3. Upgrade at Rumson Schools: Both Rumson Borough and the Rumson School District in a first-ever joint effort have teamed up to address what they deem is a long-needed improvement: the revitalization of the school’s athletic fields. The plans for upgrading the fields, according to Borough Administrator Thomas Rogers, include completely updating the existing ball field and also upgrading the current mini soccer field with a full-size regulation soccer field. The project will also expand the blacktop play area and mini basketball courts. Click to read more about this project.

4. Gone Fishin'? Thanks to a Fair Haven neighbor, there is a new local shop you can stop at to get all of your bait and tackle needs. If you head down the end of River Rd., you will run right into Pride Fishing Tackle on Front St. in Red Bank. The shop’s been open a week, opening less than month after Berry earned approval from Red Bank’s Zoning Board in May to turn an out-of-use print shop on Front Street into the area’s newest retail fishing destination.
