Flemington, N.J

Update Oct. 2019 - Site no longer works - Good !
Update 2017 - Site dead, no update since 2007.
The site was running for 11 years with no updates !

[flemingtonnj dot com] was finally removed after starting out in early 2000s as a web site with business listings and photos of the town.  It failed to be updated after 2007.  So most of the information on the website was inaccurate and outdated.  Finally in 2019 the site was removed.
[History] His personally made web site was threatened with legal action back in early 2000s' if not removed from the WEB by the wonderful elected officials in Flemington.
Not quite legal dudes! 
Flemington officials backed down.

July 2025.  Main Street is empty
during the days, there are a few weekend
events.
