Who cares about the riots on the Seaside Heights boardwalk every night in the summer as long as you make your profit right

Obviously, some people are making money, but they don't care how it impacts the area. Seaside puts on its blinders when $ is involved. The dollar is more important than its (and neighboring towns) residents.

The locals have been in Rivoli's maybe once and that's it. As far as Jagged Edge Salon, there's a place down on Fischer Blvd that for $8.00 dollars will fix that $25.00 haircut.

Sure Seaside had more people come in because of the show, but look at the type it brought in. Riots and the boardwalk even had to be CLOSED because of fights. Is this the type of people seaside wants? Well of course they do as long as they have money to spend. Definitely not a family resort any more by far and probably never will be again.

I can understand about people rolling their eyes when they hear the name even mentioned. Look at this group. It is basically all about getting drunk, getting into fights, being arrested and sleeping with as many strangers as possible and each other. Any parent who lets their children even watch this should be ashamed of themselves. Do they really consider this group role models, if they do than they are pretty pathetic themselves.

Luckily I do not live in Seaside, but I also don't wan their type or the type they bring in to come to Toms River either.

"The love of money is the root of all evil."

If it bothers you "don't go to these stores".Summer down here is 3 months.9 months of the year left.Let the summer people suport them.No locals go there.If they make it they make it.People complain....but someone is going there year round !!!

Rivoli's is the worst place around. He needs all of the business he can get, no matter how he gets it.

Rivoli's has always been a good place to get a huge meal and at a good price. Quality is best at home but no one goes away from "R's" hungry! The show is stupid and a money maker! and the "Shore" Seaside Heights has been having the problem we are seeing now for 35 years. Each year it gets worse and has had nothing to do with the effect of the show. Think back to when the orange and yellow hair started and I will bet you see the fights started at the same time!

It's not just in Seaside, the whole country is going to hell in a hand-basket. "Jersey Shore" is only part of the problem. Poor parenting is the real culprit. When you rely on our school systems and the boob tube to raise your kids, this is the result you get.

Lets face it there is NOTHING positive about the "Jersey Shore " crew other than laughing at them and what they stand for " Dumb & Dumber " young adults who lost there way & pasted up college for ????? ( stupid 15 min's of fame ).If Tony R got four more patrons , good for him , he needs them as Quantity doesn't out do quality..ever !

I read recently that the cast is having difficulty getting people to hire them for "public appearances" because the public is tired of them and their popularity is waning. We can only hope. In five years, there will be a magazine cover entitled "Where Are They Now?" about the cast of Jersey Shore. They will be bankrupt and doing public appearances at local supermarkets.

Rivoli's, the place: Very dark, dated and cramped. The Food; "Ok" - nothing to write home about, especially if you're from a true Italian home.
As for the Jersey Shore cast eating and hanging out there- I wouldn't even want to sit on the same chair or booth as those skanks... not without protection anyway.

Thank you people. All but one or two writers can see this for what it is, an the impact it has on a community. You have restored my faith in the number of logical thinking people.

This is one of the reasons why the world is the way it is. Profits over morals. Money over God. It's so sad. <><

How much is Sleaside and TR paying for the added cops and courts to control and process the garbage the show attracts to the community versus small business profitability?

HoJos and Holiday Inn aren't saving those individual locations... those are corporate entities so the revenue goes back to corporate. Maybe a few residents get to hang onto their housekeeping positions but that's about the extent.

A Toms River native and current resident, the only TR people I know that watch the show and are fans are those that are either NOT from TR or town transplants.

Toms River is a big town with city problems but the town looks the other way, "Not my problem." Only going to get worse so purchase your helmets now. Shame but with increased population comes more garbage. And now we're allowing the publicizing of "Hey, come visit us, fellow garbage people."

I took a walk on the boardwalk a few weeks ago. I passed a bar that had the infamous "Snookie's Chair" visible through the window. Half the letters were missing. It kinda says alot. Much like the out-dated and sun-bleached t-shirts available for $1 at the end of the season.

Being born and raised in Toms River and my family roots go back to 1690, I can say that most of the transplants have been the cause of most of the problems here. Every summer it gets worse. Now this show of misfit over sex morons make it even worse. Seaside was bad enough in the 70's and 80's, now I wouldnt even want to be there during the day. Crime has gone way up. Do you know it takes Seaside 3 hours every night to clean up the boardwalk from all the litter as well as the beach? They may bring in the revenue, but there are huge expenses involved too. I just say BENNIES GO HOME AND STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The retailers in Toms River are happy now that business is up due to the Jersey Shore Crew but once they stop filming this "pig fest" and they are gone for good, that's when Toms River and Seaside are going to feel it. There are so many families that used to come to this area for the summer and they stopped coming because of the dangerous atmosphere on the boardwalk. Those renters are gone for good! And as for Tony at Rivoli's, it still amazes me that people eat there. I guess when you don't know good food, it doesn't matter where you have dinner.

IT IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME THAT MOST DO MISS THE POINT. "JERSEY SHORE" BROUGHT OUT WHAT HAD ALREADY BEEN A PROBLEM IN SEASIDE. "DRUGS" "WELFARE", IN THAT ORDER. SEASIDE IS A WINTER HAVEN FOR THE CRAP THAT THE TOWN HAS GOING ON, AND THE LEADERS, POLICE, AND WHOMEVER ELSE (IN MY EDUCATED OPINION), ARE HARBORING THE "DRUGSTERS". SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SEEING POLICE GIVING DRUGGIE DEALERS SLAP ON WRIST, INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM EVICTED AND THEN RUN OUT OF TOWN. OWENERS TOO, WHOM I HAVE HEARD SAY, "THEY NEED TO GET THE RENT" AND DON'T CARE HOW THEY GET IT OR THEY WILL LOSE THEIR PROPERTIES. ALSO, CONDO OWNERS, (AND THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM NOW) RENT TO JUST ABOUT ANYONE. HOW CAN THE TOWN KEEP UP? THE REMARK CONCERNING "THE CLEANING UP EVERY NIGHT" OF BOARDWALK AND BEACH IS DEFINATELY OVERSTATED. IT'S TRUE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR, BUT CERTAINLY NOT "EVERY NIGHT FOR 3 HOURS". THE REVENUE THE TOWN ENJOYS, DOES NOT HELP THE OWNERS OUT. THE TAXES ARE WAY TOO HIGH, THE NEWLY BUILT CONDOS. ARE NOT BEING PURCHASED, THE ELECTRIC AND WATER ARE STUPENDOUS. THIS TOWN MAKES A FORTUNE, AND DOES NOT GIVE BACK TO IT'S PEOPLE. SOME OF US WHO HAVE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES HERE WHO OWN, ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE POLICE AND LEADERS WHO ARE LETTING THE DRUG PEOPLE OFF REALLY EASY. I HAVE GRANDKIDS, AND WOULD NEVER PUT THEM IN DANGER, AND JUST TO LET THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, IT'S MORE SAFE THAN MOST PLACES, DAY AND/OR NIGHT, BECAUSE THE POLICE WHO DO THEIR JOBS, ARE OUT THERE.

This article sounds to me like an attempt at validating the continuation of "Jersey Shore" here in Ocean County. Why not spread the wealth in .. say ... Point Pleasant?? Belmar??? LBI ??? ...WHAT, nobody wants it there?? But, what about the economic boon??? I'm tired of the antics that this show brings, I'm embarrassed to admit that I live in Toms River. I've checked into hotels in Chicago, New Orleans, Seattle, and as far as Alaska and I get the same question; "is it like the show "Jersey Shore?". Well, it didn't used to be but it seems it's becoming more and more like "Jersey Shore". When local's are asked to move their table in the midst of their meal at a Fischer Blvd restaurant because the Jersey Shore cast showed up and wanted "their table", well .... we know who really matters. Obviously it's not the year round patrons. People! Let's get our priorities in order and stop putting these punk bullies on a pedestal. They are rude, crude, and lewd. End of story.

La Rue is the new marymary on the (blog) block.

NO, CAPS AREN'T NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE POST. EASIER TO SEE FOR THE BLINDER PEOPLE WHO READ POSTS.. PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY OR OFFENDED. BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE, I CAN'T HELP YOU.
THERE WAS ONCE A POST THAT THE FBI SHOULD BE CALLED IN TO "CLEAN UP THE TOWN" WHOMEVER THE MONITOR WAS, THEY STOPPED THE POSTING ON THIS SUBJECT. THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN? INSTEAD OF ALL THE BASHING AND BEING PERMISSIVE ABOUT ALLOWING THE DRUGGIES IN TOWN, AND THE WELFARE PROBLEM PPLE (DRUGGIES), NOT ALL THE WELFARE PPLE, IT'S THE ONLY WAY FOR THE TOWN TO BE CONSIDERED A FAMILY ORIENTED PLACE TO GO AGAIN. ALTHOUGH, THERE WERE PLENTY OF FAMILIES ON BOARDWALK AND BEACH LAST SUMMER, AMONG THE ROTTEN RATS, AND THE MINORITIES COMING IN TO RUIN THE TOWN. AND, THERE WERE A FEW DRUG RAIDS, I HEAR, BUT, DON'T KNOW IF IT HELPED. ALSO, SOME SHOOTINGS THAT ARE NOT PUBLICIZED. YES, GET THE FBI IN TO GO BLOCK BY BLOCK AND RID THE TOWN OF THE SCURGE. AND THE LEADERS OR POLICE WHO ARE INVOLVED. FOR THE GOOD POLICE WHO WORK HARD TO KEEP ORDER AND LOOK TO HELP THE TOWN KEEP SAFE, THEY SHOULD BE COMMENDED. SEASIDE TOWN HALL CAN USE SOME CHANGES IN ATTITUDE ALSO. CRIME IS RUNNING RAMPANT ALL OVER THE STATE. TR AND SSH & SURROUNDING AREAS HAVEN'T GOT AN IOTA OF THE PROBLEMS OF OTHER TOWNS IN NJ.

Using all caps gives the impression of yelling.....FYI

FYI, ALL CAPS are easier to see. I've been using computers for well over 14 years, and I'm completely aware of that stupid made up idea that it means yelling. TO ME, IT DOES NOT. But if it makes you fools happy, go make reports, as children in school. I thought this post concerned "THE JERSEY SHORE" Program, and it's launching of huge profits to Toms River area, and how people feel about it. I guess Rose and Blue are worried about CAPS though. So everyone will know that you two know what ALL UPPER CASE MEANS TO DUMMIES. Unbelievable, okay kiddies, we won't yell. Idiots, just like the people you presume to be idiots and dummies. You're just like them. Actually, they're a little smarter. They're making a fortune. Selling books, selling perfumes, getting other gigs. It just amazes me that everyone actually believes that the towns are suffering in reputation because of them, when you have dummies that are worrying about my use of caps. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH USING CAPS. DUMB AND DUMBER
I know how to magnify the screen. I PREFER TO SEE WHILE I'M READING WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION.
ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY GIVES A HOOT ABOUT MY USE OF CAPS NEEDS HELP! AND PRONTO!

I'm with you Mattie.

wELl, at leAST that madE me Laugh MATTIe....yes,, need to refresh, CHARm schOOL lessONs, ALONg witH my EDUCATED OPINion, which of course was an uneducated ranT. bUT TO ME, it's so foolish to get upset over the caps. THE SUBJECT MATTER, HOWEVER, IS OF GREAT IMPORTAINCE TO ME, and I really care that these young crazy TV gang (I don't like their antics anymore than anyone else does), are being blamed for something that is not their fault. It would be best for TR and SSH to be rid of them in a way, but they are just a small portion of the problems being experiened in the towns. HAVE A BALL KIds. I'm done for the moment. When someone wants to have serious discussions, I'll get the emails and come to check on what's happening. I was hoping this forum would shake someone into doing something to make things better in our communities. oh, my, i've forgotten, WHAt rhYMEs with La Rue? Hmmm, aah, umm, oh well........must be something a "SOUTHERN BELLE" wouldn't say. Have a peachy weachy day poopsies.

^ THAT ^ could be one of our neighbors...... frightening, isn't it?

Thank you...You make a nice pair. Follow each other on the forum. As I said, too bad no one is interested in the subject matter. I'm 12, and possibly, I'm your neighbor. BTW LaRue, your writing abilities are questionable as well. You just about make a sentence. You're brilliant, just ask me! I'll point out your grammatical errors if you like. You probably would not be able to write more than a sentence. As I said, this is more about silliness, not interest in community, or interest in taking action against those really responsible for the problems at TR & SSH.

Toms river was already on the map. And we usually wiped ourselfs with the map after eating rivolis. Its like saying Nazi Germany got Poland in order. They ruined Toms River. 10 years ago a person with a north jersey accent in Tr was like a red boned man in a fine dining restaurant. Now they are crawling all over the place with their tomato stained fingers. And btw who cares about hotels? The holiday inn? It's like saying they boosted a local restaurant's revenue, and that restaurant is apple bees. I'm not rolling my eyes, I'm sticking my finger down my throat to puke. I'm just not sure if it's from the jersey shore ruining a decent place or from rivolis.can someone tell me where vodka sauce came from? Cause it wasn't Italy! "chalk that up!"
