Trump at New Jersey Rally: We'll Keep the White House in 2020
President Donald Trump is holding his next rally in a county with almost no factory jobs to save, a reliance on immigrant workers and an economy built in part by coastal elites who summer there. #TrumpRally #Trump #Wildwood #NewJersey #WildwoodNewJersey
Cape May County on the southern tip of New Jersey reflects just how much loyalty Trump commands with voters outside the industrial heartland. More than 65% of its economy comes from tourism. The population booms from 90,000 year-round to more than 670,000 in July and August. Yet the county is reliably safe swimming for Republicans — and a Trump event bringing in thousands of guests into a community that is shuttered for winter is an economic bonus for the hotels, motels and restaurants.
Trump is holding the Tuesday rally along the beach in Wildwood in support of New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who flipped to the Republican party last month after opposing the House Democratic majority’s impeachment of the president.
The event is a chance to reward Van Drew with a presidential seal of approval, but it will also resonate beyond the Jersey Shore, drawing in suburban Philadelphia voters at a moment when Pennsylvania is a must-win for the president in 2020, said Seth Grossman, an attorney who ran against Van Drew in 2018 as a pro-Trump Republican.
“He’s sending a message that it’s OK for Democrats to embrace Trump and Republicans, as opposed to feeling obligated to stay in the Democratic Party,” Grossman said.
The rally is a studied contrast with Trump’s 2018 campaign stops that tended to be further inland in counties that were generally whiter, poorer and less educated than the United States as a whole. That strategy helped Republicans to expand their Senate majority by two seats even as they lost their House majority to Democrats.
Beach lovers have brought a county of barrier islands and pristine wetlands tremendous wealth. They come for the charming Victorian eaves of Cape May, the beach view mansions of Avalon, the boardwalk of alcohol-free Ocean City and the Space Age architecture of Wildwood’s motels. Of the county’s shore towns, Wildwood has more of a working class vibe and the largest gathering space with an indoor arena that seats about 7,000 people.
About 60% of the revenues for the Bolero Resort in Wildwood come in July and August — and there is usually just one of two guests staying there during a typical January weekday. But the 120 rooms are fully booked on Monday and Tuesday for the Trump rally. Thirty of those rooms had been closed for the winter and needed to be re-opened, while the restaurant hired staff to serve cocktails such as the “Subpoena Colada” and the “Moscow Mueller” as the band Shorty Long and the Jersey Horns plays both nights.
“I actually have a waiting list of people we know — friends of friends, regular customers — but we just don’t have enough space,”″ said Perry Nickleach, the Bolero’s manager.
Not everyone has benefited from the wealth being generated on the Jersey Shore.
For the past 19 years, home prices have increased in value by an annual average of 6.5%, while incomes have grown an average of just 2.5%, according to figures from the real estate company CoreLogic and analysis by The Associated Press. Cape May County’s year-round population has fallen by nearly 10,000 residents during that same period as it has become less affordable, according to Census Bureau figures.
While Trump often talks about the stock market, a half-century low unemployment rate and trade talks at his rallies, the most important economic resource in Cape May County might be its grayish khaki sand. The sand forms the beaches and the beaches reel in the money and real estate development. But the Atlantic Ocean is constantly sucking the sand back into the deep, putting all of that wealth at risk.

Robert Pinsky's PoemJazz
Three-time U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky reads his poetry to improvised jazz at Monmouth University's Pollak Theatre in his hometown of Long Branch, New Jersey. State of the Arts also takes a tour 'round the old neighborhood with Pinsky, who says all his poetry started here. Pinsky says he only became a poet after it became clear he wouldn't make it as a musician - in fact, he was voted Most Musical Boy in high school. With his PoemJazz performances, he explores the musicality of the spoken word and improvises with his fellow players. At Monmouth University, Robert Pinsky performed with bassist Ben Allison and guitarist Steve Cardenas. Featured in the story are excerpts from Creole, a poem about Long Branch, and Street Music.

Sneaky Ways Movie Theaters Get You To Spend More Money
Between ticket prices and concessions, movie theaters are expensive. But movie theater chains like AMC and Regal only keep around 50% of the revenue from ticket sales each year. But theaters are able to keep over 80% of concessions revenue as profit. So most theaters are designed to get you to spend money on food. And it works, AMC reports that more than 71% of attendees spend money on concessions.

Sneaky Ways Movie Theaters Get You To Spend More Money
Abandoned Phoenix Powder Company Factory Farmingdale NJ
Exploring the abandoned Phoenix Powder Co property in Farmingdale New Jersey. The factory closed years after an explosion. Below is the original article.
The New York Times – Published November 20, 1894
KILLED BY A POWDER EXPLOSION
Two Men Lose Their Lives by an Accident at the Phoenix Powder Works, Near Farmingdale, N. J.
Farmingdale, N. J., Nov. 19 1894
An explosion that shook every house in the neighborhood and made the residents believe that an earthquake had visited the place was felt here soon after 1 o’clock today. One of the large outhouses of the Phoenix Powder Works in which has stored nearly a ton of rifle powder was blown high in the air, and the two men working therein were killed outright. They were George Disbro and Edward W. Sharp. What is left of their bodies to-night lies in the small undertaking establishment of Halstead Wainright
The Phoenix Powder Works are situated about a mile east of the town, in what, several years ago, was farming land. The President of the company is William H. Taylor of New York, and the stockholders are principally wealthy men of that city. Until the accident of today no fatality had occurred at there since the works were established, in the Fall of 1888. One of the numerous outhouses was blown up a year or two ago, but, fortunately, no one was injured. Powder, in its manufactures through at least fifteen different processes and a separate house is required for each. The buildings are at least yards apart, so that, in case one explodes, there is little danger of any of the others meeting the same fate. A row of a dozen buildings on the main road leading from Hamilton to Farmingdale marks the houses of the employees, about thirty in number.
Disbrow and Sharp were working in the coining- mill where the powder, after being pressed into cakes, is ground into rough powder, preparatory to going to the glazing mill, where the finishing touches are put on. The men are required to wear shoes without nails, and all their clothing must be changed before going into any of the mills. Disbrow and Sharp would have been through their work in a little while. Their load of powder was nearly ready to be taken to the glazing mills.
Suddenly there was an explosion that shook every house within two miles of the coining mill, and when the smoke cleared away there was hardly anything left but a lot of debris. Sharp lay thirty feet from the wreaked building. Both legs had been blown off at the knees, and his face and body were fearfully cut. He presented an awful appearance. Disbrow was found in a ditch 125 feet away His right arm was mashed to a pulp, and his entrails were blown out. Warren Snyder, who is employed in the packing house, was washing up when the explosion occurred. The flying glass cut his head fearfully. He was removed to his home and medical aid was summoned. Although badly injured, he will probably recover. Thomas White and Daniel Voorhees were in the glazing house. Both were knocked down and received painful injuries.
A minute after the explosion the whole town was running toward the scene. Superintendent Laflin would not allow anybody within 2OO yards of the wrecked mill fearing another explosion. Sharp was married, and leaves a wife and three children. The latter are sick and in a dangerous condition. He was thirty-five years old. Disbro was twenty-two years old and unmarried.
Tragedy's Haunted Hall Video - Asbury Park NJ - Convention Hall

At the time, we remember hearing an eerie, whining sound, almost in tune with the music. In this video, you can hear it, and you can clearly see a ghostly image start to form in the Christmas tree lights behind the stage. Check it out...
Abandoned NJ Tile and Brick Factory Ruins Pine Barrens Pasadena Brooksbrae
A vist to the Abandoned Pasadena Brooksbrae Tile and Brick Factory Ruins in Manchester New Jersey in the Pine Barrens.
GPS: 39.887904, -74.441565
New York TImes Article October 28, 2007
A FEW hundred yards in from the road, past the abandoned railroad tracks, a casual hiker may be surprised to come across rows of stone stanchions and brick walls in the middle of the forest. A closer inspection will reveal a series of tunnels. Look even closer and one will notice the multicolored bits of paint splattered across most of the surfaces of this ruin.
Welcome to Brooksbrae Brick Company, one of the Pine Barrens’ dozens of ghost towns. Slightly eerie though it may be, this is not where you will find spectral images of those who once roamed these lonely woods. Leave that to the ghost hunters who come out in droves this time of year in search of the Jersey Devil or other apparitions believed to still reside here.
Rather, these lost towns are what remain of communities where thousands of people lived and toiled in the 18th and 19th centuries, producing tile, bricks, glass, lumber, paper, iron and munitions.
“This was not some bucolic Walden Pond — this was heavy industry,” said Budd Wilson, a former state archaeologist who over the last 48 years has excavated many of the sites of these lost towns. “People act like nothing ever happened here. That’s not the case. Plenty happened here. It was just 100 years ago.”
An observant visitor with a fertile imagination can still catch glimpses of this bygone era, whether by examining the detritus, much of which still sits on the forest floor, or by visiting the buildings and ruins that yet stand, in various stages of preservation or decay. But before setting out to discover this lost world, a little history might prove useful.
A vast labyrinth of woods, ponds, streams and trails, the Pine Barrens’ now largely protected 1.4 million acres provided fertile opportunity for colonists in the early 1700s who tapped the area’s primary resource: water.
First were the sawmills, operating on water power and taking advantage of the abundant cedar and pine. Soon after, a high level of iron ore was discovered in the water. These iron bogs became a major resource for iron production for close to 100 years, with 17 furnaces operating at one point, manufacturing cast- and wrought-iron goods.
“You had all this noise and all this smoke coming out of the tops of these furnaces,” said Mr. Wilson, describing the area in the early 1800s. “It was like having your fireplace come out into your room all the time. And people were living amongst this.”
By the mid-19th century, the clay and brick industries were thriving, as well as glass manufacturing, which used the abundant sand here. When much of the country’s manufacturing moved to the cities, this area switched to agriculture, specifically cranberries and blueberries, which are still vital industries today.
Meanwhile, the land became ripe for speculators, like the Philadelphia financier Joseph Wharton, who bought up dozens of abandoned industrial towns with plans to pump fresh water from the Pine Barrens to Philadelphia. After he was thwarted by legislation passed to prohibit such interstate export, the land was eventually sold to the state. The 115,111 acres of Wharton State Forest make up the largest single tract of land in New Jersey.
Fascinated by the ruins she stumbled upon while hiking in the Pine Barrens, Barbara Solem-Stull, of Shamong, in Burlington County, spent a year investigating the remains of some 45 former industrial towns. The result was her book “Ghost Towns and Other Quirky Places in the New Jersey Pine Barrens” (Plexus Publishing, 2005). Filled with hand-drawn maps, photos and detailed directions on how to reach these often difficult to find places, the book is part travelogue, part history and part day-trippers’ guide. A determined explorer can probably visit three or four sites in a day, she said.
To get a sense of the lost civilization here, a visitor would do well to start at Harrisville, where some of the most intact ruins stand. On the west border of Bass River Township along Route 679, Harrisville was a gathering place for many of the surrounding company towns. Industry here can be traced back to an iron-slitting mill in 1795, but the majestic brick and stone arches that remain are from the late 1800s, when the Harris brothers ran a paper mill.

Starting Point: Broadway
With over 1.4 billion dollars in ticket sales to 13 million attendees, the Broadway theatre district is a major tourist attraction in New York City. Broadway in Manhattan is known widely as the heart of the American theatre industry, and is used as a metonym for it. Broadway the road is the oldest north–south main road in New York City, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement.

One famous stretch near Times Square, where Broadway crosses Seventh Avenue in midtown Manhattan, is the home of many Broadway theatres, housing an ever-changing array of commercial, large-scale plays, particularly musicals. This area of Manhattan is often called the Theater District or the Great White Way, a nickname originating in the headline Found on the Great White Way in the edition of February 3, 1902 of the New York Evening Telegram. The journalistic nickname was inspired by the millions of lights on theater marquees and billboard advertisements that illuminate the area. After becoming the city's de facto red-light district in the 1960s and 1970s (as can be seen in the films Taxi Driver and Midnight Cowboy), since the late 1980s Times Square has emerged as a family tourist center, in effect being Disneyfied following the company's purchase and renovation of the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street in 1993.
Broadway theatre, commonly known as Broadway, refers to the theatrical performances presented in the 41 professional theatres with 500 or more seats located in the Theater District and Lincoln Center along Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Along with London's West End theatre, Broadway theatre is widely considered to represent the highest level of commercial theatre in the English-speaking world.
The Theater District is a popular tourist attraction in New York City. According to The Broadway League, for the 2016–2017 season (which ended May 21, 2017), total attendance was 13,270,343 and Broadway shows had US$1,449,399,149 in grosses, with attendance down 0.4%, grosses up 5.5%, and playing weeks down 4.1%.
The great majority of Broadway shows are musicals. Historian Martin Shefter argues, 'Broadway musicals,' culminating in the productions of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, became enormously influential forms of American popular culture and helped make New York City the cultural capital of the nation.
Midtown Manhattan, or Midtown, represents the central lengthwise portion of the borough and island of Manhattan in New York City. Midtown is home to some of the city's most iconic buildings, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the headquarters of the United Nations, and it contains world-renowned commercial zones such as Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and Times Square.
Midtown Manhattan is the largest central business district in the world and ranks among the most expensive and intensely used pieces of real estate in the world, and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan commands the world's highest retail rents, at US$3,000 per square foot ($32,000/m2) in 2017. While Lower Manhattan is the main financial center, Midtown is the country's largest commercial, entertainment, and media center. It is also a growing financial center, second in importance only to Lower Manhattan's Financial District in the United States.
With a record 61 million tourists in 2016, Manhattan is often described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world and the borough hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world,
New York County is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2016 population of 1,643,734 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 71,999 residents per square mile (27,799/km2), higher than the density of any individual U.S. city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases this number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.

NJ News Leaders Respond to Younger Generations' Info Needs
Editors from three of NJ's largest newsrooms shared thoughts on how news content is changing during a public forum on Solutions & Civics-based News, 4/6, at MSU School of Communication & Media. How do we live better, how do we live smarter, queried NJTV News anchor Michael Hill. We have to answer and respond to these younger people because they're... making us citizens of the world, said Tony Dearing, Director of News Operations for NJ Advance Media. Ed Forbes, Senior Director of Breaking and Local News for North Jersey Media, suggested that news is essential to readers as they conduct and build healthy communities.
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen (Drum Cover) drumless song track used
My second cover of this song. Here is the first cover:
This one uses a drumless song backing track, so all the drumming heard is mine.
I initially triggered a late 70s dry kit from Addictive Drums 2. Tracks of the same performance using a MIDI file of the initial performance were used to triggered a Terry Date kit from Steven Slate Drums and another kit from Superior Drummer's Ayotte kit were employed - try that with an acoustic drum kit. (for all those who inquire why I use an ekit)
Born to Run is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. As his effort to break into the mainstream, the album was a commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200 and eventually selling six million copies in the United States.
Written at 7½ West End Court in Long Branch, New Jersey in early 1974, the song was Bruce Springsteen's final attempt to become successful. The prior year, Springsteen had released two albums to critical acclaim but with little commercial movement.
Written in the first person, the song is a love letter to a girl named Wendy, for whom the hot-rod-riding protagonist seems to possess the passion to love, just not the patience. However, Springsteen has noted that it has a much simpler core: getting out of Freehold. U.S. Route 9 is mentioned from the lyric sprung from cages out on Highway 9.
On the recording:
Bruce Springsteen – electric & acoustic guitars, vocals
Garry Tallent – bass guitar
Ernest Boom Carter – drums
David Sancious – piano, Fender Rhodes electric piano, synthesizer
Danny Federici – Hammond organ, glockenspiel
Clarence Clemons – tenor saxophone
I got to witness a performance by the Boss in the mid 70s at the Capitol Theatre in Oakland CA which is an Art Deco style architecture. I was sitting next to Bruce's mom & sister who were living in San Mateo CA at the time. The lead female singer of a band I was playing in, Raven Lee Ayers, tried to get in on the scene after the show with Clarence Clemons, the sax player, but no go, it was a ridiculous groupie-like scene.
