what about the plastic animals?

At the Car Wash

My car is shiny and clean thanks to the car wash in Northvale.

All is Quiet at the Stuckey Bowl

Once or week or so I go by the Stuckey Bowl, the bowling alley used in the TV series "Ed".  I've never bothered to take a picture until yesterday.  The Stuckey Bowl, aka Northvale Lanes, is now closed.  It is in Northvale, New Jersey, home to the La Casa Formosa deli and their awesome Big Mac Dino.

Spider Web

Saw this enormous spider web while walking along old 9W yesterday afternoon.  It must be several feet across.  I didn't see the spider.  Then again the web looks pretty old so maybe the spider found a new home.

Grover Cleveland Rest Area

On the drive back from Philadelphia last week I stopped at the Grover Cleveland rest area on the New Jersey Turnpike.  I knew Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.  What I was surprised to learn is that he was Mayor of New York State!

Good news!  The Shake Shack has opened for the season!  Limited hours, but I may have to stop by for a taste this weekend.

Last summer's visit.
