Diversified Realty Advisors have purchased note for property
The redevelopment of Long Branch's Broadway Arts Center redevelopment has been stalled for several years, but a new developer has stepped up and could possibly take over the project.

The Kwik Farms convenience store in the Tinton Falls Lukoil sold a winning Mega Millions ticket.
Tom Schweers woke up thinking he struck it big--$95 million big.

Tech talents from across the state pulled an all-nighter in Asbury Park last weekend, contributing code to help restore the Shore.
