Here’s the latest information put out by the Township of Livingston regarding the impact of our current snow noreaster and our regular recycling and trash pick-up.

The Friday residential solid waste collection will be done on either Monday (March 1st) or Tuesday (March 2nd).

Weather conditions permitting, commingled recyclables in Zone 5 will be picked up on Saturday, February 27th.
If you drive by the old CompUSA building on Route 10 eastbound in East Hanover, you’ll see that a new Furniture Outlet has taken up the space.
It’s now open for business!
It’s not a branded store like the one next to Babies R Us further down on Route 10 west. It seems generic. . . If you’ve been inside, please post a comment and let us know what kind of furniture they sell inside?
Of course the question is no one is buying new homes these days to fill up with new furniture and if banks have effectively stopped handing out home equity loans, who’s going to be buying new furniture? We’ll see I guess . . .
Barnes & Noble of Livingston became bigger and better. It now resides in the Livingston Mall as a new superstore retail location.
But at the same time, the Barnes & Noble on Route 10 off the Livingston circle is dead.
Completely empty, just waiting to be taken over or space split up and made into a strip mall of little stores and boutiques. My guess is that someone like Whole Foods could come take over the location and do nicely.
It is so sad to see another restuarant option go out of business…this time the victim is Hale & Hearty Soup.
We never got a chance to try out the NYC-originated super-expensive priced soup joint. I’m sure you’ve noticed too like us that every time we drove by the store was either empty or closed (at odd hours when you’d think a restaurant would be open).
If you recall, this is the cursed spot where Beyond Bagels used to be.
Wonder what other retail concept would work in this somewhat awkward location right off Livingston Circle on Route 10 Westbound.
Hope someone thinks of something gooooooood to replace Hale & Hearty…something a little heartier I guess! (sorry, couldn’t resist that one)
Is it me or does this winter feel like it is not going away anytime soon?
Have you had enough snow yet?
In fact, there’s a chance to get up to 10 inches of snow this week if you check the local weather forecast — even after the 10+ inches we got over the last two weeks!
Does that mean we’re going to have another snow day on Friday?
I finally figured out why our winter is in full force this year in Livingston and around town.
Luckily we have a super accurate weather prediction tool / expert right here in Essex County. You can go for a consult yourself anytime too!
