If you have md ezpass it's cheaper, and as mentioned, you can get a yearly pass to take the nearby hatem bridge (route 40) for $28

Even with md ezpass, still $6. Also, if you have mdezpass, your not going to get the NY discounts so probably not worth it.
I used to take rt 40 back when it was only$5 for the annual pass. Not worth it anymore, especially with the larger family, when every additional minute of uncle Moishe is likely driving me closer to insanity and premature death

Lol, not disagreeing with either point, just pointing out what the cost would be in each situation

I recall many years ago seeing a Chanuka decorated house. Does it still exist, and if yes, what is the address?

Thanks

Response from a friend "Greenspring, a few blocks past Smith, as you head towards the Quarry. Can't miss it - it's the one with lights"
