    Urban decay just fascinates me.

    Then you should check out Weird NJ magazine. They regularly feature pictorials on abandonded sites throughout NJ, as well as other weird stuff.

  4. Re:geez! by Lucas+Membrane · · Score: 2 · on Boston TV Signals Disrupting Police Radio in NJ
    The Weird NJ site speaks volumes about New Jersey.

    Living there is so weird that once you've gotten used to it, you will believe nothing and everything. Belief becomes a fairly meaningless concept in several ways.

    It is something of a tragedy that a state as populous as NJ doesn't have just about any local broadcast industry anymore. Getting signals from Boston is not any worse than the steady diet of NYC and Philadelphia programming that NJ residents must endure. Everyone who grows up there has sort of a builtin inferiority complex from living in a state with virtually no TV, no media of its own, coming from a place that doesn't even recognize itself except as the place where Hoffa is buried. This being the state where RCA developed much of TV, and where Armstrong built the first FM broadcast station, it's a shame. And you can't even get out of the state without paying a toll.

    LOL, Found this article at Weird NJ

    ONE OF NEW JERSEY'S MOST BAFFLING MYSTERIES came in the form of a silver "thread" that was suspended for days over the house of Mr. and Mrs. A.P. Smith of 85 Forest St. in the quiet suburb of Caldwell in Essex County.

    This isn't so new... There is a zine around here all about weird places in NJ called... oddly enough weird nj. Check it out for all kinds of wacky stuff in the garden state. They also have road tours of the weird places sometimes and slideshows etc. Some spooky stuff, some just plain interesting.

    Another link to check out in search of odd holes in the ground and old anomolies... Weird New Jersey. The website supports a magazine that can occasionally be found in local book stores.

    Proof positive that what the rest of the US has know for years is true... New Jersey is strange.
