The secret of doing karaoke is knowing your range. Doing Bruce well is nearly impossible. My wife is classically trained, and literally drops fools doing Dusty Springfield.

Of course, you and I were there together. We didn't know each other the time, but now we do.

I'm aware. Again, hallucinating. Maybe, just maybe, I'm kind of spitballing here - what if you had someone who is trained in mental health crises advising the cops on what do do and react in these situations? Instead of just "shoot center mass". I wonder what kind of outcomes we'd have.

Nobody else was in danger. He was in his apartment, he locked himself in a bathroom, he was hallucinating. This entire episode was escalated by police.

> Sending social workers into a situation where a man armed with a knife is threatening to harm himself and others is not viable.
It's not just a social worker. It's a social worker trained in these kind of situations and knows the risks. It's not some random LCSW from your kid's school.
The idea is that the social worker runs lead with the cops backup. Because these types of programs have been working.
Patrick Chin in Hillsborough was killed after a 2.5 minute interaction. He was in crisis, alone in his house. There was no threat to the general public and the cops escalated the situation and ended up killing him.

I've met several members of E Street but never Bruce. Even when I was driving Uber on the shore, I got a little giddy if I had to pick up a Bruce or a Patti. But alas, was never them.

Thank you, that helps.
Mastoris is gone, but there is Chickie and Pete's and the Town and Country Diner off 130 in Bordentown area. There's also the Wisdom Diner. Those are three decent options that are on your way "home" back to 295.

The question: It appears you are unfamiliar with the trenton area. Which direction are you coming from? You mentioned Texas Roadhouse and I believe the closest one to the CURE Arena is in Hamilton, so if you're coming from that side of New Jersey, I can assist. Also, are you planning to eat before or after the show?

Reply to Average commute to work here? by theblackdonaldglover
A north Jersey to Central Jersey commute is actually interesting because you're going against the flow of traffic. That being said, there's a lot of factors going into this.
My shortest commute has been 15 minutes, my longest has been an hour plus. Commutes can be easier if it's just "get on the turnpike and go", but it varies.

Colts Neck population in 2001: 10,384
Colts Neck population in 2002: 10,565
EDITED FOR CLARITY: I was also incorrect. Colts Neck lost five residents in 9/11. Red Bank lost two.

But that was never a mall... it was office space they converted into mixed use. Which granted, was great to use the existing structure.
I don't think they'd do that with a mall.
