Viewing Fireworks Along Midtown Direct
July 3rd, 2008 Categories: Commuting to NYC, NJ Events
July 4th has always been one of my favorite days to get together with friends and family and answer the annual question:
Where are the best places to view July 4th fireworks in the neighboring towns along the Midtown Direct Train route?
Thanks to the internet, here are all of the links to help you find your own favorite place:
One of our best July 4th memories was a post-party car ride from Tewksbury as we drove East on Route 78 just before the Route 24 cut-off and watched the fireworks from four different towns as we crested the Watchung Mountains.
Have a wonderful July 4th.

Springfield Avenue Bridge in Summit Ribbon Cutting
July 2nd, 2008 Categories: NJ Events, Summit Living
Mayor Jordon Glatt officially opened the Springfield Avenue Bridge in Summit, New Jersey with town officials and local merchants participating including our own Keller Williams Realty.
As onlookers prepared for the official ribbon cutting ceremony, we were treated with a brief comical show as debris from a passing truck spilled onto the roadway.

Deer Hunt Closes South Mountain Reservation
January 26th, 2008 Categories: Millburn & Short Hills Living, NJ Events, South Orange Living
South Mountain Reservation is Closed Between Millburn and West Orange for a Deer Hunt.
Don’t plan on driving through the South Mountain on Tuesdays and Thursdays from January 29-February 28, 2008. Trained Marksmen Will Be On Site to take care of the “Deer Problem.”
One of my fondest memories growing up in Short Hills was going to the Deer Paddock with my parents just off South Orange Ave between Old Short Hills Road and Brookside Drive. I loved to see “Bambi” and feed he and his brothers and sisters.
Now the deer are everywhere. The Essex County Deer Management Program is “taking care of the situation.” Needless to say, neighbors in Millburn, Short Hills, Maplewood, South Orange and West Orange are taking strong stands…on both sides.
What do you think?
ABC NEWS did a piece on Sharpshooters Protecting the Short Hills Mall (which is miles away from The Hunt)

SOPAC: Jay Johnson:The Two and Only Tonight
January 26th, 2008 Categories: Millburn & Short Hills Living, NJ Events, South Orange Living
Run, Don’t Walk, to see Jay Johnson: The Two and Only at SOPAC
Tonight, Saturday, January 26th at 8 PM
Short Hills resident Dan Whitten won a Tony in 2007 for Best Special Theatrical Event for this one-person ventriloquism show he helped produced.
Whitten was also the lead producer for Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris which was the longest running new off-Broadway show of 2006-2007.
I had the pleasure, thanks to Dan, to see Jersey Boys before it opened!!! It deserved each one of its four 2006 Tony Awards, especially the one for Best Musical.
There are still tickets available for tonight’s performance of Jay Johnson: The Two and Only online at SOPAC
