The Circus Drive-In sign on Rt 35 in Wall Township is being taken down today. This sign has stood as a local landmark for years and my mom has stories of going to the restaurant here as a child. It always brightens my day when I drive by and it will definitely be missed. Do you have any fond memories of the Circus Drive-In?

"Long story short? I survived." - Deb H. - Ocean Grove, NJ.

Late last year, Deb was diagnosed with Acoustic Neuroma - or a benign tumor in her brain, just behind her right ear. It had effected her hearing and facial nerves to the point doctors suggested a surgery to have the tumor removed.

In the midst of the pandemic, she went under the knife where the doctors successfully removed the tumor. Now, just a couple months removed from surgery, she is re-learning how to walk a straight line, drive her car and complete every day tasks such as making dinner. Every day is a struggle, but this is a fight she plans to win.

In mid-November, Chef Lou from Blend on Main hosted an event called Safe on the Streets in Manasquan, NJ. The event took up all of Main St, and for $75 per person, you would be welcome to dine from a delicious menu prepared by Chef Lou and his staff with proceeds donated to A Need we Feed and other local charities.

This event was just one of the ways Chef Lou has helped those in need during the Covid-19 Pandemic, and he has more planned in the coming months.
