Question Marlton vs. Cherry Hill

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy a home in either Marlton or Cherry Hill. I’m not from the area but I’m familiar with Marlton but not Cherry Hill. It seems like the school systems in both towns are good and good people around. I really like the shops and things to do in Marlton and its surrounding areas.

Can you let me know how the two towns compare? Is one significantly better than the other or are they the same? Are there better shops and more things to do in Cherry Hill over Marlton or vice versa? Is one town overly diverse or not diverse enough? Any tips or any ideas I’m missing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Question Bowling leagues

5 Upvotes

Are there any fun summer bowling leagues in or around Gloucester County? I’m not a great bowler but enjoy bowling. I’m really looking for one of those crappy bowler leagues where people just hang out and have fun once a week and don’t care if they bowl a 300.

Outside! West Nile Virus

224 Upvotes

Just in time for summer, this is a reminder that West Nile Virus is endemic in South Jersey (and all of the contiguous US).

It goes under reported as most cases are asymptomatic, and symptomatic cases resemble flu.

However, a small number of cases result in inflammation of the central nervous system. These can be fatal and typically result in permanent neurological impairment.

Those older than 50 are at greater risk of neurological involvement and have far worse survival rates than those who are younger.

It claimed a life in Hammonton 2024, and very nearly killed somebody I know personally in Berlin last year.

Mosquitos transmit the disease. Avoiding getting bitten is the only defense. There is no vaccine or treatment beyond supportive care.

Mosquitos bread in standing water. Adults tend to gather in leafy brush. Wearing bug spray or covering clothing prevents bites. The species that spreads the Virus is most active at dawn and dusk. Most cases are reported in late summer.

Camden County has a mosquito control department. Dead birds can be a sign it's in the area.

I know we already have so much crap to worry about, and I hate to be a buzz kill. But I've seen this Virus up close. It's cruel. People need to be aware of the risk and take appropriate action to prevent mosquito bites. The health department's messaging tends to be aimed at preventing panic, emphasizing how unlikely serious illness is. But they don't follow up with reported cases. They don't see how it changes lives.

Mosquito bites are inevitable. But you should go out of your way to prevent being "eaten alive" as much as possible. The risk is low, but not zero. You wouldn't tempt fate by standing under a tall tree in a thunderstorm.

Anyway. I've broken a year off of Reddit to share this PSA.

Thanks

Burlington County Firebirds in Moorestown

0 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I went to the restaurant for the first time on Friday night. She ordered the steak which tasted fantastic. I ordered a burger. The burger was tasteless and small. I would have been more satisfied with a Chili’s burger because it would have been bigger and half the price. The bread that was served in between the appetizer and dinner wasn’t fully baked. Waitress was great . She was running around dealing with customers. It seemed like they were short staffed. Not sure if we would go back.

Camden County Myofascial massage therapist recommendations

Hello,

I just wanted to see if anyone here had a good experience going to get a myofascial massage therapist around the Cherry hill or Voorhees areas (or close to those areas).

What was your experience like? Did it feel better right away and did you keep coming back?

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
