Most fortunate towns have a guy just like Bill Hine. These people "make" a town if you took a moment to understand the person. We call Bill Hines "The Pope of Basking Ridge, NJ" who touched so many hearts with his song, poetry, and inspirational praise.

NEW JERSEY DRIVE IN HISTORY -
We saw this photo and had to share it. Does anyone remember the drive-in? Check out our story about the history of NJ Drive-Ins. Did you know NJ had the first Drive-in? TRUE!

But who remembers having mosquito fog trucks? This photo at the Newark Drive In brought up all kinds of memories.

HEY BASKING RIDGE -
Stories always bring more stories and memories. Since we were thinking Pepper Mill Deli - now we revisit Bill Hine. Anyone remember a fun story? We take you back to the 1980s, the Pepper Mill and Brush's Deli in the Village of Basking Ridge.
