When Fort Monmouth closed, Route 35 & 36 businesses (especially 36) took it very hard, 36 became pretty depressing in general. Hopefully this will spark life back to the area.
I think there is no question of that. Especially that strip just prior to the light where the McDonald's is. I imagine that becomes a hot spot of sorts. Car traffic will be crazy though. Not conducive to foot traffic.
Would think NetFlix did due diligence here.
True. I live within walking distance of Fort Monmouth. When Fort Monmouth was open, it could take 10-15 minutes to go the distance of about 1/10 mile during the evening rush hour (from Shrewsbury Ave to the Main Gates). When the main gate was closed, (cut through to Oceanport), traffic was even worse. 10-15 minutes might not seem like a lot, but when you see people on foot covering more distance over the same amount of time, you get the idea how bad the traffic is/was. It still takes almost 10 minutes to cover that distance during the evening rush just due to the amount of cars on the road, and the explosion of high density residential building in the area.
I'm just happy all those high-density developments got turned down. That was a smart move by the town. That area is already a bitch to get through.
Ft. Monmouth was more of an engineering center, not much toxic stuff going on. Now the Evans area in Wall was reported to have had some issues
The field house is now the Fort Athletic club
In theory yes. In reality, there is little that can be done there to improve traffic flow due to geographic limitations
In the early days of BRAC there were rumors of RU, Monmouth and Brookdale all inquiring. Don't know how far it got.
NJCU has a buiilding in the Oceanport section of the fort. I heard Brookdale will be taking it over.
Whats worse
Sharing Netflix is very common now to the point that it almost seems ok to do, but it is not
Didn’t go but a friend grabbed a growler and it was an excellent lager. The brewmaster/founder of Birdsmouth is the original brewmaster from Kane. Can’t wait for golf at sun eagles followed by lagers at birdsmouth.
That's precisely what I wanted to hear. I saw somewhere that they pride themselves on the lagers/ales...which would be perfect. I was at Source in Colts Neck the other day and it was all IPA and sours I think. One decent stout and ZERO lagers or ales. That blows my mind...., especially this time of year.
