Where’s Steve Shoe? Answer for Tuesday\’s photo…

Tuesday’s photo was taken at Southport, Charles and Water Streets, which was a $\"Charles$ former industrial park housing such factories as GAF, New Jersey Zinc, later Gulf and Western, Harshaw Chemical, later Amspec Chemical, Atlantic Richfield, to mention a few. In 2006 the Kilcourse administration announced plans to redevelop the area aka Gloucester Point.

Included in those plans were 3000 new homes being constructed by Beazer Home Construction and other well known contractors. Those plans were scrapped because of environment problems that would have taken 10 years or more to fix. In July 2010 the James administration announced a new light industrial plan for this area. ~Bill Cleary

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ-A resident who lives in the 300 unit block of Sylvan Avenue writes, \”Bill, This is what was left behind after collecting yard waste today (Wednesday August 11). You would think the bags could have been placed in the cans that were also dumped. I will clean it up myself, but I think our men in the Gloucester City Highway Department could do better.\”

Bridge Manager Then Moved To Cruise Terminal Post

CAMDEN, N.J. – A Delaware River Port Authority employee who was suspended for a month after borrowing toll money to cover party costs was later moved to a job running a cruise terminal that\’s not currently receiving ships, sources tell Fox 29 News. At the time, John Havers ran the Commodore Barry Bridge, which spans the Delaware River between the city of Chester and Gloucester County. The last known salary information Fox 29 News has obtained is that Havers was being paid $102,500 in that post back in 2007. Fox 29\’s Steve Keeley reported that, according to sources, a catered party called a \”safety open house\” ran over budget about a year-and-a-half ago, and the way Havers apparently paid for this was to dip into cash from collected tolls.
