Anime is an interesting study. This one surprised me though.... I guess it gets a hoot in some places??

Hi All, Just wanted to say Hi. My husband james and i will be moving to Maplewood very shortly from Brooklyn (I Know, I know ANOTHER Brooklyn couple!). We are very excited and a little scared but we cannot wait to meet all of our neighbors and get settled in. This is our first home ever and this whole experience is a little daunting for us. We are looking forward to attending a Newcomers Club meeting when we get settled in. Everyone on the Messageboards have already been so wondeful, we just know that Maplewood was a good choice for us. We wanted to wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year! Christina & James | ||

Christina & James- Where are you coming from in Brooklyn? What neighborhood are you moving to? My husband and I moved in July from Bay Ridge and we love it here. The commute is great and the people we have met are terrific too. Good luck with the move and Happy New Year too! | ||

Hello everyone! My name is Nick Menza and I've lived in the Maplewood/South Orange area for 27 years now. I just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone that I am an advanced guitar player that loves to help others learn the art of playing guitar. If anyone you know (or you yourself) would like to learn the guitar please do not hesitate to contact me. I have been studying the guitar since I was 10 years old and have a clear understanding of the instrument. For anyone that is interested please contact me via email: nick.menza@gmail.com or by cell 201.240.3222 | ||

Hi every one! I’m a new member,and I got addicted to MOL while reading through the thread everyday, and I can’t get enough. I love it! I’m getting ready to move into the area this summer and just wanted to get an idea of what’s happening. | ||

Hi, I currently live in NYC with my husband and daughter...we are in the process of looking for a house in the 'burbs. At the moment we're focusing on the M/SO, Millburn areas and I'm finding these message boards informative. I'm still learning how to use the search function effectively, so I apologize in advance if I end up asking questions that have been asked before! | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 12369 Registered: 1-2003 |
Welcome, Fishface! You are focusing on an excellent area. Post your questions in the "Please help" section. The search function isn't always satisfying, so don't be afraid to ask a question that is likely to have been asked already. We love to talk anyway. The "Education" section can be scary. We badmouth our schools, but on the whole, it's not because they're bad. It's because we care deeply, and that's a good thing about this community. | ||
| Jersey Boy Citizen Username: Jersey_boy Post Number: 142 Registered: 1-2006 |
Fishface, I already love you because of your username. Do you know how to get a picture attached to your "self." I look forward to it. BTW, South Orange is better. Maplewood is cool only because of its association with South Orange. J.B. | ||

Hello Everyone, My name is Christopher Fragomeni. My wife and I are moving from Montville to the Maplewood area with our two children in the late Spring. I am a Landscape Designer, who is branching out into my own company this year after almost 20 years of having partners. My unique approach to designing has won me awards in several design categories while associated with my former employer. Since I am moving into the Maplewood area, I will be able to showcase my creativity. As far as interests go, both my wife and I are very much into raising our children, but we are always up for meeting new parents in the area, and making time to meet new people, over dinner or drinks.If anyone would like to contact me, I can be emailed at cmfrag77@aol.com. I have uploaded a few pictures of some of my work. Hope you enjoy them!     | ||
| Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 7011 Registered: 5-2001 |
Phil: Please let me know if the Newcomer's Club would like to participate in the Memorial Day Parade this year. I've been told in past years that my inquiry was made too late in the season for the question to be raised with the membership. Thus the early invite. Thanks, Joan | ||
| Michael Turner Citizen Username: Resident_lune Post Number: 1 Registered: 2-2006 |
Greetings and whatnot, everyone. I never realized Maplewood/South Orange had such an active and busy online forum. But I'm glad I was able to find out about it. Anyway, my name is Michael Turner. I lived in Maplewood all my life from age 2 to age 18, before heading out to college. And even then my family stayed in Maplewood until I was around 20. We lived on Garthwaite Terrace when I was just a kid, and then Roosevelt Road until my sister -- Sarah Turner -- finally headed out for college as well. My parents are Kathleen and Robert Turner, and I know if my name isn't familiar, at least they or my sister will be recognized. I'm glad to meet everyone here. Even if I now live in Columbus, OH, I still hope to someday return to Maplewood when I am ready to settle down after I finish college and have spent some time living away from where I grew up. | ||
| Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 7040 Registered: 5-2001 |
Welcome Michael. I think you will find MOL to be a great source regarding what is happening in SO/M while you are away. You may want to check out the local history section of the board, a number of expatriots from our area seem to hang out there from time to time. If you are a Columbia HS graduate, why not check out the Columbia HS alumni section of MOL. Check out contact information for some of your former classmates and add your own. It's a nice way to keep in touch with old friends. | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 12600 Registered: 1-2003 |
Welcome, Michael. There's someone else here on MOL who grew up in Maplewood and lives in Ohio. She goes by the name "bella" here. And of course, there are plenty of other ex-Maplewoodians and ex-South Oranginas here on MOL. | ||

| Michael Turner Citizen Username: Resident_lune Post Number: 2 Registered: 2-2006  |
Mrs. Savino. I remember you very well. :D Both Emily and Sarah babysat me and Sarah when we were younger and on Garthwaite, and I went to your house to hang out a couple times when I was a kid. It's very nice to hear from you again, definitely. | ||

Hi everyone, My wife and I just bought our first home, and will soon be venturing out of NYC to discover suburban life in Maplewood. Our closing is scheduled for the end of this month, and once we take care of a few renovations, we plan to move in by May. We're very happy at having found what seems to be a warm and inviting community and look forward to getting settled in soon. I'm also thrilled to see such an active online forum (I'd been lurking for a few weeks). Look forward to learning more about the community and getting to know the fine folks here. Thanks, Brian | ||
| Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 7076 Registered: 5-2001 |

Hello all; my wife and I are moving to the area from California, and Maplewood and South Orange are two places we are considering. Any info is most appreciated. |
