    You’d think things like cell phones and e-z passes would be easy for the police to track down. Can’t they just triangulate the location of the phones, or monitor the next time a car with the e-z pass goes through a toll booth?

      Ted Mann. I assure you that they are not looking for those things. They are way too busy. They have to make sure all plants are watered on Haddon Avenue.

• PHOTO: A day can’t go by without some form of rain, right? 

  by W. Rhodes on June 27th, 2009 | Comment

  

  Storm clouds on the horizon. I'm fine with all types of weather, but the recent ever-rainy forecast in this area is dragging me down. I hope it doesn't start up again.

  Send your weather photos to wrhodes@gannett.com or post them to Flickr with the "collingswood" tag.

• Colls in the news: Kids on a plane, delicious fresh foodstuffs 

  by W. Rhodes on June 25th, 2009 | Comment

  Chicago Tribune quotes a Collingswood travel agent in a story looking to find a cure for the common annoying-kid-on-airplane dilemma.

  How about a kids-only section?  "I would [...]

      Not only is his name one to remember — he’s an actor (re: Sopranos, Conan, The Longest Yard … etc.).

      Can I use html in here? Let’s find out.

      Here’s the Pop Shop info on Stink.
