COLLINGSWOOD NJ (CNBNews.net)–Il Fiore is a great restaurant at a terrific value. It is located on Haddon Avenue, where Collings Avenue intersects with it. It is highly rated on both Yelp and Trip Advisor. It features substantial portions at very modest prices. One of my favorites is the Seafood Risotto (Risotto Pescatora). It has a variety of seafood and is a real deal at $14. The Salmon is also a bargain at the same price. I’d recommend getting it with no sauce or only light sauce. My wife likes the Lemon Chicken (Pollo Limone).

WOODBURY NJ June 6, 2015–An $8,000 reward continues to be offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Desiree McGraw, whose body was found behind a Deptford Township NJ fire company building on 6/6/06.
The mother of two children was left on the ground behind the fire company headquarters in the Jericho section of Deptford. A member of the company found her partially-clothed body while inspecting the property before primary election voting that was to take place in the building that day. Her death from a single gunshot wound was characterized as a \”premeditated murder\” and not a random act. Robbery did not appear to be a motive. Drug involvement was one possibility.

Opening day of the Gloucester City Park, King Street and the Delaware River (1930\’s)

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ –Several years ago, there was talk of a project down along the river that would have been called Hollywood East. Well, it never got off the drawing board; but, if it had, it still would not have been the first Hollywood in Gloucester City. Before Camden County built what is now Proprietor\’s Park, that area along King St. was filled with houses, businesses, and many boat houses and called Hollywood.
The year 1929, construction work begins on the Gloucester City Park, King Street and the Delaware River
That area was also home to the famous Hugg\’s Tavern. Hugg\’s was built in 1721; and, as everyone knows,
Betsy Grissom married John Ross there and became Betsy Ross. It is a real pity that county officials did not have the foresight to save the tavern. It was torn down in 1929 to build the park.
The riverfront of Hollywood was filled with boat houses, and I have heard that, during prohibition, more than one load of beer and whiskey found its way into Gloucester by the way of boats coming into Hollywood. In fact, at the time, officals of the county stated that the reason for locating the park where it is was to remove the evil that was Hollywood\’s boat house district.
The park was opened in the early 30s and operated as a county park until Camden County bulldozed the pool about 25 years ago and gave the park back to the city. While it is sad that the swimming pool and the dance hall over the pool building are now gone, I really think the city has done a fantastic job with the park. There is now a marina, a fishing pier, and a lovely river walk.
If you have not visited the park recently, stop by. You will be pleasantly surprised.

They evidently weren’t in northeastern Pennsylvania, because just six years after Ford’s hit, a handful of local lawmakers cooked up a scheme to boost the anthracite coal industry. In May 1961 the American taxpayer started to pay to ship American coal to power U.S. bases in Germany. Half a century later, taxpayers are still paying to ship coal and that earned the House and Senate Appropriations Committees a \”Golden Fleece.\”
