Only In New Jersey -Whats The Buzz

What's the Buzz?

Camden may get its fair share of abuse, but this is the perfect time to check out its waterfront district—from Campbell’s Field, home of the minor-league Riversharks; to Adventure Aquarium (home of real sharks and other cool creatures); Battleship New Jersey, and the Tweeter Center. Ballgames, kid stuff, or concert? Great options, especially on a Friday night, when you get a nice view of the fireworks launched from the Philadelphia side of the Delaware...

Only in New Jersey could a place like the 500 Club in Atlantic City exist in the glory days of the 1950s and early 1960s. It was run by Skinny D’Amato, who was very close to the Mob but just as close to Hoboken’s number-one citizen, Frank Sinatra. When Sinatra’s career was on the rocks, Skinny brought Frank back to the 500, and a comeback was born... Speaking of Atlantic City, one of New Jersey’s most colorful politicians, newly retired State Senator Bill Gormley, is already missed, by friends and foes alike.
