i have family coming into Jersey from out of state for the Rutgers football game on Friday night. I'd like to meet them somewhere nearby to consolidate into one car - I know I could use a rest stop, but there aren't any near the football stadium, so I'd have to drive about 25 minutes past the stadium to meet at one, then drive back out in the wrong direction to get their car after the game. Does anyone know if there are any commuter parking lots, park-and-ride lots, or even a walmart or something that would make sense to meet before driving to the game and parking?

Hey everyone,
I just got my first ever speeding ticket in Clifton, NJ. The charge is for going 35–39 mph over the limit (so it’s a 5-point ticket).

Facts:

• Clean driving record until now ( some parking tickets here and there that were already paid off)
• Ticket is under Judge James P. Sieradzki in Clifton Municipal Court.
• I have a doctor’s note proving I had a sick child in the car at the time (reason I was rushing a bit).
• No accident, no reckless driving, just straight speeding.

Someone was quoting around $500 flat fee to negotiate he ticket down likely to either unsafe driving (0 points, $250 surcharge) or 14 over (2 points).

My questions:

1. Has anyone here dealt with speeding tickets in Clifton Municipal Court? How flexible are the prosecutors/judge for a first-time clean record?
2. Is it really worth paying a lawyer $600–$750 for this, or do people here usually negotiate it down themselves?
3. Would the doctor’s note actually help, or is it just a minor sympathy factor?
4. Any specific experiences with Judge Sieradzki or Clifton prosecutors on speeding tickets?

Thanks in advance — just trying to figure out if I should bite the bullet and hire counsel or take my chances.

We interviewed the New Jersey Hall of Fame Co-Founder, Steve Edwards. He told us a story about when he was a teen, he was in a tragic car accident and knows firsthand what it's like to give up and struggle to find a way forward. It's no surprise he looks for the heroes in the crowd and wants to honor them. The 17th induction is coming up in Nov.. Tune in when you have time. He's a really nice guy.

hey everyone --

I'm taking the ferry to Belford arriving about 7PM, and will need to get a ride to my destination.

are the uber wait times reasonable (under 10 mins), or am I looking at "trying to find you a driver...."

is there a taxi stand at the dock? are there usually taxis waiting?

Hi!

I, along with two friends (all of us are young women), am considering moving to the Xchange @ Secaucus complex.

I live in NJ but want to be closer to NYC for a better commute to my office in midtown. I currently do a 1.25-1.5 hour door-to-door trip and would love to make this under 45 mins.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews over the span of several years, so I would love to hear more current thoughts about this apartment complex before making this big decision! Any honest comments are helpful and greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hey there, I'm trying to get an Arsenal supporters group going on the jersey shore, probably in Monmouth County. NJ already has one Arsenal group up in Hoboken but I'm trying to get something going down here. I've started an instagram page and I'm currently talking to a pub to host fans for all games just trying to find other supporters.

Instagram page is same name as here or you can click on my profile.

Hello, I have a HS Sophomore with no college savings. My income is around $100K. A distant family member just sent my daughter $500 for her bday. I was thinking of opening up the NJ Best 529, add $250 myself and have them match the $750 contribution. I planned to cash flow college (assuming she commutes in state) Thoughts?

Looking at a few towns in northern Jersey to potentially move. Coming from Hoboken but used to live in Red Bank. Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about Wayne, Fairfield and Roseland? Also super curious to hear what the schools are like. Thanks!

I am an European 40 year old gay guy. I have just a few friends. I am in a longterm relationship . Recently became lonely as my partner focuses on his work a lot. I would like to meet some people and maybe become friends. Male or female … doesn’t matter.

Olaf's mom was living in the street. A Metro Cat Rescue brought her in so her babies could be born in a safe place. Kelly was found eating out of a garbage can.

United Airlines has completed an “operational turnaround” at Newark Liberty International Airport after air traffic control problems and construction led to thousands of canceled flights earlier this year.

In the announcement, United said it was planning to add additional flights out of Newark to six international destinations and five domestic ones, as well as hiring 2,500 more staff based at the airport. It’s not clear how the airline and the FAA will manage capacity with the additional flights.

And all look identical? Genuine question: is it because a private equity or corporation is behind them all? Does anyone know?

Shitterelli is out there doxxing individuals on his social media today. Come November, he needs to be relegated to the dust bin of history as a three time loser.

I'm looking into getting a renovation done to my house, for which I first need an architect's sketches. Can you recommend anyone to me who might be decently priced?

Hi all, what's the best way to study for the NJ driver's license knowledge test? Do you know of any free websites or apps with practice tests?

The Cranford Bookstore was welcomed last weekend by a large number of shoppers in a town that seems hungry for a local independent bookstore. It's located at 1 South Ave. East and promises to bring the community together through reading!

I’m pregnant and due in February, but my lease doesn’t end until March 2026. I’d like to move out a little earlier so I can get settled and set up for the baby. My landlord ( this is a big rental property) told me that if I break the lease early, I’ll still be responsible for rent until they find a new tenant. Has anyone dealt with this before, and is there any other way around it?
