I'm wondering if that family that was involved in the illegal booze operation of the 1920's is the same family that owns the Underwood Corporation that leases parking spaces on State Street.  Maybe they picked that "Underwood" name for the new corporation because someone in their family past was involved in that illegal booze operation called "Underwood".  And they just thought that it would be appropriate.   Just pure speculation.

OK - I know what you're talking about, but it doesn't say anywhere that ANY family was involved.

It just said booze was destroyed - not whose it was.

UNDERWOOD !!!   There's that name again in connection with Hackensack.
I wonder if there is any family connection between this illegal booze and the Underwood Corporation that leased the city's parking lot on State Street, near Camden Street.

HIGHLY doubtful:

There WAS a moose SIGHTING:








However, his pal Rocky wandered off and hooked up with the coyote that was sighted earlier.

Don't believe it? Here's proof:

Gee thanks, but that's not my style. Opening night at the Joint in the Woods Cafe will do because they already booked someone to open the place that I prefer. The poster for it has already been made:





Correction: The old Joint in the Woods club was not on Rt 17 - it was in Parsippany.

I was thinking of the Hole in the Wall club on 17. Anyone remember the big painting of a hole in the wall on the front wall where you could "see" what was going on inside the club?

Great 70s club names. The worst local 70s club name? "The Cuss from Hoe" on Paramus Rd, Paramus.

if Mr. Leafe can dress as a Great Horned Owl and sit in a tree

Been there, done that.






In exchange for this childhood photo of me, Ol' Homer has agreed , in return, to pose in this costume:





That oughta be a real hoot! Can't wait to see THAT post!


Because of all the requests, I took my magic cellcam to Borg's Woods very early this morning and found a whole variety of owls there:






I even found one with justwatching's red fox:






As I was leaving, I captured a silhouette of the deer and turkeys against the light of the rising sun:






That's it.........I'm done. I hope you're all happy now, because I'm not going back there until you all buy me dinner at the grand opening of the new Joint in the Woods Cafe.

Bon appétit!

This measures 5 3/8" x 6.25" and the foldout map is really interesting.

The real challenge at Borg's is to photograph the red fox. And the Blue-Ribbon Award goes to whoever can photograph a 20-lb Great-Horned Owl. I wonder if Mr. Labrosse or Mr. Leafe is up to that challenge ???

Lemme get this straight: you want me to photograph a Great Horned Owl and then ask it to step on a scale and that it better tip 20 pounds or else I don't get..........a ribbon?

I'll pass. It's all yours, John.

And, yes, it would be a real challenge to photograph Redd Foxx, who's been dead for 18 years.

Mmmm! Good eatin' in Borg's Woods! A cafe will probably pop up there any day now - maybe they can revive an old Rt 17 club name for it: Joint in the Woods;)
