• Netflix Filming in Lavallette, NJ has Businesses & locals upset (nj1015.com) — Lavallette officials and business owners are weighing how a December 7–8 Netflix shoot for the series “Trigger Point” could disrupt the borough’s usual Christmas decorations and festive feel along Route 35. With the tree lighting set for December 5 but street decorations delayed at Netflix’s request, local merchants worry the change could dampen holiday shopping vibes and are pressing the town to adjust the filming schedule.
