- Dog Parkto all who have pasted and are interested in a dog park, lets get together and talk.
Email me at leonesam@live.com, we can probably meet at the library. I have some ideas, and would love to hear yours to get this rolling. - Dog ParkI am a Blairstown resident dog owner and know of many people who like to go to the Sussex Co. Dogpark (in Wantage) with their dogs. I think that this area would really love such a dogpark. Does anyone know how to get this started? I am interested in starting up a committee or group to look into a Blairstown area dogpark! If this is something you're also interested in- send me an email at simonr23@gmail.com. Thanks!!
- BUS DRIVERS AND CELL PHONESWhy are Blairstown Bus drivers allowed on their cell phones when they have a bus load of students!? I just moved back to Blairstown a month ago and have encountered more problems with getting this issue resolved. This is a danger to not only the children , but to other drivers.STOCKER BUS COMPANY IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!. The rudest people I have ever come across. My child was not dropped off, then almost missed three times in the month we have been here. She is on the phone everytime she drops him off...the bus company says her phone is off and in her purse and that i am not telling the truth ....but being that i know what i have seen and my child has knowledge of what a cellphone is, i invited them out to take a look...but they declined...I am filing a Police Report, Bright and Early Monday Morning!
SHAME ON YOU STOCKER BUS COMPANY AND BLAIRSTOWN ELEMENTARY FOR IGNORING THIS PROBLEM!! - HEY BLAIRSTOWNHey blairstown Residents! We should start a chat going like on the Hackettstown forum as well as NJ.com.

I like the idea (posting) of starting a dog park here in Blairstown, as a lot of towns now have them. The problem is big cost = fence, water supply, and possible lighting if used after dusk. Most of Blairstown Twp. floods - Footbridge Park is a prime example of that, always muddy and buggy. A great spot would be the old farm next to First Hope Bank on Route 94. The town owns the property I think, purchased with our local Open Space tax dollars a few years ago. The area is an eyesore anyway so why not look into this location? I would be willing to help if other would care to join me and talk to the powers that be. Remember that we are in a recession and local dollars are hard to come by these days. It's unfair to ask residents for tax dollars but maybe we dog owners could raise the money if the town gives us some land to use??? Brian Keith of Blairstown - Child CareJust wanted to put the word out that the daycare center in town has just moved to 13 Stillwater Road. I stopped in the other day and was overwhelmed by the amount of classroom space they now have. The new location is far better than the previous, which was the Fountain Mall. This place is clean, comfortable and they do not share the property with any other businesses. It is just down the road from the elementary school. Their grand opening is this Saturday, 5/15 from 11-2PM. You should stop by and see the new center.
- HEADLIGHTS WHEN IT RAINSI would very much like to see our police/state police pull the offenders over with a warning about the law of running your headlights when it is precipitating and between its starting and stopping It makes sense to want to be seen and observe the law as well.
- Re: Bus Drivers on Cell PhonesIt would be good if people would take pictures of this, because they couldn't refute those! Good luck, because I agree...our kids are precious and don't need a bus driver who does that.
