World Cup "boom" for NJ? Not so much Businesses near MetLife Stadium expected a huge boost from World Cup matches, but gridlock alerts from NJ DOT are killing them instead Steve's Sizzling Steaks in Carlstadt, open since 1936, reports 60% drops on game days, empty lots, and staff cuts. Hotels are only at 40% capacity while roads stay dead quiet

Another small business crushed by NJ bureaucracy 😔 La Bella Princess 👑 Cafe in Verona, it's a place for kids' parties, tea time & fairy tale vibes, is shutting down after the township suddenly yanked their permit They got approved in 2023, invested their life savings, zero complaints in 2+ years... then poof. Town says "oops, zoning." Owners now forced to close or spend big on variances to fix the town's mistake. All while still paying the rent! This is why people are fed up here in New Jersey. Small businesses bring joy and jobs, but red tape and flip-flopping government kill them

Did you know the movie Jaws is based on real events that happened in New Jersey between July 1st & 12th 1916? The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 were a series of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey in which four people were killed and one critically injured The incidents occurred during a deadly summer heat wave and polio epidemic in the United States that drove thousands of people to the seaside resorts of the Jersey Shore Since 1916, scholars have debated which shark species was responsible and the number of animals involved, with the great white shark and the bull shark most frequently cited Personal and national reaction to the fatalities involved a wave of panic that led to shark hunts aimed at eradicating the population of "man-eating" sharks and protecting the economies of New Jersey's seaside communities Resort towns enclosed their public beaches with steel nets to protect swimmers. Scientific knowledge about sharks before 1916 was based on conjecture and speculation The attacks forced ichthyologists to reassess common beliefs about the abilities of sharks and the nature of shark attacks
