Making Honey At Delicious Orchards | Colts Neck, New Jersey
Remember Delicious Orchards?
I wrote about them in 2012. It is a wonderful gourmet country food market where you can get delicious produce, doughnuts, etc.
They also make their own honey right inside the store.
The bees come through a tube in the wall and go into a “beehive” and produce fresh honey.

Shop-Rite Supermarket | West Caldwell, New Jersey
The ShopRite supermarket in West Caldwell, New Jersey is unique.
First of all, it must be an old ShopRite, because it still has the hyphen in the name.
That is why I included the hyphen in the title of this post, even though the hyphen is not used anymore.
According to a January 31st article in The Chronicle of Higher Education:
I am always interested in design and architecture. Whoever built or designed this ShopRite made it with a Japanese design.
According to a January 31st article in The Chronicle of Higher Education:
In American advertising lingo, rite makes mite. Or maybe might. The ShopRite grocery chain is the first rite I can remember. ShopRite is a postwar neologism; for a while in the fifties and sixties, the name was spelled with a hyphen (Shop-Rite), after which the logo lost its hyphen but kept the internal cap.
I am always interested in design and architecture. Whoever built or designed this ShopRite made it with a Japanese design.
I've been told that the owner at the time really liked this decor style.
Not only does the front of the store have an Japanese theme, but it even has endearing matching phone booths! One of the phone booths still has a working phone.
Even on the inside, the Japanese design theme continues.
Even on the inside, the Japanese design theme continues.
I blatantly took pictures with my camera on the outside, but I don’t think I’m supposed to take photos inside the store, so I sneaked around the store taking took the last two photos with my crappy old cell phone.

The Super Bowl Is In New Jersey!
I love New York! I really do! It is my favorite large city.
I've spent a great time in NYC in my life, and I love it.
But despite what the NFL and the City of New York are trying to do, The Super Bowl is in New Jersey!
Now, I completely understand that most fans are staying in New York City. The area around the stadium where The Big Game is being played is hardly a tourist mecca, although there are some very nice towns near MetLife Stadium.
There are far more hotel rooms in NYC. It will give a chance for fans to see New York. There are many wonderful things to do in New York.
The actual game, however, is being played in New Jersey.
Take that NFL!

Lambert Castle, Part II | Paterson, New Jersey
Last week I showed you some exteriors of Lambert Castle in Paterson, New Jersey.
This week I will show you some of the lovely interiors of the castle.
The stained glass window in the last photo was created in tribute to a Lambert daughter, who died when she was 24.
Despite their wealth, the Lambert family suffered many tragedies.

Lambert Castle in Paterson, Part I | Paterson, New Jersey
Lambert Castle in Paterson, New Jersey has an interesting past.
Paterson, New Jersey had many silk mills, and was known as “The Silk City” in the 1800s and has a strong union history.
Catholina Lambert owned one of the silk mills and built his home, then known as “Belle Vista” , on the side of Garret Mountain, which is part of First Watchung Mountain.
From his home, he could see Paterson spreading out below him and New York City was in the distance.
I will have more photos of Lambert Castle next week.
