Yes, We have a Freidman's and a Shop and Bag also Bank of America, LOL. Not bad for a town of 1500! A Chinese and Italian restaurants and a Pizza joint, an Irish Shop and a Drug Store,almost forgot an elementary school to 8th grade. My house just doubled in price too. There is Connie's Restaurant - great food. When my son came in from OH we had breakfast there and it was the first time he had Pork Roll. Now when I go to OH (He was born and raised in OH) I have to bring a whole Pork Roll besides the Braunschweiger (Schickhaus and bologna). I now realize my children are spoiled. My daughter is 40 and my son will be 50 in Jan. Hope I didn't leave anything out.

I am so disappointed that they closed all the stores over here on the coast except for Belmar and Spring Lake....the one in the Grove is open only in the summer. The only rye bread worth eating is Freedman's ....tried Panera's but just not the same.
