Garden State Equality v. Dow (82 A. 3d 336 - NJ: Superior Court, Law Div.
 2013) is a New Jersey Superior Court case that held on September 27, 2013, that the New Jersey's marriage laws violated the rights of same-sex couples to equal protection of the law under the New Jersey State Constitution.
 The trial court and a State Appellate Court refused the State's request for a stay of the trial court's decision, and the New Jersey Supreme Court refused to do so on a 7-0 vote.
 The ruling took effect on October 21, 2013; and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie dropped the State's plans to appeal that same day, ending the denial of marriage rights to same-sex couples in New Jersey.

Route 67 is a short state highway entirely within the community of Fort Lee in Bergen County, New Jersey.
 It is part of the original alignment of U.S. Route 9W.
 The road runs 1.86 mi from an intersection with Central Boulevard in Fort Lee (also designated as Route 5) down Palisade Avenue in downtown Fort Lee.
 There it becomes known as Lemoine Avenue, terminating at an interchange with U.S. Route 9W, the Palisades Interstate Parkway and New Jersey Route 445S in Fort Lee.
 The route was designated originally as a portion of State Highway Route 18N in 1923, and was split up in 1929 as part of current-days New Jersey Route 63, U.S. Route 9W and Route 67 for Routes S-1, 1 and Route S1A.
 Route S-1-A remained intact on Palisades and Lemoine Avenue until the 1953 state highway renumbering when it was switched over to Route 67.
 The route has remained virtually intact since.
