I'm from the 609 area code, near Princeton which, by the way is a very nice place to visit. Some of this doesn't apply to that area of NJ. This was written by someone "up north".

Are we showing our age?
To: LoneGreenEyeshade
How about listening to Cousin Brucie (Morrow) on WABC? Or in South Jersey, listening to Hy Lit on WIBG?

You mentioned Robert Hall and Cousin Brucie. What was the name of the men's clothing store Cousin Brucie used to advertise that was on Route 22 in the Pirate Ship? I think it started with a "D".

Cousin Brucie (Morrow) on WABC
Is he still on? Sheesh, when I was a teenager....Oh well, nevermind! :~)
To: LoneGreenEyeshade
No, WABC went partial-talk a long time ago. I have no idea what Bruce Morrowitz is up to these days.

No. I can't recall the name but it wasn't DiPaola.
Cousin Brucie still does TV specials and fund raisers. He had been doing a radio show in Orange County, NY for awhile and may still be. The thing is he still looks great and his voice is not a bit different than it was in 1967.

Back in the Sixties, Cousin Brucie did a Saturday night feature where he would play the top ten favorite oldies of some listener. The listener would then get a third-rate oldies album for a prize. In the fall of 1965, I and my list got picked.

Is that pirate ship store where the Wiz is now ?
To: Publius
As you know, his biggest competition on Saturday nights then was Murray The "K". I still preferred Bruce Morrow even though Murray's "Submarine Race Watching" line had all us high school kids thinking of tuning into WINS.
I probably was listening at the time you won.

I think so, Tok. I don't drive on RT 22 that often but I seem to remember a WIZ store there. That ship has seen many a business come and go.

The light bulb just came on. The clothing store was Dennison's.

I remember going to the local White Castle in Cedar Grove (I lived in "The 'Clair") in 1969 when they walked out to your car, took your order, and then placed the order into a microphone on the outside of the building that required a magnet worn around the neck to activate. When they delivered your order, it came on a tray that hooked over the window of the car.
...cruising Eagle Rock Reservation or Brookdale Park when people had *real* muscle cars...
Now they don't call it The Police State for nothing.

not a bit different than ...in 1967 Seaside Heights, The Supremes, hair in a "flip"...ah yes, the golden years when it took only an hour to the Shore from Exit 148.

We're doing our Christmas shopping, at Robert Hall this year..... I do believe I got my First Holy Communion suit at Robert Hall.

I was also born and raised on the Olympic P. As someone said above, they were sitting in the middle of a herd of Elk taking pictures. Not a good idea at all. I knew of three people who were killed by angry Elk when they ventured to near. I now live in Central Jersey (35 years) and I miss the most pristine area of the country very bad. I can thusly relate to the list above. Down here at the shore, we have a saying about the outsiders, they are called bennies. Can anyone else relate to that?

I don't know what most of the stuff is, and having been in and through N.J. many times... I thank God I don't live there (no offense).
