New Jersey Newsroom Feature - January 14, 2010:

A New Jersey Turnpike road companion – all about those folks we honor through rest stops
New Jersey Newsroom Feature - November 27, 2009:
Just who are the people that the New Jersey Turnpike rest areas are named after?
Clearly, some names are familiar to most of us. Others are more obscure.

Giving thanks for the Garden State ... and how New Jersey got its nickname
New Jersey Newsroom Feature - November 20, 2009:
It's so present on a daily basis — right there on our license plates and on our road signs: The words "Garden State." We seem to take our state slogan for granted. Also, to some it sounds so absurdly out of place that it does not to even deserve to be considered even for a moment.
But in this time of harvest bounty as we point towards Thanksgiving, let's suspend our cynicism for a moment to consider our official state nickname and what it's about.

Ghost towns of New Jersey have something to tell us
New Jersey Newsroom Feature - October 23, 2009:
Look at a map of New Jersey, and you'll find places listed that really don't exist anymore. Yes, the names are right there on the map. But if you actually travel to a place like Ong's Hat, you won't find much. Places where there were once communities now have none. For all purposes they have vanished.

Origin of Manhattan Transfer is part of N.J. history
New Jersey Newsroom Article - September 24, 2009:
Manhattan Transfer was a passenger rail station in Harrison on the Pennsylvania Railroad's main line to New York City, now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. It consisted of two transfer platforms, one on each side of the PRR line.
The original purposes of the station were for changing steam locomotives to electric locomotives on trains bound for Penn Station in midtown Manhattan. It also allowed passengers to transfer between these trains and trains bound for Exchange Place and a ferry connection to lower Manhattan, before the PRR was electrified to Philadelphia. When the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (later called the Hudson Tubes, and now known as PATH) was opened to Newark, one track was built on each side of the PRR in the area of Manhattan Transfer, and Hudson & Manhattan Railroad trains (H&M) stopped there, giving additional connecting service to lower Manhattan.

The story behind New Jersey’s original Blue Star Drive
New Jersey Newsroom Feature - August 19, 2009:
If you travel through the seemingly endless sprawl along Route 22, near Watchung, you'll come across a sign announcing "The Blue Star Shopping Center." To most the sign merely distinguishes it from similar retail counterparts to be found up and down the road and around the state.
But to others the "Blue Star" has meaning.
