I worked in Brick till about a year ago, and my commute from Lakewood was about 10 minutes.

This morning, I had to go the same route at the same time after not doing it for over a year. It literally took twice as long due to the new daycare on Clover.

Today is not a raya. It’s Chanukah.

So BMG makes a huge hachnosas Sefer Torah and not a word or picture on TLS website or Instagram. Only on LNN..
No idea what's going on.

Because a basement is an asset meant to generate income. That being said my tenant took the apartment when the market was flooded and I went down from the 1250 the previous tenant was paying to under 1100. I haven’t raised the rent and see it as a tova I am doing for a tenant that is mentchlach.

That being said I’m somewhat conflicted. I can easily get 6-7 k more per year based on my basement size and location. My tenants are living at a somewhat higher standard than we are. Does it make sense to be metzamtzem ourselves to charge them less? And what about tuition? We are paying nicely but can’t afford full tuitions. Should we prioritize the schools over our tenants?

These are some of the questions I grapple with. For now it’s status quo.

The owner of TLS has a grudge against the Roshei Yeshiva and won’t post pictures of them, I believe because they signed against the billboards which the Vaad promised him when they asked him to join and cover for them.

Kinda hard to believe, I’m sure there’s another side to the story. Email him and ask.

I think we can now safely say that this has been an epic failure:

Two years ago, the Asbury Park Press launched a forum, which they promoted heavily on social media. I even wrote a few posts on the forum, but it was basically just DOA. Check it out here: https://talk.app.com/

Interesting that I missed it. But yeah, there are literally 20 posts in there and 3/4 are the starting posts by the APP moderator. This could have been useful.
