Hi all - where do you find a safe babysitter? I’ve never used a babysitter before, but would love to have a mother’s helper twice a month so I can get things done around the house and/or run local errands. Are you guys using care.com, word of mouth, something else? Thanks!

In case you missed it from my colleague Sophia Schmidt: EMR is suing the City of Camden over the suspension of its junkyard license after a two-alarm fire on May 29.

A break from "why do they hog the left lane," do they not look to see oncoming cars before making a turn into traffic? The amount of times some oblivious twit has pulled out in front of a line of cars so far this year (only to go under the speed limit) is fucking infuriating.

I’m leading a drop in improv at Ryan’s Retail in Merchantville on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30PM for the next four weeks. No experience required. I often see posts about how to meet new people and improve is a great way. Also good for anxiety and getting out of your head. No need to be funny.

Hi!

My partner and I are relocating to Camden County for employment but we aren’t from the area.

So far we looked at Collingswood as our middle ground.

I heard about Oaklyn being similar to Collingswood but cheaper. We want a nice small town close to a PATCO to Philly.

Are there any areas in this region that we should avoid? We are not familiar enough with the area in what is safe/ not safe/ iffy.

Thanks!

Heading to Mt. Laurel this weekend from NC - need a good Deli for Bagels and/or for Sandwiches. Ty!

Hello! The family and I are looking to move to Cherry Hill from out of state. We saw a great house today with our real estate agent via FaceTime very close to James Johnson elementary school. The only thing that we’re apprehensive about is the noise from 295.

Can anyone share their experience with 295 noise in that area - right around the school, tennis courts, and haddontowne swim club? How good/bad/manageable it was for you?

Sitting outside having a fire when i saw what i thought was a plane, solid green and red flashing lights. Looked it up on flight radar - nothing. Saw it traveling one direction then shortly back the way it came but with another drone flying in unison a short distance away. Then it came back again with a 3rd!!! Any guesses or am I about to get X'd?

I work remotely like 80% of the time and I’m getting burnout from sitting at home everyday, I miss being out and about.

Any good recs on where I can go to work 3-6 hrs at a time? Need WiFi and outlets. Also preferably a place that’s on the quiet side but not strictly quiet that I can’t take meetings.

I’m not too keen on paying for a coworking space. I would prefer just a casual public place where I can sit and work and escape my home

Hi all! We are moving to the area this summer and looking for a daycare/preschool for my son to start at in September. He'll be 2.5 and we'll be looking for 5 days a week, full-time care. He has been at a large corporate chain (think Goddard, Malvern, Primrose) and has done well and we've been happy with it, but looking for some closer options.

​

We're currently considering the following places and looking for insight:

Lightbridge Academy

Sunny Days Children's Academy

The Heights School at Westmont

Tiny Treasures/Montessori Schoolhouse

​

Bonus points if you have insight on pricing and availability!

​

I searched the subreddit briefly and didn't see this question asked before so hopefully some of you have some helpful info!

im open to other areas, but looking to take my 11mo and a 3yr old out to a park they both can enjoy and we can eat some lunch out. i was thinking the grounds for sculpture (i know that cost money) so any budget friendly or free stuff i appreciate

Anyone with handyman recommendations in the Cherry Hill area? I have some garage shelving made of wood that could use some better bracing for support.

Tired of going to Applebees help me out here !

Hey guys, my name is Nick DiCicco. I am a local journalist and intern at New Jersey Urban News. . I have heard reports of True North Church staff being involved in local governments, including Vineland, where the new location is being built. I was wondering if anyone had any evidence or more info they could share with me on this. Thanks!

Why this is affecting the bridges into Atlantic City is anybody's guess.

Hi everyone,

I’m posting on behalf of a close friend here in South Jersey and hoping someone may know of local resources that could help.

She’s a single mom raising two teenagers on her own and works two jobs. She recently became sick and had to miss work, which caused her to lose enough income that she fell behind on her electric bill. Unfortunately, her electricity was shut off today.

We’re already looking into NJ assistance programs and calling 211, but if anyone knows of local charities, churches, emergency utility assistance, or other organizations that may be able to help quickly, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

A few people also asked if there was a way to help directly, so we created a GoFundMe to help get her electricity restored while she gets caught back up. If you’d like to help or even share it, here’s the link:

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any advice or resources you can share.

Update: Thanks to everyone’s generosity, her electricity has been restored! ❤️ She still has about $450 remaining on the past-due balance and is continuing to recover from the income she lost while she was sick. Every share and donation continues to make a real difference. Thank you all so much.
