Open Letter

So this is my "open letter" or "opinion piece" or "op-ed" on something that just popped into my head as I took a quick walk through Downtown Toms River.

I must speak frankly about the reaction to this past Monday's Amber Alert.

It's embarrassing to admit, but I spend too much time chasing the ice cream truck in my Galloway, New Jersey neighborhood, yet I still have NO ice cream.

I recently became aware of a young girl in Ocean County who took her own life. A high school kid who had so much to offer. It brings tears to my eyes when I see her picture. How does someone get to that point of desperation?

As happy as we are to see a few more Shake Shack restaurants popping up in Jersey, we're surprised there's still not one in Atlantic County!

The stories I am seeing in the headlines are unacceptable and you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

There is no excuse for this.

Let me settle the argument once and for all, Central Jersey does indeed exist.
