I CALL DIBS! I CALL DIBS!!
March 28, 2011

Ok guys, I'm calling DIBS on DISCOVERING Princeton's newest IT girls! 

Sophie Telegadis is on the Cover Girl for this month's Family Fun Magazine!  

Not surprisingly, Sophie comes from a go-getter  mom, Karin Telegadis, who invented  "The Plush Pad® by Ah Goo Baby®!:

It's a multi-purpose memory foam surface for your baby...bringing the comfort of the nursery into any room and any place.  It's available at Baby's R Us at Nassau Park and all the best mommy bloggers and websites can't stop talking about it:

I gotta think both Sophie and Karin had to combine A LOT of determination to reach such impressive goals.  Let's hear it for these Princeton Get It Done Girls!

Like Sand Through The Hour Glass, So Is the Days of Mike's Lives...

I've bought the domains and trademarked the title "Barber Mike 2" because I know his return to downtown Princeton is gonna be a blockbuster!

The set: 33 Witherspoon next to Tico's Eatery and above Arlington Capital ......

The story:  Are you kidding me? It doesn't get any more dramatic than this!  When Mike opens later this month, save $10 at the movies and let Mike break down the script!   It'll make you laugh .... it'll make you cry .... it'll make you glad you're a local. 

The end of the movie:  Mike's shop is gonna be BIGGER AND BETTER with familiar cast (and some new crew too)! 

All the barbers in Princeton are great folks but our family fell for Mike the minute we walked into his shop three years ago.  Mike turned off a tournament game for Stosh and put on Cartoon Network.  Three years later, Mike and Stosh watch the games together and do the whole smack talk and high five deal.  Mike (and all the long standing Princeton merchants) give us that Mayberry vibe!

Plus, who can resist a comeback kid with a feel good ending?  NOT US!!!!

Here's a shot of an acapella group challenge/celebration at the Princeton Public Library last night ......

Oh, I know you'll think it's me being all sentimental and wanting to be generous to kids singing without synthesizers ......

Give it a listen.......yes, some chicks threw their underwear during the performance too!  SO PRINCETON!http://www.youtube.com/user/princetontourcompany

Diddy, Princeton is 45 minutes from NYC ..... acapella groups are A NO BRAINER for Bad Boy Records!

(Plus, what girl doesn't secretly dig the brainy type?)

So, Princeton Township, Princeton Borough and Princeton University are all pitching in to make sure there is FREE PARKING and FREE SHUTTLES for shoppers this holiday season.

This season, let's give up the popularity contest between Princeton Township/Borough and University!  Like Robbie, Chip and Ernie they're adorable as individuals ..... but cast together?  Man, that'll get Boston & New Haven green with envy!

Why Princeton Greats Don't Intimidate Me ....
November 22, 2009

The best Princeton Greats aren't in the game to intimidate .... they're in it to inspire.....to ignite an interest.

We really hope our tours do the same thing.  Start a curious adventure ...... make you look twice at something you've seen a million times ....

Who doesn't want to know Sonia Sotomayer's favorite haunt on campus?  Who doesn't want to know why Jerry Seinfeld still giggles about Princeton?  Who doesn't want to know where Toni Morrison gets her stationary? 

 WE KNOW, WE TELL AND GUESS WHAT?  THEY DON'T MIND!  THEY LOVE PRINCETON AS MUCH AS WE DO!

Alot of folks ask me why I'm so into this, why I care so much ....

(I didn't go to Princeton University, I didn't go to Nassau Nursery  and I didn't grow up in Princeton)

but I'm strangely possessed with telling her story .... it's impossible to explain but this song gets it pretty close -  at the very end the lyrics nail my passion .....

Princeton Gives You the Power To Be, The Power to Give, The Power to See:
