Me thinks he's still trying to keep that "walk up" ticket buyer  

 

 

 

A break right now, but just watched the local weather and another bad round coming by 8:00.

 Ok.. so we're killing time, and nobody has any more available washed pillows for a knock down pillow fight, here are some notables that have their roots in Clifton, New Jersey :

 Rubin Carter... Heavyweight Boxer, Author, Writer, Prisoner, that was the subject for movie and Bob Dylan's song " Hurricane " ( great song by the way, imo )

 Bartolo Colon, NY Mets.. still pitches in MLB today at age 73... or something

 David Chase.. Creator, Producer of the series " The Sopranos " ( no, I don't know him, nor care too at the moment ) Good TV show.

 Tommy James.... of " Tommy James and the Shondells ". Its a dino thing. You'd have to be around in the 60's to remember this rock n roll group.

 William Staub.... the Inventor of the Home Treadmill. ( anybody know what a treadmill is? I think its a contraption that has you run in place for an hour and a half to lose the calories from a cup of yogurt or something)

Cadets in touch with a weather service and they do expect the rain to move out by 6 or 630 ish 

Problem is just came through there and parts of 46 are flooded which bods poorly for those traveling anywhere near the stadium. Was going to go back and see the show but I HATE traffic and route 46 lol.

Clifton is an amazing city.Clifton was a big manufacturing city. Multi ethnic, cultural, etc. There are 2 side to the city unfortunately. Lower class and middle class. In the 90's it went sour and a lot of businesses moved out. It has a high crime rate in certain parts and in others it is really nice. I have a lot of clients there. But let me say I would not walk the downtown area after 10 at night.

46, 17 are flooded. Storm is over but even my street here in Nutley is flooded which it never does.

I hope the show does not get cancelled. It's such a big event and possible moneymaker for the host(s). 

They have a brief window, It just stopped but another round is coming, I do not think they will get a full show in
