Here's a New Jersey institution that never seems to get mentioned when it comes to Jersey food.

There are still three left in the state. Cherry Hill, Brick and Pine Beach.

Would I be allowed or would I be forced to build the modern shoebox?

I guess it depends on the contract. But I was wondering if anyone knew specifically about that.

It's kind of surprising there was no toy line, Saturday morning cartoon or breakfast cereal. There was a short-lived tv series, but that's it

So why do you think Stratos was never a core member who was in every episode of every of every iteration the way Teela and Man At Arms were?

Same goes for Mer-Man on the other side.

I've always heard there are certain things you can do to help the bee and monarch butterfly population, and with so many posts about not seeing lightning bugs this summer, I wondered if you could do the same for them. Below is the information I've found along with a couple of websites.

Plants That Help Lightning Bugs Thrive

Fireflies need tall grasses, native wildflowers, and moist plant cover. These three categories are the most effective.

Native Grasses (Little Bluestem, Switchgrass)

Shelter for firefly larvae

Native grasses create dense, moist cover where firefly larvae hunt snails and worms. Their tall blades offer daytime hiding spots for adults and help maintain humidity, which fireflies need to survive.

Light: Full sun to part shade

Evergreen: No

Maintenance: Very low

Goldenrod (Solidago)

Late-season nectar & habitat

Goldenrod supports insects firefly larvae feed on, and its tall stems create excellent cover. Despite myths, goldenrod doesn’t cause allergies and is one of the best native plants for insect diversity.

Light: Full sun

Evergreen: No

Maintenance: Low

Milkweed (Common, Swamp, Butterfly)

Moisture-loving firefly habitat

Milkweed clusters create humid microclimates fireflies love. Their broad leaves shade the soil, keeping it damp for larvae. Plus, they support monarchs and other pollinators, boosting overall ecosystem health.

Light: Full sun

Evergreen: No

Maintenance: Low

Extra Tips to Boost Firefly Activity

These matter just as much as the plants:

1. Keep areas a little wild

Fireflies avoid manicured lawns. Let a corner grow tall or leave leaf litter.

2. Reduce outdoor lighting

Artificial light disrupts firefly mating signals. Even switching to warmer bulbs helps.

3. Maintain moisture

Fireflies thrive in damp soil. A small patch of native plants you water lightly is enough.

4. Avoid pesticides

Even “natural” sprays kill the insects fireflies feed on.

5. Add logs or mulch

Firefly larvae hide under decaying wood and organic matter.

I still call it Giants Stadium.

Just thought I'd share this silly thing with everyone. I got the idea when I was watching the clip and noticed how he's looking up and thought it would make a great meme.

I hope there's more to this plan.

I'm not a very good judge of talent when it comes to instruments unless it's very obvious. So, I was wondering what your opinion is. Is he mid, horrible, or amongst the best?
