Great news: A poll shows casino gambling in North Jersey to be failing big time

Johnny has never made any bones about his distaste for a casino anywhere near Jersey City. We pay, the owners get rich and get our money even if we don't go to the casino in the form of abatements. Well, to that voting end of things, a new Farleigh Dickinson Public Mind poll shows 57% opposed to a casino opening via ballot box in North Jersey. Only 35% approve of a casino up north.

Nice to see common sense hasn't left a majority of taxpayers.

More squabbling over casinos between north Jersey and south Jersey

A group of south New Jersey interests are trying to keep north New Jersey from getting casinos (you can already gamble your brains out on your smartphone app or ipad app already) and have raised money and a stink in trying to keep their share of the pie. There's a great article today on the forces marshaling down south to defeat any plan for casinos up north.

Once again Johnny will say that you can build the greatest casino that ever was with golden fountains and silver elevator cars but the minute one opens in nay borough other than Staten Island, it'll be closed within the year. NYC opens a casino, the north Jersey one just closed.

A tornado watch is in effect until 11pm for a LOT of South Jersey

February 24, they're having a blizzard in Chicago and lower Michigan today while here in New Jersey, The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch, effective through 11 p.m., for Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer and Salem counties in New Jersey, as well as several counties in southeastern Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia region.

We should be copacetic here Jersey City with just more damned rain and perhaps a rumble of thunder later tonight.

The mystery BOOM, what could it have been?

Folks down South Jersey way are wondering what the hell it was they heard/felt this afternoon. Some said it felt like an earthquake but the Geological Survey said no. Then speculation turned to a military plane of some kind dropping something or crashing. Military said no.
