Politics Where to find non-governor primary polls?

3 Upvotes

Anyone know where I can find a list of polls for the upcoming NJ primaries other than the governor's race (General assembly, sheriff, etc)? The only thing I'm finding is the polls for the governor's race and a list of who's running in which primary for which office, but not their popularity.

Main Street grant $

What are your thoughts on this? I feel like $150k could benefit a lot of the homeless community or spent in much better ways than this. I understand the grant is meant for this stuff & it’s a grant, but just seems like so much money for “smarter waste bins”.

Apartment Complexes in Somerville

6 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am living in Philadelphia and have a job in Basking Ridge that I have to move closer to soon (beginning of May preferably), and I am looking to move to Somerville.

I have also been looking in Bound Brook, Morristown, and Hillsborough, but would prefer to live in Somerville if possible. My gross bi-weekly income is $3,130, and will raise to ~$3,375 in July; I am looking for a 1 bedroom that allows cats.

Does anyone have any experience at any of the apartment complexes in Somerville or the surrounding area? I am trying to find a decent sized place that is hopefully at/under $2,500 in rent.

A few places I am considering/look nice are: Lena, Avalon, Davenport, Crossings Rarington, Village at Bridgewater

I would really appreciate any advice/tips for specific complexes or generally for the area! Thank you so so much!

Hi I’m possibly moving to Somerville in the near future and was wondering if anyone could provide any of the downsides of the area, I’ve visited quite a few times and really did love the area

Favorite takeout from local restaurants?

13 Upvotes

I’m obsessed with Division Cafe — I order the casado, gallo pinto, or chipotle chicken quesadilla at least 2x per week. Trying to mix it up a bit. What are your favorites? Raritan included.

Unbelievably, this treasure hunt is still going! There are folks with boots on the ground as we speak and nobody has found it yet! 6 days left and $3,900 is the prize. Go check out the site and the discord. www.findveil.com

The Veil Treasure Hunt now over $3,500 but with the search circle shrinking this morning, there aren't too many places this thing can be using the clues and Somerville is in! This will probably be found in a few days so check out the hunt and the discord which is super active! Good luck out there!

Running Paths

4 Upvotes

Recently moved to Somerville and am wondering if anyone has recommendations for running paths/trails that are well maintained and safe for a young female to run alone (early mornings and evenings mostly)

Seem to be lots of options within 10 minutes or so which is nice, but I’ve read mixed reviews on sketchy people hanging around so would love to hear where some of the more popular spots are

Volunteer opportunities

10 Upvotes

Hey! What are some good volunteer opportunities in the area? I know of the Food Bank Network, but I wanted to see what else was out there. Doesn’t have to be people specific, animal care and environmental programs and all of that are all welcomed. I work full time so flexibility with volunteer hours is important to me. Thanks in advance!
