So some weird shit happened about an hour ago. We actually got a fucking EARTHQUAKE. As in, a magnitude 4.8 earthquake in the suburbs.

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. More than enough to make noise and scare people here in Brooklyn.

Cryan's Tavern - Beaver Ave in Annandale, NJ

I had Cryan's come highly recommended to me by some co-workers who live by it and again, decided I had to try it for myself. Looking at their menu, you can see that they have a ton of specialty pies that sound DOPE but I decided to stick with a margarita for my first go around. Now an Irish tavern does not strike me as a place that would have good pizza, but Cryan's can definitely hold their own. Cheese was good, but the crust had that cracker-thin thing going on and the sauce was a little over seasoned for me. However, if you're less picky with your sauce than I am, you might love Cryan's. At $12 for a small pie though, I'm a little less thrilled. However, I am definitely interested in going back at some point to try a specialty pie because seriously some of them just sound awesome. I seriously need to try a Reuben pie from an Irish tavern.

In Search of Spooky Thrills

Be careful what you wish for

If Shades Of Death Road doesn't get your attention in late October, what will?

Like most rural legends the horrific tales of this drive which passes Ghost Lake (why wouldn't it?) in Warren County, NJ, is highly embellished, but so what? I had to see for myself what stories it had to tell on this perfect fall day, with farm country roads, trees in autumn glory, and the promise of a great pastrami sandwich beckoning.

My "thrill" came later in the day on a road filled with ancient farm building ruins, abandoned cars and crumbling tarmac.

Music: an instrumental version of the Annie Lennox version of I Put a Spell On You performed by Gioia Lentini.

By the time Cuqui Rivera had to renew her car insurance policy in December 2019, the longtime activist had only heard about some of the reasons she — a Hispanic female with a high school diploma — may pay more than her white, college-educated neighbors.

So, Rivera decided, "Let me be your guinea pig," she said. "Let's see if this is true."

She looked on the website of Liberty Mutual, the company she had been with for at least two decades, to see if it said anything about factoring education, work history and credit score into insurance rates. She said she found nothing.

Her annual policy with Liberty Mutual cost $2,997, Rivera said. She went to CURE, the West Windsor-based insurance company, and said she found the same policy for $1,188, a 60% savings.

That's because CURE is the only insurance company that doesn't factor in education, employment and credit score when determining a driver's rate, according to the advocacy group New Jersey Citizen Action.

The result of using these "income proxies" in rate-setting is a racial and class disparity that Rivera and other advocates say amounts to widespread discrimination in New Jersey — disparities that the insurance industry does not deny but insists are incidental to societal realities beyond their control.

Advocates have pressed lawmakers, as they have for more than a decade, to change the law so companies can no longer use those factors and others, such as marital status and whether a driver owns a home, to determine insurance rates.

But their mission has been unsuccessful. A bill that would exclude those factors from insurance rate-setting narrowly cleared the Senate but was not posted in the Assembly on the last day of the legislative session last week, meaning it must start the process over again.

That means drivers in mostly Black neighborhoods in cities like Paterson, heavily Latino areas like Camden and low-income towns like Lakewood will likely continue paying higher rates for car insurance than people who live nearby in mostly white, higher-income communities such as Ridgewood, Cherry Hill and Brick.

On average statewide, drivers who live in majority Black and Latino ZIP codes pay nearly 50% higher premiums than those in majority-white ZIP codes, according to the Consumer Federation of America. Drivers in mostly low-income ZIP codes pay nearly 52% higher premiums, on average, than those in high-income areas, the federation said.

"There is a disproportionate penalty levied on African Americans and Latinos," said Douglas Heller, an insurance expert with the consumer federation.

"Every day that is delayed" passing the insurance legislation, he said, "New Jersey residents with perfectly good driving records are paying too much for insurance because policymakers are afraid to stare down insurance companies."

Representatives for insurance lobbying groups in New Jersey did not respond to interview requests, but in testimony on the bill last year they denied discrimination in rate-setting.

Rates vary by race throughout NJ

Rates can vary by hundreds of dollars within one small area. Take a 4-mile stretch of mostly white towns in the Meadowlands, for example.

According to the data, the average annual rate in Carlstadt is $1,822. It's $1,707 next door in Rutherford. And in the next town over, Lyndhurst, it's $1,688.

But racial disparities are clear through New Jersey, according to a USA TODAY Network analysis of the data, which was collected in 2020 by the insurance data company Quadrant Information Services and provided by the federation.

All but one of the top 25 ZIP codes with the lowest average annual insurance premiums — about $1,071 — were mostly white, affluent suburbs concentrated in Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset counties, according to the analysis. The one ZIP code that was majority Black represented a population of 258 people across half a square mile in Bernards Township, a Somerset County town that is 68% white, according to U.S. census data.

The 25 ZIP codes with the highest average premiums — about $2,250 — were in mostly Black, low-income cities in North Jersey, including Elizabeth, Fairview, Irvington, Newark, North Bergen, Passaic and Paterson.

Here are the 10 ZIP codes in New Jersey with the lowest average annual insurance premiums and the 10 zip codes with the highest.

So. We just had an earthquake. 4.7 or 4.8, or so the early reports say. I refuse to believe it's got anything to do with my 3-year-old writer's block breaking last night.

New article: "The Good Nurse’: See Eddie Redmayne as N.J. serial killer Charles Cullen in film with Jessica Chastain".

By Amy Kuperinsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, July 21, 2022.

"Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne is New Jersey serial killer Charles Cullen in the upcoming Netflix thriller “The Good Nurse.”

Cullen killed 29 people while working at a series of hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over a 16-year span.

Netflix released first-look images from the movie, which also stars Oscar winner Jessica Chastain.

Chastain plays Amy Loughren, the Somerset Medical Center nurse who brought her suspicions about Cullen to police and was asked to wear a wire to collect evidence against him.

“The Good Nurse,” directed by Tobias Lindholm (”Another Round”) and written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (”1917”), is based on the bestselling 2013 book “The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness and Murder", by Charles Graeber.

After his arrest in 2003, Cullen, who is from West Orange, admitted to killing patients at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, where he started his nursing career in 1987, and more patients at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg and Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington. He also admitted to injecting medicine into random bags of intravenous fluid. Cullen killed 13 people at Somerset Medical Center.

The nurse told police he murdered up to 40 people.

Cullen, who used overdoses of digoxin and insulin to kill patients, also worked at Morristown Memorial Hospital as well as Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He was connected with deaths at Easton Hospital in Easton, Pennsylvania; Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown; and St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Cullen, 62, who has made numerous suicide attempts throughout his life, is currently at New Jersey State Prison in Trenton after being sentenced to 11 consecutive life sentences (six more were added for his Pennsylvania murders).

In 2008, the families of Cullen’s victims at Warren Hospital, Somerset Medical Center and Hunterdon Medical Center who filed wrongful-death lawsuits against the hospitals reached a confidential settlement. Those facilities, along with Saint Barnabas in Livingston and St. Luke’s in Pennsylvania, paid an undisclosed sum for claims in connection with the deaths of 22 of Cullen’s victims.

The cast of “The Good Nurse” also includes Nnamdi Asomugha, Kim Dickens, Malik Yoba, Alix West Lefler and Noah Emmerich.

Redmayne, 40, won an Oscar in 2015 for playing Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

Chastain, 45, won an Oscar in March for playing televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”

“The Good Nurse” is slated for a fall release on Netflix...".
