Between Channel Lumber and Rickel, I thought that Rickel's had more stuff that you would usually need. If you wanted plywood or timber, you went to Channel.

This thread brings back memories. Now I can't get rid of that Rickel radio jingle out of my head.

The DeCamp buses were very convenient for Bloomfield; Montclair; West Orange. etc. I don't think that NJ Transit will take over that service, since they are doing a lot of revamping of their own bus lines. DeCamp will surely be missed for transit into NYC.

That's an old picture. A-1 is demolished and flattened. The AirTrain project is next up on the list, after the other two banjo's (A-2 & A-3) are demolished - which is in progress right now. Once that work is done, the rest of the gates will open up (Phase 2). The AirTrain's maintenance shed is where you see "Bombardier Transportation (that is a spur off the main line) and the PA wasn't going to run the new line from there. So you would either take a bus or walk to the P1 station (where the rental cars are presently at - CONRAC will be fully open during Phase 2) The design for the new Terminal A has an extension that will connect with the new Terminal B (which will be a whole new building) in the future. This situation with the AirTrain will be a ongoing situation, as more busses will shuttle passengers between Terminals (Landside) and passengers (Airside). Bottom line: once the new AirTrain is done, it will be a easy - right in front station. But that will be a few years coming since I don't know how long the AirTrain project will take. The new Terminal B is in the pipeline as well. We'll have to bear with for a while.

I prefer Millburn Deli. A bit better than Town Hall Deli in South Orange. But both are pretty good if you want a good sloppy joe. Millburn's sandwiches (if you buy one) are cut into triangles. But that looks like a party platter. I usually get the corned beef / pastrami combo.

All the lawyer will do is all of the legwork for you. That is the cost for that service. And to help with out any extraneous circumstances in your case. The process may be a little easier and quicker, since a lawyer has faster access to the courts.

I did mine myself. I didn't use a lawyer since the process was straightforward. You have to pay for the application / filing fee at the County Clerk's office; then putting the first notice (public) in the newspaper in your area that you are changing your name (this step is required before going to court - the filing papers from the court you will receive will tell you what newspaper to put the ad in.) Once you do that and send it to the court, you will get your court date. When you go to court, you will be in front of a judge where you will explain the reason why the name change. After the verdict is given, you will once again put another public notice in the newspaper saying that the new or revised name will be in effect according to the date of the court's judgement. Once that requirement is done, you will received the notarized paperwork with the court seal making it an official document. You will also have to file a copy to the Bureau of Taxation in Trenton within 30 days. I forgot how much the filing fee was, but the ads cost close to 60.00 apiece for a 1"x1" sized ad. Unless you have circumstances that you may need a lawyer, the process is easy. My process took about a month in total. I had to change to my full name, (because my SS card and my Passport is different from my DL and Birth Certificate) so all of my documents match up without issue due to my work.

You have to pay online for the replacement first. A lot of the MVC functions now are online only, to save time.
