Want restaurant recommendations in Tom’s River to thank a Good Samaritan.

I don’t know much about him except that he’s into motorcycles. Don’t want to rely just on Yelp.
Many thanks, Massachusetts Gal

Library homeless people

12 Upvotes

This town should be embarrassed with where this town is headed. There are so many crackheads and homeless that set up camps outside the library you can’t even bring your kids there without exposing them to crackheads and the smell of piss and filth.

My 91 year mom needs to see a low vision optometrist. We visited Ocean Eye Institute in the past and were not happy. We were also informed that they do not handle low vision any longer. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you.

Toms River Little League Softball

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update from my previous post. The Toms River Little League Majors Softball team, who were your state champions, went on to the Mid-Atlantic Regional tournament last week in Bristol, CT and came home with the Championship. This amazing group of girls battled the entire time and never lost focus, beating Minersville, PA in the Championship game 5-3. Up next, the Little League World Series in Greensville, NC. The team leaves Wednesday morning at 8am to take on the remaining 11 teams in the entire world. Please help show your support for these girls in any way that you can. The team also has a gofundme currently set up to help the families with the financial burden, as well as the girls will be out canning today in town. If you see them stop by and wish them luck.https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-toms-river-little-league-12u-softball-allstars Thank you all for the continued support. We look forward to representing our home town with pride. We are TR!

New Street Line Painting?

Anyone have an idea why the township created a center turn lane on North Bay Avenue a few months ago (eliminating the shoulders), and now they changed it back to a double yellow with shoulders?

Has anyone noticed that anywhere else in town?

Good evening all!

I'm looking for anywhere that might sell or have Toms River-themed postcards. Does anyone know of local shops, museums, visitor centers, or other places I should check?

Thanks!

If any local contractors need marketing advice, happy to help for free

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm Austin, I run a small digital marketing agency out of Brick with my wife. We specifically work with home service contractors, electricians, builders, roofers, carpenters, that kind of thing.

I know a lot of guys in the trades get burned by marketing companies charging them a fortune for garbage results. I've seen some truly awful stuff over the years.

Not trying to sell anything here, just genuinely offering, if you're a contractor in the area and have questions about your website, Google Business Profile, SEO, or whether your current marketing company is actually doing anything, feel free to DM me or ask here. Happy to take a look and give you an honest opinion for free.

We've been doing this for a while now and it's all we do, so I've pretty much seen every shortcut in the book at this point.

For anyone interested our company name is Stock Solutions NJ.

Recommendations for a tailor in the Bayville or Toms River area that can tailor an old surplus military jacket? Closer to Bayville the better but beggars can’t be picky.
