gimmemym1 34 Posted February 7, 2012 The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey.

mipafox 438 Posted February 7, 2012 I think the NAZIs copied the NJSP uniforms for their SS uniforms. That's pretty noteworthy from a historical standpoint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilipJFry 4 Posted February 8, 2012 Home of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (look at a map), home of the Giants Superbowl champs, though both those things are attributed to NY.

Qel Hoth 33 Posted February 8, 2012 Home of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (look at a map) Actually that's not true. The Statue of Liberty is in NY, as is the original island that Ellis Island sits on. However, since the floor of the bay belonged to NJ, any of the reclaimed land around Ellis belongs to NJ. So, the main hall belongs to NY, but the hospital and much of the grounds belong to NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qel Hoth 33 Posted February 8, 2012 Is the Statue in New York or New Jersey? The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island' date=' federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York. A pact between New York and New Jersey, ratified by Congress in 1834, declared this issue. http://www.nps.gov/stli/faqs.htm [/quote'] The island' date=' largely artificially created through landfill, is situated on the New Jersey side of Upper New York Bay. The natural portion of the island, part of New York City, is surrounded by rest of the island in Jersey City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_island#State_sovereignty_dispute .

Midwest 28 Posted February 8, 2012 Did anyone mention that Passaic is the birthplace of TV ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passaic,_New_Jersey "Passaic has been called "The Birthplace of Television".[15] In 1931, experimental television station W2XCD began transmitting from DeForest Radio Corp. in Passaic. It has been called the first television station to transmit to the home, and was the first such station to broadcast a feature film. Allen B. DuMont, formerly DeForest's chief engineer, opened pioneering TV manufacturer DuMont Laboratories in Passaic in 1937, and started the DuMont Television Network, the world's first commercial television network, in 1946. The Okonite company began manufacturing electrical cable here in 1888, with early uses of the company's insulated wires including some of the earliest telegraph cables and the wiring for Thomas Edison's Pearl Street Station in Lower Manhattan." Lot of famous people from Passaic too....including Joe Piscopo The Shirelles Larry Storch Loretta Swit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Service 7 Posted February 8, 2012 Yes sir...I have some...Cranberries and Blueberries I grabbed this somewhere off the net. I think Lee was from New Egypt. In New Jersey, the first cranberry cultivation began in 1840. John Webb established the first cranberry bog and sold his barrels for $50 each, which was a lot of money then. He sold them to ship merchants who sold them to sailors because cranberries would keep them from getting sick while at sea. Elizabeth Lee was one of the only cranberry growers in southern New Jersey. She usually threw out any damaged berries she harvested. One day she decided to cook the berries, and she created a tasty sauce. Elizabeth started selling it as “Bog Sweet Cranberry Sauce.” In the beginning people didn’t want to buy it, but she continued making the sauce. Elizabeth merged her company with another one and formed Ocean Spray, which is still around today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

constantfix 0 Posted February 10, 2012 V8 tomato juice It's bottled in Camden +4 for TH Tailor ham up north/central, pork roll everywhere else. Not to split hairs but there is a big difference between the TH in the red box pre sliced and the block one in the cheese cloth wrap, IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtown223 12 Posted April 26, 2012 V8 tomato juice It's bottled in Camden +4 for TH Tailor ham up north/central, pork roll everywhere else. Not to split hairs but there is a big difference between the TH in the red box pre sliced and the block one in the cheese cloth wrap, IMO. There is quite a difference indeed I worked at a restaurant (ok, bar) and we would get different "Taylor ham" from delivery to delivery sometimes it was stamped Taylor ham, sometimes pork roll, and every once in a while..goodie roll. it all tasted awesome, my boss explained it as "different ratios of boot leather" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
