Ocean Glow Motel Ocean Terrace @ Hancock Avenue Seaside Heights, NJ Very Overpriced and offer NOTHING! Rooms are horrible, 20 FT by 20 FT box white cement block walls. two beds, small TV and bathroom. shower drips, some toilets run or don't work? Yea. The A/C unit is in a window in the bathroom with the small fridge. No phones. No dresser. Absolute worst motel I have ever been too.I would never stay at Ocean Glow again even if FREE. Caution: They try to play games with your credit card "security deposit" Sea Breeze Inn 1502 Boulevard Seaside Heights, NJ Very Overpriced and don't offer much . Rooms are better than Ocean Glow Motel (same owners) but the bathrooms are dirty, horrible paint jobs. the bed mattress and box spring need to be replaced. no phones. I would never stay at Sea Breeze again. THEY BOTH SUCK!

Drive thru the Bronx anytime. You will notice EVERYONE lives in CT, PA, or MA. haha Something should be done.

Izzy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Rob

Thursday June 22 was LAST YEAR (2006) This year June 22 is Friday. (2007) Is the information old?

I wish Trooper Reif a speedy recovery!

Yes, we should learn from this and discuss this. Absolutely! What went wrong? What can we do to prevent this? Training, Incident Command, Fire Ops, Tactics, Rescue, Etc... A lot of stuff BUT....... LET THE FIREFIGHTERS BE LAID TO REST FIRST!!!!!!!! Everyone needs to heal. Give our Brothers that RESPECT, Please!

I was an E-One "Basher" for a while. They had some issues a while back, just as other companies have had. It happens. Today, we have 3 E-One's in the City of Peekskill which are E130, TL45, and R134. I don't think ANY member would say a bad thing about them. They are GREAT fire apparatus!
