REVIEW: Jump On In, Boonton NJ [with photos]

Posted by admin on Aug 28, 2010 in New Jersey

Jump On In is one of the latest bounce house places for kids that have opened up in the area.  Kids love these places and they’re celebrating their anniversary this month too apparently.

The Boonton NJ location is a bit hidden amidst a set of commercial buildings, but it’s relatively close to the exit off Interstate 287.  Just take Mrytle north about 1 miles and then it’s a quick left onto Fulton and you’ll veer left into the commercial zone.  85 Fulton St, Boonton NJ.

The facility is not huge, but it’s big enough if your kids are in their sweet spot, which I’d say is between 4 yrs old and 7 or 8 yrs old.  There’s basically, two large rooms.  If you’re having a birthday, they also have two party rooms.  So if you can imagine it, they can run two parties at once, each one taking turns in one of the large bounce rooms and then switching and then party room to end.

Because it’s a relatively new facility, it’s clean and modern.  You can take a look at the photos below to see what they have in store for the kids.

They have OPEN JUMPS which are open to the public, $10 per child — which is reasonable for the 1 1/2 hour sessions. Parents don’t pay anything here.

Not much for parents to do there – they do have some chairs on the side of each room for seating.  No free wifi available, couldn’t find any open signals at all.

Why I Will NEVER Go Back To Raul’s Empanadas Town in Morristown NJ

Posted by admin on Aug 22, 2010 in morristown, restaurant

This is one of those stories that just get burned into your memory.

One where you wish you never had to tell in the first place.

But it is also one so shocking that I am still, well…in shock.

Take a look at this video I took on the spot and see for yourself. WOW. That’s all I have to say. . .

UPDATE: Actually, I’m not speechless anymore about this experience gone bad at Raul’s Empanadas Town on Morris Street, Morristown NJ. Here’s a link to the Yelp post that shares more of the details.

West Essex Tribune Has Some Competition For Local News

Posted by admin on Aug 20, 2010 in 07039

Some astronomical number of households in Livingston township subscribe to the West Essex Tribune.

Aside from www.LivingstonNavigator.com, the WE Tribune doesn’t seem that well adapted to the Google world we live in.   They do offer some brief highlights from the paper available online at the Navigator site, but that’s about it.

So this is where competition is good for the rest of us.  Micro-local websites are creeping in everywhere, and Livingston, NJ isn’t immune to it it seems.

Enter www.LivingstonPatch.com — a micro local news outlet that has steadily been providing coverage of the town’s news, events, and more.

QUESTION: What elements of the West Essex Tribune are keeping you from going digital and getting ALL your local news from LivingstonPatch.com, NJ.com and other websites?
