Group hopes to heighten awareness of 10 sites in need of preservation funding.
A state historic preservation advocacy group released its list of the most endangered New Jersey sites Wednesday, detailing damage, some Superstorm-Sandy related, that has put 10 landmarks at risk for demolition. Properties that were classified as the "most endangered" have architectural and historic integrity with an identified threat and Preservation New Jersey, the organization that compiled the list, felt their inclusion could potentially help legislators realize the importance in preserving them. Included on the list is Morris County's Glen Alpin property in Harding Township. The Gothic Revival mansion is threatened by a need for sustainable use, according to Preservation New Jersey. The Morris Canal Rockaway River Aqueduct, in …
The facility just opened on Chimney Rock Road in Bridgewater.
It is the largest indoor paintball arena both in New Jersey and the whole east coast—and it has come to Bridgewater. Hardcore Paintball Arena opened its doors officially on Chimney Rock Road Friday, with Staten Island residents Harvey Schneider and Angelo DiMaggio at the helm. “We think this is a great town, and we are trying to draw kids and adults of all ages,” Schneider said. “We tell people to try it and see what it’s about.” Schneider said he actually got into this business because of his son, Vincent, who liked playing paintball. “We played at one indoor arena, but mostly outdoor ones,” he said. “I talked with my business partner, and we decided we needed to change that.” And the business stayed in the family because Schneider’s …

Bridgewater establishment joins 28 others who sold 'well-brand spirits' for premium liquor prices.
Liquor was seized from Ruby Tuesday and about 30 other bars and restaurants throughout New Jersey Wednesday.

Who’s NOT planning a BBQ this weekend? Here are new ideas for keeping your costs down. Sponsored by Home Depot.
Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbecue experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. Here's their tips on how to save money on your Memorial Day feast. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead — say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of Barbeque America on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled rib eye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak. Just marinate it or brine for one or two days and then cook long and slow on the barbecue grill to break down tissues but maintain moisture. “You need to include an acid in the marinade, perhaps juice, vinegar or soy sauce, but …

The Rotary Club of Bridgewater and Bound Brook asked for $2,400 to pay for police and DPW.
Although they agree that it will be a beneficial event for the residents themselves, members of the Bridgewater Township Council were hesitant to agree to a $2,400 cost for aiding with the planned street fair being held by the Rotary Club of Bridgewater and Bound Brook. In the end, the council opted not to approve the waiver request. Elly Ezra, of the Rotary Club, spoke before the committee at Thursday’s meeting, and requested that Bridgewater pay for two police officers to keep the street closed during the fair, and for public works workers to remove trash bags once the event is over. The street fair is planned for June 1 on East Main Street in front of TD Bank Ballpark, and this is the first time it is being held. “We got permission from…
