There is a large and growing community of border criminals there and it's making the town a very tense place. I used to live near there and everyone I've talked to in that area tells me that they've all but destroyed what was once a nice little town.

The locals and other Americans there are fed up and tensions are running very high. They had a demonstration last week that came very close to turning violent.

My stepsister still lives there, as well as my aunt and uncle. SS has said it has gotten bad there but A and U have never said a word! My dad recently passed and lived in Delran still, on the Riverside side of the highway (our kitchen was in Riverside, lol) and I still have friends there. I didn't realize things had escalated like this though! Thanks for the update!

Oh yeah! That's why I'm heading down there! I'm leaving in the morning, will do some geocaching on Thursday and then head to the Festival grounds. I'm not camping on site this year, I'm staying in Carneys Point.

I may not be back on here til I get back... unfortunately the whole forecast changed in the last few hours. Was supposed to be dry through Tuesday, now it's chances of rain all the way through :(

well, that didn't work out :(

I did not go, due to Ernesto :(

It is disappointing.

AH Bayonne!! Got love it. ;)
My two oldest kids graduated from Bayonne High(NBU). One of the nicest things about Bayonne is the park.



Not in Jersey now but grew up there - Bayonne, Iselin, Elizabeth, and back to Bayonne.

Went to Bayonne High (NBU - Newark Bay University)

:)
