Town Sets Up Ads Through Digital Sign
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Property lots for sale, higher fines for trespassers and a new digital message sign were all subjects up for vote by an abbreviated Township Council recently. A bid was awarded to Meco Inc. for the township’s roadway improvement program and a contract was approved for the leasing of public space and advertisement concession at the township municipal building. This concerned a firm that will provide an electronic sign, replacing the one that the township lost during a car accident that destroyed it at the same site early in the year. Umba said he was directed to go back to the contractor and ask for any marijuana sales to be negated from that contract (meaning no advertisements for cannabis products could be included on the electronic sign board). There are other restrictions concerning any businesses deemed non-family oriented. “We had several people inquire to us which is why we put it out to bid.

By Patrick LaMorte TOMS RIVER – With the AMC Seacourt 10 Movie theater closing, it’s not hard to feel like a little piece of the community will go with it. Back in the day, it was Loews Theaters,
then Sony Theaters, until finally switching to AMC. But most of us knew it simply as Seacourt theater. A 10-screen cinema was huge for its time, and unheard of now because of oversized recliner seats take up
more space. Seacourt had two of the biggest theaters in the country at the time that held over 500 seats each. And you walked into a huge lobby with a high mirrored ceiling filled with hundreds of
