White Manna

White Manna and White Mana are the names of two fast food diners in the U.S. state of New Jersey, named after manna, the Biblical food. The restaurants were ranked on America's best burgers list along with White Rose Hamburgers, another New Jersey burger joint. History The establishment was originally opened in Jersey City by Louis Bridges, who purchased the original diner that was introduced in the 1939 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens. Both buildings were manufactured by Paramount Dining Car Company of Oakland, New Jersey in 1939. Bridges owned five diners, all named "White Manna". It claims to be the home of the invention the Slider. In reality it is one of few surviving mid-20th century imitators of the White Castle hamburger slider chain established in 1921. Locations Jersey City, New Jersey White Mana, located at 470 Tonnele Avenue (40°44′50″N 74°3′42″W) in the Western Slope neighborhood of Jersey City was the first White Manna to open, and consists of the original 1939 World's Fair building. When originally introduced, it was called the "diner of the future" and an "Introduction to Fast Food." According to the present owner, Mario Costa Jr., the difference in spelling was the result of an error when the sign was serviced. It is famous for its hamburgers and sells approximately 3,000 a week. Costa, who had worked at the diner through high school and college, bought the diner for $80,000 in 1979 from Bridges’ brother Webster. In 1996, Costa decided to sell the diner and lot for $500,000, but soon regretted the deal when he discovered that the new owners intended to replace it with a doughnut franchise. Costa attempted to back out of the deal, but the buyers refused to void the transaction. He filed a lawsuit to stop the sale, but lost. Eventually, the buyers agreed to sell it back to him at a higher cost than their purchase price. In 1997, the Jersey City Historic Preservation Committee declared the diner a local landmark. Hackensack, New Jersey The Hackensack White Manna Diner is a fast food restaurant located at 358 River Street. (40°53′21″N 74°2′19″W) The diner has been at the site on the banks of the Hackensack River since 1946. The White Manna Diner of Hackensack has also been featured on the Food Network television series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and The Best Thing I Ever Ate, as well as Man v. Food and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations on the Travel Channel. It appeared in Dom Eats Local. In addition, the diner's burgers have been featured in numerous articles including being named the best burger in New Jersey by Thrillist, listed in the top 101 burgers in America by The Daily Meal, and being in GQ's "20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die." Both the Hackensack White Manna and Jersey City White Mana were featured in the "American Food Feud" episode of the Food Network series Food Feuds.

Wildwoods Convention Center

The Wildwoods Convention Center is a convention center and indoor arena in Wildwood, New Jersey. Built in 2001 to replace an older Convention Hall, the center has exhibition space of 260,000 sq ft (24,000 m2). The building includes the Oceanfront Arena, an indoor arena that can seat up to 7,000 spectators. It is owned by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and managed by The Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement and Development Authority (GWTIDA). The architect for the Convention Center is LMN Architects. History In 1972, Wildwood Convention Hall, a 18,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) building, opened with several stores in front. Located on the Boardwalk at 4522 Ocean Avenue, it was used until the need for a larger convention center and arena were made in 1999. NJSEA promptly joined in, and broke ground in 2000, tearing a 40 feet (12 m) hole in the boardwalk in the process, opening the new building in 2001, and the following year, razed the old hall, creating the new dramatic entrance way for the facility. The Wildwood Hi-Rollers played home games at the Wildwoods Convention Center during the 1981–82 Continental Basketball Association season. On January 28, 2020, then President Donald Trump held a rally at the Wildwoods Convention Center. Annual events WWE's Raw brand has staged an annual event every July in the arena, setting a record attendance in 2005. In addition, annual concerts celebrating the 1960s (in May) and 1950's (in October) are staged there, as well as an annual high school basketball tournament billed as the largest in the country running from December 26 (the day after Christmas) through New Year's Eve (December 31) for both boys and girls teams. This venue was bidding for Miss World 2015, but lost to the Beauty Crown Grand Theatre in Sanya, Hainan Island, China PR. References External links Homepage
William A. Stickel Memorial Bridge

The William A. Stickel Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge in New Jersey that crosses the Passaic River, connecting Newark and East Newark as part of Interstate 280. The bridge is named in honor of William A. Stickel, a civil engineer from Newark who served as the Essex County engineer for over 20 years. The bridge was constructed from 1948 to 1949 as Route 25A and is owned and operated by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The total length of the structure is 209.6 metres (688 ft), and it provides a clearance of 11.7–15.1 metres (38–50 ft). The length of the movable section is 41.9 metres (137 ft). The bridge was inaugurated on May 1, 1949, and became part of the interstate system in 1971. The bridge is one of the few movable bridges that remain in the Interstate Highway System. The bridge remained manned by a drawtender until March 3, 1999. It rarely opens and requires 24-hour notice to NJDOT for opening. The six-lane Stickel Bridge has four through-traffic lanes and two lanes for traffic entering and exiting Route 21 at exit 15 just west of the bridge. Rehabilitation The April 2001 release of a New Jersey Department of Transportation report labeling the Stickel Bridge "structurally deficient and functionally obsolete" has prompted officials to consider options to either rehabilitate or replace the bridge. Inspectors found both the superstructure and substructure of the old span to be in "poor" condition, the result of wall cracks and severe corrosion of structural steel. Furthermore, the steel-grated roadway, narrow lanes and tight ramps leading to the local streets have contributed to the bridge's high accident rate. In May 2008, the rehabilitation work on the span was completed. Work included having its mechanical systems overhauled, and removal of its old black coating, in favor of a light blue paint. Pedestrian Access Built prior to the conception of the Interstate Highway System, the bridge initially provided pedestrian access between the McCarter Highway (SR 21) in Newark and Hamilton Street in Harrison. A 2016 project to improve safety at the I-280/Route 21 interchange resulted in the permanent closure of the pedestrian access to the bridge, in accordance with the prohibition of pedestrian access to interstate highways. The stairways up to the bridge and the sidewalks along the bridge are still extant but are gated off, and guardrail reconfiguration on the exit ramps additionally limits access.

The Williams Center (theater)

The Williams Center is an arts center and cinema complex located in downtown Rutherford, New Jersey. The center was named after the Pulitzer Prize winning poet and physician William Carlos Williams, who had been born and raised in the borough. The building it occupies was originally built in the 1920s as a Vaudeville theater known as the Rivoli. The Rivoli soon started showing silent movies, and eventually "talkies". The theater enjoyed success, until fire destroyed part of the building in 1977. In 1978, a group of philanthropists started the Williams Center Project, which reopened the Center in 1982. The center currently has two live theaters, three cinemas, and an open-air meeting gallery. As of 2021, the town of Rutherford bought the center from Bergen County, before selling it to local real estate developer Native Development; those sales, along with outcry from concerned local residents, were said to have saved the property from further redevelopment. Current uses On July 29, 2016, the three cinemas, and downstairs floor, both reopened for first run movies, after successful fundraising efforts to switch from 35mm projectors to digital. This includes refurbished concession stands, lobby spaces, and a party room, which has now been turned into an arcade. The building is currently undergoing a large-scale renovation while hosting weekly art and music events. History The Rivoli Theater debuted in Rutherford in April 1922 with a capacity for 2,200 audience members. Built by architect Abram Preiskel and developer Harry Hecht above the Glen Waters pond, the building featured a marble facade, ornate proscenium, and a centerpiece chandelier, made of 62,000 Czechoslovak crystals. The theater played host to silent films and was a popular stop in the vaudeville circuit. Acts such as Abbott and Costello and the Glenn Miller Orchestra performed under The Rivoli's signature chandelier, and silent movies starring Buster Keaton and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., delighted audiences. The Theater continued operation, with brief interruptions, until January 1977, when a devastating fire destroyed nearly one third of the building. The theater's future was in doubt, until a group of philanthropists led by Fairleigh Dickinson (namesake of the nearby university campus), Peter and Sally Sammartino, Oscar Schwidetsky, Barry Dancy, and Herb Cutter, saved the theater, and started the nonprofit Williams Center Project. The theater's name was changed to the William Carlos Williams Center for the Performing Arts, after the famed poet, doctor, and Rutherford native, and the newly renovated venue opened its doors to the public in 1982. In 1987, the building was deeded to Bergen County, and a lease agreement was reached with the nonprofit group to continue operating the center. The center continued to serve the community, hosting live theater, music shows, movies, and art shows, and functioned as a hub for the broader community, as many Rutherfordians remember graduating from Rutherford High School on its main stage.

Woodland Cemetery (Newark, New Jersey)

Woodland Cemetery (also known as West Newark Cemetery or the German Cemetery) is a 36.5-acre (0.148 km2) nonsectarian burial ground located at 670 South 10th Street in the city of Newark, New Jersey. Established in 1855 and active until the 1980s, the cemetery served the city's German immigrant population and their descendants, and later served a large number of Greek immigrant and African-American graves. The cemetery has had significant vandalism and many efforts to clean it up. It reopened for new burials in 2016. Overview The cemetery is owned by its lot owners. It has a board of managers who have family buried in the cemetery. About 70,000 to 80,000 people have been buried there. The cemetery includes hundreds of veterans, including from the Civil War up to the Vietnam War. To help people find the graves of relatives, volunteers compiled a searchable database based on burial ledgers held by the New Jersey Historical Society. History Woodland Cemetery is one of Newark's oldest cemeteries. Since the 1960s and the urban decline of Newark, many of the descendants of the German immigrants and families buried here moved away from the city. As early as the 1950s, and accelerating in the 1960s, Woodland Cemetery experienced vandalism and the toppling of several thousand gravestones. In 1980, the cemetery closed to new burials, and after that its only income was interest on its trust fund, which was inadequate for maintenance. In the mid-1990s, some people with family members buried in the cemetery organized a Friends and Family of Woodland Cemetery group to recruit and organize volunteers and donations for clean-up work, including resetting gravestones. Volunteers coordinated annual clean-up days between around 1999 and 2012, canceled in 2013 because the board could not cut the grass. In 2008, local residents gathered to protest the large amount of trash and illegal activity in the cemetery, asking the cemetery board and the city to clean it up. Between 2001 and 2011, at least four people were killed in the cemetery or adjacent to it. Neighbors also complained about drug dealing and prostitution on the grounds. In 2011, more than 80 volunteers spent two days picking up trash, cutting grass, and clearing branches, organized by the New Jersey Youth Corps and Greater Newark Conservancy. In 2013, the board of managers discussed plans for maintenance and finding additional funding, and they asked for help from volunteers. In 2016, a community group organized volunteers for cleanup projects, but the community group and board disagreed on approach. Another person was found dead in the cemetery in 2018.

Worthington State Forest

Worthington State Forest is a state forest located in Warren County, New Jersey within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, just north of the water gap in the Skylands Region of the state. It covers an area of 6,660 acres (27.0 km2) and stretches for more than 7 miles (11 km) along the Kittatinny Ridge near Columbia. The park offers hiking, camping (including a hike-in, primitive area) and canoeing and kayaking on the Delaware River. There are nearly 20 miles (32 km) of hiking trails within the park, including 7 miles (11 km) of the Appalachian Trail, which passes through the park. The park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. History The forest is named after Charles Campbell Worthington, who, throughout the late 1800s, purchased 6,000 acres (24 km2) of land of both sides of the river, including parts of Mount Tammany. His intent was to create one of the premier deer hunting preserves in the county. He would name this estate Buckwood Park. He built Buckwood Lodge, a small mansion on the side of Kittatinny Ridge, between the river and Sunfish Pond, a small lake higher up the ridge covering 258 acres (1.04 km2). Worthington gave Sunfish Pond the name of Buckwood Lake, and used it as a water supply for his lodge. The Old Mine Road, one of the earliest roads in the area, runs along the Delaware; it was used for transporting copper and slate from nearby mines and quarries, and is believed to have originally been a Native American trail that saw use by fur traders and Dutch settlers. Area The forest includes the 1,085 acres (4.39 km2) Dunnfield Creek Natural Area; the creek is designated a wild trout stream. The 258 acres (1.04 km2) Sunfish Pond Natural Area consists of a glacial lake and the surrounding chestnut oak forest, and can be reached by a steep and rocky climb along the Appalachian Trail. At 1,527 feet (465 m), Mount Tammany offers a view of the Delaware Water Gap.

Benjamin Franklin Bridge

Benjamin Franklin Bridge, oorspronkelijk Delaware River Bridge, is een hangbrug die de Amerikaanse rivier de Delaware overspant tussen de stad Philadelphia en Camden. De brug werd tijdens de Sesquicentennial Exposition geopend in 1926. Tussen 1926 en 1929 had de brug de grootste overspanning ter wereld. Geschiedenis De eerste plannen voor een brug over de Delaware op de huidige locatie dateren al van 1818. Pas rond 1910 werden de plannen werkelijkheid. Als architect werd Leon Moisseiff in de armen genomen die eerder ook verantwoordelijk was geweest voor de Manhattan Bridge. Op 6 januari 1922 begon men met de bouw van de brug. Tijdens de bouw van de brug overleden 16 werknemers tijdens de werkzaamheden. De brug ging voor het verkeer open op 1 juli 1926, drie dagen voor haar verwachte oplevering. In 1955 besloot men de naam van de brug te veranderen in haar huidige naam ter ere van Benjamin Franklin. In populaire media De Benjamin Franklin Bridge werd gebruikt voor opnames van de film World War Z. Galerij Zie ook Lijst van langste hangbruggen ter wereld
