OPINION: Shocking Video of Division Street Yard; Gloucester City’s $1000 Trash Can Fine

Trash Can Law to Be Enforced, BUT Division St. Resident Junk Yard Ok

CNBNews video

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ (November 29, 2025)(CNBNews)–On Tuesday, November 26, we spoke with a resident of Gloucester City living on the 600 block of Division Street regarding the condition of his yard. In our opinion, it resembles a junkyard. He informed us that once he finishes remodeling the interior of his home, he will relocate the items he is currently storing in his side yard back inside. When we asked to see what he had been remodeling inside his house, he refused. He said he would file a lawsuit against CNBNews if any article or photo were published about him. This individual is a disabled Army veteran who served in the Vietnam War. One person familiar with the situation suggested that his status as a disabled veteran is the reason he has been allowed to ignore the city’s housing regulations.

Legion Dishes Out Food, Camaraderie and Blessings

In 2008, a group of Kansas American Legion Riders got together to come up with a way to support the soldiers going through the newly opened Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB) at Fort Riley. The resulting idea: The Big Red Turkey Run, which would deliver Thanksgiving dinners to the soldiers and their families just ahead of the holiday.

Eszter Blair, a member of ALR Chapter 40 in Leonardville who was one of those involved in the initial run, said around 25 military families going through the WTB were provided dinners that year.

The scale of the operation, as well as both the recipients and participants, has grown dramatically. But the mission remains the same – to ensure those serving at Fort Riley know The American Legion Family has their back.
