Tuckerton

An Ocean County native whose astonishing weight-loss journey was featured on the TLC reality TV show “My 600-lb. Life” died last week.

Remember just yesterday when we told you about two people in Ocean County who won big bucks from the New Jersey Lottery? Make that three.

We are happy to bring to you at home information about what is happening in YOUR communities. To get you information about things happening in your Town that affect your life. Being local is very important to us and glad to share updates like this with you about new local businesses coming to the Jersey Shore!

Why do we love yard sales? I asked April “you never know what you are going to find and you never know the history behind different items.” Do you agree? She also added that “bargains” are always available. I also asked what is the type of item she always looks for…..”vintage holiday and gardening”.

An earthquake shook southern Ocean County on Wednesday morning.

So this past weekend as April and I drove around Ocean County, we spotted two construction projects in Tuckerton and now that these two caught my eye, I need to know "What's Going On in Tuckerton?"

Lasers can temporarily blind a pilot and knowingly aiming one at an aircraft is a federal crime.

So it's that time of year again.....time for the root beer floats to return to Southern Ocean County! That's right the Stewart's on Route 9 in Tuckerton has posted that they will be opening on my birthday! April 15th the Root Beer is back and I cannot wait. I guess I will definitely have to have a root beer now on my birthday :)

This house was built in 1699!

Ok so I’m looking over the menu and I’m torn between the Hamtastic (gigantic ham sub with imported ham, provolone, bacon, roasted red peppers and creamy Dijon mustard) or the LBI lobster roll (fresh lobster, avocado, Mayo and tomato) both sound fantastic.

This week I finally got around to getting a photo and sharing my admiration for what I’m calling the “cross on the lake”. It’s the illuminated cross on the bank of Lake Pohatcong in Downtown Tuckerton, across from the historic Tuckerton Seaport.

Donald Rutter, 51, of Tuckerton, remains on the run.
