Joey, if you had a gold star up on your house, or in your house during ww2, it meant you had lost a child in the war. Hence, Gold Star Mother.   more ›

Navesink Art Series Connects Former Fair Haveners Internationally

A local's relationships inspire art that captures our home in never seen before light.

I came across these silk screens of the Navesink on Facebook and they stopped me in my tracks.  I had never seen our river portrayed as it is here, in the images in the video.  And the story of how they came to be matches the intensity of the images.  Grab a pen because you'll want to contact the talented artist, Tess Krus, immediately and get your hands on at least one.  They're one of a kind!  In case you miss it in the video, email Tess at contact@smeltkrus.com

Fair Haven Crossing Guard Stops Crime With A Smile

Harvey The Crossing Guard Keeps Fair Haven's Most Trafficked Corner Safe For All.

It's about this time of year that I really start to miss seeing Harvey Tilton's smiling face standing, greeting, and waving kids to safety at the intersection of Fair Haven and River Roads.  I stopped in to talk to Harvey and got a glimpse of all that goes into his day.  And it's much more than just crossing children safely - which would be more than enough!  I think Harvey sums up his approach to work in life in one simple sentence in the video.  When you hear it, you'll know.  It's the reason he's great at what he does, the reason he's a fixture of the neighborhood, and of our lives.  Thanks, Harvey!

The REAL Jersey Shore

Listen Up MTV, This is OUR Jersey Shore!

The REAL Jersey Shore video series highlights our home the way it deserves to be seen

If you've grown up in the Rumson-Fair Haven area like I have, chances are you feel empassioned about the way our home has been portrayed in the media lately.  In an effort to counteract the hype about big hair (well, I can't really help with that one), bar fights and frequent misbehaving on the sand, I embarked upon a mission to capture our home and all of its beauty.   The video above captures some of the many places that define my childhood, and I'm sure, yours.  Enjoy! -Jersey Shore Laur
