      Colleen, you really do a great job of reporting all the fundraising activities locally. I think there’s a heartening message here — that even in the worst recessionary times in recent history, Americans selflessly give what they can to help others. The goodwill is immeasurable!

    Here's a mystery for an ambitious gumshoe: what happened to this pretty lady's nose?

    The hallmark statue of downtown Freehold--located at the front of the Hall of Records parking lot-- is looking a bit like Owen Wilson these days, and we're wondering who's run off with her honker.

      Welcome San Marzano’s! We hope the owners and staff will soon attend an upcoming council meeting and introduce themselves to our town.

      In these tough economic times, we are very fortunate to live in a thriving town in which one business – in this case a restaurant – closes and a new one opens in its place, almost overnight.

      I personally, look forward to stopping by and seeing what Freehold Borough’s newest eatery addition has to offer its patrons. They are in a beautiful space and I am sure their delicious cuisine and warm ambiance will add another winner to the Boro’s lengthy list of excellent restaurants.

      Best of luck to San Marzano’s!!!!

      We wanted to thank you for the warm welcome. We are very excited to be a part of such an exciting and welcoming town! We look forward to serving you and hope to be a part of this community for a long time. Please stop by. We would love to meet you!

      I just wanted to say that recently my family and I stopped in for a bite to eat at the new San Marzano Pizzeria. We couldnt have been happier about our experience. The food was out of this world and the service was on point. The staff there made our family feel very comfortable. The place is very warm and inviting and the atmosphere reminded us of our own family get togethers. Two cheers for San Marzano. Best of luck. We cant wait to stop in again soon.
