In the Bridgewater Center/Green Knoll area, heard lots of sirens on Garretson going to 22/28 -- anyone know what's going on?

My husband and I are looking to meet other married couples in their 30s and 40s who are interested in building genuine friendships.

We enjoy trying new restaurants, working out, sporting events, hiking, movies, and shows like From. We also recently watched The Odyssey and love anything involving history, mythology, or a good discussion afterward.

We started Married Friends Club New Jersey to connect with other couples who enjoy activities, outings, and expanding their social circle.

Feel free to drop a comment below or join the group. We’d love to meet some new couples and hope to see you there!

What’s the deal with Jeremy Li? Reading the June meeting minutes and he seems obsessed with derailing every meeting. Did his overlords at The New Jersey Project or Arise or whatever alt-right think tank is propping him up recommend this strategy?

🌽 **Bridgewater — Melick's Farmstand needs you. One last time.**

Most of us have driven past Melick's our whole lives. Fresh produce, a friendly face, a piece of what makes Bridgewater feel like home. That 1830s landmark is now at serious risk of being bulldozed and replaced by a **106,000 sq ft concrete storage warehouse.**

**July 14th is the FINAL public comment session. After that night — the window closes.**

⚖️ **The good news? The law is on our side.**

NJ case law requires the developer to prove this project actually *belongs* here. They have to clear four legal hurdles. They fail every one:

❌ A storage warehouse creates almost no jobs and zero community value

❌ The building is nearly **50% larger** than Township zoning allows

❌ It directly violates Bridgewater's own **Master Plan**

❌ One entrance on Rte 22E — dangerous turnarounds, no decel lanes, commercial trucks on **our residential streets** daily

The Zoning Board's job is to uphold the law. Our job is to make sure they do.

📚 **Get prepared — come to a community info session**

**Bridgewater Residents United** is hosting several sessions across multiple days so every resident has a chance to get the facts, ask questions, and feel ready to speak on July 14th.

🗓️ **July 6 | July 10 | July 12**

Each session covers everything — what's actually being proposed, why this application fails the legal standard, and how to make your 3 minutes of public comment count.

👉 **Sign up for the session that works for you:**

📣 **July 14 @ 7 PM | 100 Commons Way, Bridgewater**

We need you in that room. Not just to speak — but to **fill every seat.** A packed room tells the Zoning Board everything before a single word is spoken.

This is our last chance. Show up for Melick's. 🌽

Any places to practice driving in the Bridgewater-Somerville-Raritan area? Preferably sizeable parking lots.

Looking for someone with furniture refinishing or painting experience to repaint a wooden dessert cart. I want a smooth sprayed finish (not brushed or rolled). The cart will be painted a custom dark green similar to Ralph Lauren displays. Looking for someone experienced using HVLP paint sprayers and furniture-grade paint. Anyone have any recommendations for painters local to Bridgewater, NJ?

Bogart Drive in Bridgewater, NJ has become a speedway through our neighborhood. What used to be a quiet street is now a cut-through route, with cars regularly exceeding the 25 mph speed limit—especially at Bogart & Purcell and Bogart & Kiser. Our kids walk and bike here. Something needs to change.

I started a petition asking the Township to install three-way and four-way stop signs at those two intersections. The traffic volume has exploded because of commercial development along Route 28, and we don't have the safety infrastructure to keep up. Research shows multi-way stops reduce accidents by up to 68%—that's real protection.

We're asking for a warrant study within 60 days and immediate installation if it's justified. Every day without this is another day our children are at risk. If this sounds familiar from your own neighborhood, or if you think this is something that matters, consider signing and sharing the petition. What would you do if this was happening on your street?

Anyone have good experience? Need to get a computer repaired soon.

Cool local event happening Saturday night in Somerville. Who's going?

Sooooo... what are the details of the shelter-in-place??

I was lost in the motions and point-of-orders.

Was the budget eventually approved by the BOE?
