See what happens when Jersey Joe chats LIVE with his friends in this special rebroadcast of a live web show from the pool!
What: flying experiences
How: at the airport, in the sky, stuck on the runway, etc
I just wish we could go back to the good old days of flying, where it was actually fun to fly. Flying may be fast and convenient, but starting with the TSA security lines, it generally becomes a drag.
I would also like the airlines to include everything at once in the final price. No little upcharages, once I get to the airport. I know that’s how they make extra money, but why not just include that all in the original price when I book? Or, at least give me those options when I book. I would be much more inclined to spend a few extra bucks during booking, if I know that I’m going to get a cocktail or a hot meal during my flight. All those little charges add up after a while. But, they benefit the airlines — not the consumer. They certainly make me thing twice about adding extras to my flight.
What are some of your other airline peeves? Drop me a line on Twitter @JerseyJoe50!

Name: Cap’n Crunch Bites
What: dessert menu item
Where sold: Taco Bell restaurants
These are great! Very succulent! Why not give them a try?
The price structure is very affordable to add on as a menu item. I spent $1.89 for 4. They are sold in packs of 2, 4, or 6. They are kind of like eating a bowl of cereal. You can definitely taste the fruity Cap’n Crunch in concert with the warm, icing filling is a perfect match.
I just wish they would have remembered mine with my order… and at least offered me something for a second wait in line for them.

Name: Action Movie FX
What: IPhone app
Cost: Free — in app purchases start at 99 cents
Website: www.actionmoviefx.com
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:This is a great app. It’s been around for a few years, so I pretty much figured that they had given up on designing more scenes. I was completely surprised when a major update came out in mid-June, so I decided to share it with you.
There are a ton of similar apps out there, but this is the only one with official effects from the new Star Trek movies. The official Action Movie FX app is only available for IPhones, but there are a ton of similar apps for Android devices.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!

What: Worst TV Shows ever
Type: Opinion poll
The shows that I picked are just my opinion and judging by the good ratings that all three of my picks get — maybe I’m wrong. But, I promise those are three shows you’ll never catch me watching. It was killing me just to find these clips on Youtube!
So, what shows do you think are the absolute worst?
I could go on and on… it was hard to narrow it down to just three!

The casinos are open, along with the beach, and the Boardwalk. Jersey Joe and his friends hang out at a beach bar and bring you all the happenings in this special rebroadcast of a live web show.
What: Atlantic City
Where: New Jersey
Year Founded: 1894
Atlantic City may have lost 4 casinos, but there’s more going on in town than just gambling. The city continues to add additional attractions to bring the fun back to the shore. It’s kind of neat to see the city in the state of transformation, as more attractions are added. They just need to settle the mess with the Revel casino and fix that black eye.
Have you ever visited AC? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)Loading...Jersey Joe explores a little known New York City street, 6½ Avenue.
6½ avenue is a pedestrian walkway that opened in 2012. The first ½ avenue in Manhattan, it gives pedestrians a fast shortcut between 51st and 57th streets. Adding stop signs, traffic lights, and crosswalks cost city taxpayers $60,000.
While many drivers complain that the ½ avenue stop signs tie up traffic, many businesses and restaurants have capitalized on the walkway, by adding outdoor seating and signage to direct pedestrians into their shops.
What: 6½ avenue
Where: New York City
Location: between 51st and 57th Streets
Opened: 2012
It’s another one of those “only in New York” kind of things. I’ve worked in the city for years, yet I had no idea this avenue existed. I’ve passed by it dozens of times, never giving it a second thought.
Pedestrian only streets are a great idea and are becoming more popular and useful in New York. While commonplace in many European cities, New York is quickly adopting many pedestrian only streets. A big example is where several blocks of Broadway are now closed to traffic south of Times Square.
For me, this street is a great short cut and any time I can cross a street without having to look out for a speeding taxi cab is a winner in my book!
