So, Halloween is over. But, some of the antics of RFH students of the past remain etched in our memories.

The Retro Pic of the (George) Day honors one of those kooky ghoulish guys.

We have no idea why this photo was taken or what he was up to here. And when we asked featured RFH alum Mike Grady those questions, he just shook his head.

“Goofing around,” was the basic response.

So, there you have it.

Here’s to goofing around at RFH in the late 1970s!

Nice grin for a guy playing dead, Grady! Breaking character is not allowed! Know who’s the one tending to this freak?

Thanks, once again, to George Day for this fabulous look back at RFH!

They were putting the finishing touches on it Tuesday night. The Little Silver A&P is now an Acme.

The store, at 507 Prospect Avenue is open. According to the recording on the store’s telephone system, it is open the same hours as the A&P was: 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday; and until 10 p.m. on Sunday.

 

The Acme in Fair Haven has long been considered a special kind of meeting place for area residents.

When this editor’s mom went to “pick up a few things,” that usually meant her children would see her hours later. And, there were many times the conversation in the produce aisle took over so much that one of us had to go back to pick up what she forgot.

Well, we’ll see. With the extra couple of hours open, you never know who may meander over to Little Silver.

See ya at the Acme!

So, both Rumson and Fair Haven police are alerting area residents.

Alternate routes will be posted and Monmouth County Public Works employees and police “will be on site to help residents navigate the detours that will be in place.
