Housekeeper, homeowner held at gunpoint as men ransack house in South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A group of armed men forced their way into a home Tuesday afternoon, holding a housekeeper and the homeowner at gunpoint while ransacking the house and then fleeing with valuables, police said.

Investigators say the housekeeper was the lone occupant at 14 Harmony Lane when the doorbell rang just before noon Tuesday. The woman told police she opened the door for what she believed was one person, but found two additional men outside who promptly rushed into the home.

So much for the idea that South Brunswick is quiet and safe.

Wonder if we’ll see this on “Township TV”?

Yet Another Accident at Stillwell and Rt27

Three car rear ender. Like elephants, nose to tail and nose to tail.

Why can't we have a "sympathetic" light at that corner in time with the one just a little south from there?

Would make it easier for everyone!

Argh!

GRAND SLAM struck out

Anyone notice that GRAND SLAM down the road from the new High School has closed its doors. It's been a fixture for ages.



(At the risk of being political, this is NOT the kind of "change" that I was "hoping" for!)

20090219 Frayed Flags in South Brunswick

Disrespectful?

As a vet, I just shake my head at the attitude that permits it.

We have boys and girls at risk in the field. We can't even treat the symbol that they are dying for with some modest amount of respect.

Supreme Court favors developer of Rt. 27 pharmacy

Court says the S.B. council's decision to rezone is 'arbitrary and capricious'

BY MICHAEL ACKER Staff Writer

*** begin quote ***

Inverse spot zoning is when a municipality decides against a plan that is permissible, according to the town's zoning and master plan. The state's highest court ruled 5-2 in favor of Riya Finnegan LLC on Dec. 22, overturning a lower court ruling in favor of the Township Council's decision to rezone a nearly 13-acre property off Route 27 at the intersection of Finnegans Lane.

I'm sure that will enrage some and make one developer very happy.
