When driving, traffic information isn’t more than a couple of minutes away:

• 1010am on the 1’s (01, 11, 21, 31, etc)
• 1030am on the 5’s (05, 15, 25, etc)
• 880 on the 8’s (08, 18, 28, etc)

XM radio has dedicated weather/traffic stations for most major cities that just go on infinite loops.

But these are all passive methods. You have to wait through commercials, or other content before you get the exact information you’re seeking.

Now, there’s another way (or two or three. . .).

• 511 info has set-up customized alerts which you can set-up online
• I subscribe to the 511 New Jersey specific Twitter account Other accounts based on georgraphy are also available
• DIAL 511 on your cell phone and you can go through the automated menus to get traffic or transit info the specific bridge, tunnel or highway you’re planning to use.

  Sometimes it’s better to be in the know. Now it’s just fingertips away.

  What do you use to get the scoop on traffic reports?

They are installing signs and cooking equipment this week.

  The old restaurant — Wild Noodles, failed wildly. It was dark, it was sterile, uninviting, (and expensive for what you get) and hence no one eat there. Bye bye Wild Noodles, sorry, but we won’t miss you.

  But this new tenant has a BIG shot at the success. Why? Because they serve BIG fat burritos. I mean huge, looks-like-a-big-silver-football-wrapped-in-aluminum-foil-burrito.

  The mexican restaurant coming is. . . .

  Chipotle!
  
  Anyone else going to be waiting in line for them to open?
