Fallout Camden
Every now and then our region catches the eye of the world albeit usually not in the way we’d like.
The U.K. Daily Mail, yesterday, June 26, carried a story about Camden, N.J with the headline Camden, city of ruins: Depressing images of once-thriving metropolis reduced to decaying, crime-ridden rubble
And to think that it wasn’t that long ago I was making fun of Detroit.
Tip to video game makers: forget places like Las Vegas and Washington D.C., set the next Fallout game in Camden.

Beware Of Lyme Disease
Summer is the height of tick season, and residents are reminded to take precautions to avoid exposure to deer ticks, the carriers of Lyme disease, says State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
Those who spend a lot of time outdoors in grassy or wooded areas are advised to:
- Wear long pants, long sleeves and socks while hiking, mowing the lawn or spending time in the woods or other tick habitat.
- Spray tick repellant on shoes and clothing.
- Check for ticks on the body after outdoor exposure.
Lyme disease often first appears as an inflamed red ring around the site of a tick bite, and if untreated can cause serious inflammation and pain that can greatly impact quality of life.
