Yes. Theres lots of towns not in Essex and Hudson that are walkable but since they arent a major metro area, the people who campaign for walkable cities dont talk about them. These towns need a little love but could be great again. Asbury Park took 20 years to get to where it is

General butchery i go to Palmers in Neptune as its closest. When i worked in East Brunswick Aiellos was where i went for general butchering if i just wanted some steaks or ground beef for the grill. If i really want something special, Union Pork Store cant be beat. Their hot zwack is great and they have all kinds of custom and specialty sausage blends. I really like his Moroccan and Merguez lamb sausages. He does general butchery as well and his coffee bacon is incredible.

In OB youve got European Homemade Provisions on OBT, Continental Homemade Provisions on Bordentown Ave and Aiellos on 516. The first two are Eastern European style butchers. I get my kielbasa from Continental. Aiellos is an Italian butcher/deli and has more typical cuts.

Monmouth Meats in Red Bank, Pats in Lincroft and Palmers in Neptune are all good as well

I remember my grandfather taking me to Bell Labs as a kid. He was on the fiber optic team. That place was so cool even back then, I'm glad Bellworks was able to repurpose the building instead of knocking it down

Neptune ShopRite has had private security for 10 years and a police detail for 15. They specific store contracts with Neptune PD for a police detail. It's the same as when you see cops sitting at construction jobs. I used to work for the security company.

I worked Rides and Security there in the 00s. Did something change because we went to and from work all the time in uniform. Not everyone changed at work and we punched in at Ops so the walk to our assignment was always paid.
