They didn't rank the top 50 in any order - you're either on the list or not, which I actually think makes more sense, since the separation among the top 50 is probably pretty small and within the margin for error of their algorithm.
Ha ha! In all seriousness this year it was true, as we got 24.6" of snow, while Philly got 11" and NYC got 7.5" - we just got lucky with several storms, as we're rarely more than a few inches different from NYC in particular.
I thank God to have Metuchen as a neighbor,
Edison's downtown, lol. Clara Barton section is kind of a downtown. We live a block from the Y, where my wife volunteers for some activities, and across from Tommy's Pond - great view of snow falling, lol.
Yeah, we called it Edison Fords. The 7, 8, and
I lived in Fords from '80-83 (high school years) on Crows Mills Rd just off NB ave. Decent little DT in and around Ford's Jewelers. Not sure what it looks like today, tho.
Do you think it would make top 10 if they thought you moved? 🤣🤣
My HS in SNJ was also split sessions with the middle school, so we were done around noon - our HS went from graduating classes of around 250 in the early 70s to 400 in 1980 (our class) and is up around 800 now - they built a 2nd HS around 15 years ago.
I'll ask, lol. I'm actually playing in a tournament tomorrow at Allaire State Park - one of the best courses in NJ, as it's quite narrow/heavily wooded, so it's a really good challenge. Wind affects frisbee flight even more than golf ball flight, given how much more surface area (relative to mass) is exposed to the winds - it really wreaks havoc, but it's also kind of fun, since you'll see some crazy, wild shots. DG tourneys are never cancelled for winds and rarely for rain, unless it's a serious deluge or a lot of lightning is expected (t-storms usually just mean delays). Do you actually ride on 30 or do you take more back roads?
It's just a 2nd large HS building on the same campus (Washington Twp HS in Gloucester Co.).
Mostly Route 561. A short part of 73 between Berlin and Hammonton to get back on 561. Then 563 past the AC Airport to 40 for the final part into AC. I don't take the 30 Bridge in AC any longer as it's just to dangerous.
I lived in Edison for twenty years. Lived closer to Fords, but went to Clara Barton school as a kid. Often rode our bikes to Roosevelt Park and downtown Metuchen. I remember when the Venture theatre was still there.
Thank you for not tagging him, but I enjoyed the laugh.
Wasn't quite as windy as expected, but some of that is likely that the course is heavily wooded and protected from the winds - we rarely saw gusts over 30 mph, unlike many stations reporting 40-50+ mph gusts. Had a decent day, finishing 2nd and in the money, although the guy who finished first, who's one of the best 50+ players in the region, actually shot 2 fantastic rounds and would've finished 2nd in the non-age-restricted pro field.
I almost tagged him, but was afraid he might cry. Actually, he's way off his troll game since he hasn't trolled this thread once, although the new junior T, who now seems to follow me around and make inane comments, is on the job, lol.
Had only one scary gust passing the AC Airport on 563 (Tilton Road). Also passed Blue Heron Golf Club and golfers were out in force. I know a lot of golf balls were lost on a day like yesterday.
Yeah, I assume there's a certain amount of "rotation" in these lists to get new eyeballs on them. Like I said earlier, these lists are always a bit hokey with the only real message being that the towns on the list are nice towns, but there are thousands of nice towns.
Played Blue Heron a few times after it opened, when I was playing a lot of golf all over NJ. Have a good friend in Mays Landing and we go to OCNJ almost every year for 2 weeks (plus occasional weekends off-season), so we get to Somers Point often - love Charlie's - didn't realize they open that early in the summer! Breakfast, I presume.
Yes the breakfast there is awesome. Fully served in a 16oz pint glass! 🤣
Drove through last week. What's with the signage for the town garage sale resembling the Metallica logo? That's cool.
As a huge Metallica fan, I have to report this to their trademark enforcement firm for infringement.
