Searching for my late Grandpa’s blue acoustic guitar- Red Bank, NJ

Post image
52 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone in the Monmouth County area might be able to help me find a guitar that means a lot to my family.

My grandfather lived in Hazlet, NJ, and passed away at 91 last year. Shortly before he passed, he had started taking guitar lessons that summer at Keyport Music, where he purchased the guitar. His royal-blue acoustic guitar was very special to me, and I’d always hoped to have it someday. My son, who is named after my grandpa, was born shortly after his passing and I always envisioned him learning to play on that special blue guitar.

Unfortunately, my uncle, who is handling his estate, sold the guitar to Red Bank Antiques for $25. The store owner told me he subsequently sold it to a woman for cash. The owner doesn’t have her contact information, so we’re trying to find her another way.

I’ve attached the best photo I have of my grandfather playing the guitar.

If you purchased this guitar, know someone who did, or remember seeing it listed for sale around Red Bank, I’d be incredibly grateful if you reached out. I would love the opportunity to buy it back and keep it as a family keepsake. I’m not looking to blame or confront the buyer; I just hope to bring my grandfather’s guitar home.

Even a share or suggestion about where else to look would mean so much to me. Thank you. 💙

NYWaterway 39th st to Belford ferry schedule

7 Upvotes

Does anyone here take the NYWaterway ferry from 39th street (pier 79, midtown NYC) to Belford on weekdays?

One page seems to suggest that there’s always a 5:45PM pickup every day.

Whereas another page says that on Monday there’s only a 5:30PM ferry with a transfer at Pier 11.

Which one is true?

I’ve been taking the 6:15PM and avoiding Monday travel due to this confusion, but I’ll have to be in the city on a Monday soon.

(I had links to the schedules in question, but my post was automatically deleted so I’m trying again without links.)

Laser Hair Removal

3 Upvotes

Hello fine people of Monmouth County! I hope everyone is enjoying a nice, leisurely Sunday inside.

After a sad and pathetic attempt to wax my legs at home last night, while sitting in the sticky hair covered abomination of a mess I conjured up, I came to the realization that I simply have neither the time nor the patience to remove all of the hair from my lower body on a weekly basis anymore. As a fair skinned female with extremely dark hair, it’s become too much of a hassle and at this point in my life, I’d much prefer to pay someone to assist with my attempt to conform to societal standards.

That’s my verbose way of asking for laser hair removal recommendations (preferably around Manalapan/Colts Neck/Freehold - this general area) and to hear directly from the people if this is an advisable procedure or a huge waste of money.

NJCL Parking Options

Hi neighbors! Currently in Bradley Beach and looking to relocate to the Bayshore area. What’s the parking situation like in Middletown/Hazlet? I’ve seen that you can apply for a town permit but there’s daily spaces available. I only have to go in 2-3 days a week and wanted to see if parking should be a cause for concern. Thanks!

Cleaner recommendations near Red Bank/ Middletown

3 Upvotes

Hey yall! i was wondering if anyone had any good cleaner recommendations in the area for a 1500 sf single family home. The cleaners we had before were a team of 4-5 who would charge 260$ and only spend 30 minutes at the house and didn’t do a great job. Don’t mind spending the money, just looking for more detailed cleaning of drawers, fridge, floors, etc. thanks in advance.

Animals outside my door issue

0 Upvotes

Looking for ideas to gently discourage an unknown animal from climbing my front steps and hanging out by my door.

When I first moved in, a cat casually walked right up to me on the steps, but I haven’t seen it since. So I’m assuming it’s either that cat or possibly the neighborhood raccoon family, which is so wildly domesticated that they sit on the hotel fire escape a few doors down eating pizza while guests hang out right next to them. Coastal wildlife here has absolutely zero fear of humans. Honestly, good for them living their best lives hanging around eating trash pizza in full view.

I’m not trying to hurt or seriously scare anything away. I love animals. I’d just like to make my little entryway less appealing because my dog just sniffed the outside wall and peed all over that area, and my steps are tiny. So now we’re basically forced to walk through pee every time we come and go. YUCK.

Maybe her pee will be enough of a “this territory is occupied” sign for tonight? 😭 but this absolutely cannot become a habit. it also likes to linger and cause my dog to bark crazily at the door trying to get to it… please freaking help us live a more peaceful life 🫩🫩🫩
