Is There a Hot Dog Heaven? It Might Be in Elizabeth
We’ve been going to hot dog places all over New Jersey both for the August Hot Dog Tours and also just because we love hot dogs. I’d read quite a few times about Elizabeth and its Second Avenue, home to two of the best places around. One specializes in Italian hot dogs and one in Texas wiener-style dogs. Both were worth the trip to Elizabeth.

New Jersey Among States Who Express Interest in Opting Out of No Child Left Behind
It was a flawed system to begin with but President Bush went with it anyway. Houston schools were the first to try it and were the model for the national plan and Houston schools were and still are failing miserably at teaching kids.

Movie Review – Drive
The movie Drive stars Ryan Gosling as a stunt car driver and sometimes getaway car for hire. He is pretty much a loner who keeps to himself, but as fate would have it, his life gets tangled up with a variety of mostly shady characters. Based on the trailer and commercials. you may think that this is just another action film. If you think that, you would be wrong.

Newark Denied a Bid to Host Triple-A Yankees in 2012
Newark Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium was turned down in a bid to move the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees into Newark for the 2012 season. Scranton’s stadium needs renovation so they’ve been looking for somewhere to have the team play for the whole season next year and Newark looked like the perfect place.
