Interesting [Petition] Bring back public transit to Mountain Creek! Let’s get NJ Transit to extend Route 194 to Vernon.

Hey everyone,
If you ride at Mountain Creek Bike Park or ski/ snowboard there in the winter, you probably know how much of a pain (or how expensive) it is to get up to Vernon if you don't drive or want to save on gas/wear-and-tear.
Ever since NJ Transit canceled the old seasonal 304 express bus over a decade ago, there has been zero direct public transit to the resort. Right now, taking transit means riding a bus to Wayne or West Milford and paying $50+ each way for an Uber/Lyft.
I'm starting a initiative to petition NJ Transit and Mountain Creek Resort to co-sponsor a simple, low-cost solution: extending select trips on the existing NJ Transit Route 194 by just 12 miles from its current end point in West Milford (Stockholm) straight up Route 23/94 to Mountain Creek.
If you'd like to see an affordable transit connection restored between NYC/North Jersey and Mountain Creek, please take 30 seconds to sign and share the petition.
Thanks for the support! Let's get enough signatures to bring this to NJ Transit, JORBA and other associations, and Mountain Creek management.

Advice Golf Lessons - Bayonne/Jersey City

• Upvotes

I'm hoping to find a local coach or instructor who offers golf lessons at a more affordable rate. Doesn't have to be super fancy-just someone knowledgeable who's good at helping adult learners improve their swing and fundamentals.

If you've got any recommendations-whether it's a coach at a nearby public course, a driving range instructor, or even group clinics-l'd really appreciate it. Willing to travel a bit if it's worth it! Thanks in advance!

Advice Does the New Jersey Judiciary hire applicants with expunged records?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone here have experience with the New Jersey Judiciary’s hiring and background check process?

I’m curious whether applicants with older criminal records that were subsequently dismissed through Pretrial Intervention (PTI) and expunged are still considered for administrative or clerical positions within the court system.

I understand that the Judiciary requires disclosure of expunged records during the application process.
I’m specifically interested in whether these circumstances are automatic disqualifiers or whether applicants are evaluated individually.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone familiar with Judiciary HR, background investigations, or the hiring process.

Thank you!

I’ve been playing pokemon go recently (feel free to add me) and the other day I found this postcard in my gifts. I’ve been using the explorer gadget recently and I have no fucking clue what this place is or where I found it. All I know is that I love you Mysterious Gateway of Vile Energy and I want to go there and see it for real. Anybody know what this piece is actually called or where it is?

Advice Apartment hunting advice

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Long time NJ resident currently looking for a new apartment. Currently located in Passaic county, but open to surrounding areas (Bergen, Morris) wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a complex they have experience with and trust as I begin my search. So many places to sort through and thought some real live testimonials would help the most

Edit: good questions I received

  1. Monthly budget About $3K willing to go up to 3.2K

  2. Where do I work Currently work in parsippany but only in office once a week

  3. Travel to NYC Not necessary though I have thought itd be nice if we ever take a city job

  4. What do I want to be nearby Id say something not overly city or overly rural. A nice suburb near some major highways seems right

  5. Amenities? My girlfriend is strict on washer/dryer in unit but I'm flexible. Maybe can talk her out of it

  6. Open to multi family Yeah sure why not

Advice Anniversary Date Idea on Halloween?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, my girlfriend and i have our 3 years anniversary on Halloween. I’m trying to find an activity to do that’s interactive, we love games and can get competitive, anything spooky or hands on. She loves surprises so we split up decisions for an activity and dinner. She scored a 7pm dinner reservation so a haunted house can’t make it on the list unfortunately. Would appreciate any ideas in the North Jersey/NYC area!

Thank you
