Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Manalapan High School Students Face New Parking Bans at Multiple Township Locations (magic983.com) — Manalapan High School students will no longer be allowed to park at the Manalapan Recreation Center or the municipal building when the 2026–27 school year starts, and several nearby streets now ban student parking during morning hours. Police say they'll strictly enforce the new rules, ticketing violators to cut congestion and improve safety. Families will need to adjust drop-off routines and find approved parking alternatives.
• These Three New Jersey Boxers Return to action in Atlantic City (973espn.com) — Manalapan Township boxer John Leonardo is slated to return to the ring this November at Tropicana Atlantic City after an injury layoff, giving local fight fans someone hometown to cheer for. He'll join two other New Jersey fighters on a Friday night card promoted by Boxing Insider Promotions. Tickets are already available through Ticketmaster for those wanting a fall boxing road trip.
• 5 Haunted Places to Get Creeped Out in New Jersey (njmonthly.com) — One of New Jersey's most storied haunted spots is right in Manalapan at Old Tennent Church, where legends say a Revolutionary War soldier still roams the graveyard and pews. The piece also highlights other eerie destinations statewide, from haunted prisons and roads to the Pine Barrens' Jersey Devil. It's a fun starting point if you enjoy spooky day trips.
