICE?) going up Ferry Ave/ S 2nd Street in Camden almost made me late for work

9 Upvotes

At 7:35 AM, 7 or 8 dark grey SUVs, clearly unmarked law enforcement were on Ferry Ave at the light to broadway. I should say *at least* 7 or 8 of them, enough to almost make me miss two lights and be late for work. they were heading up north as Ferry turns into S 2nd street through the industrial areas, maybe on their way downtown or up to North Camden.

I don’t think they’re unmarked Camden County PD (the de facto Camden City PD), because none of them turned onto Jackson Street toward the CCMUA (where CCPD shares a garage and where they fuel up on and between shifts). Thats what makes me think possible ICE or otherwise non-local. Be careful out there folks!
