Wonders of New Jersey: 371 - 380

• 371 Delaware Bay Horseshoe Crab Spawning Thousands of horseshoe crabs mate and lay their eggs in the sand. This happens once a year on a night in May.
• 372 Martinsville Pretty little village in the Watchung Mountains with quaint stores and the honor of being the home to the Egg-o-Mat. Bridgewater.
• 373 Old Tennent Church
• 374 Newark Symphony Hall
• 375 William Carlos Williams
• 376 Mystic Island A community of old vacation bungalows and newer large homes embedded in a labyrinth of lagoons. Little Egg Harbor.
• 377 Capital to Coast Trail A 55 mile cross-state trail that will run from Trenton to Manasquan when completed.
• 378 Weird New Jersey This biannual magazine has a cult following in New Jersey among people who like the bizarre, paranormal, historic or just like to tell stories. The magazine branched out and became a show on the History Channel named Weird US. Also, several Weird books have been created for other, lesser states. Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman are the creators of this venture.
• 379 Edgewater Parrots  A flock of Monk Parakeets—also known as Quaker Parrots—about 220 in number. This flock has been around since around 1980 and it is not known for certain where they came from. Interestingly, the extinct Carolina Parakeet used to live in New Jersey, so it's not such a bizarre thing to have a different species of the bird beginning to fill that niche these days. Also, these birds have colonies in a few other towns, but Edgewater is by far the most famous. Edgewater.

• 380 FM 106.3 From 1984-2000, WHTG was one of the nation's most influential Alternative Rock radio stations. I recently put the station on in my car to see what the frequency was playing these days and it made me cringe. It was the sound of a corpse being desecrated. Eatontown.
