The phone had weight to it. Real weight. The dial had resistance. You had to commit to each number — pull it all the way around, wait for it to click back, then do it again.

If you messed up on the 9th digit, you hung up and started over. No backspace. No autocorrect. No "recent calls" list. You either knew the number by heart or you walked to the kitchen drawer where your mom kept the address book with everyone's number written in actual ink. We learned patience because the tools demanded it. We learned focus because distraction meant starting over. We learned things by doing them wrong first, then doing them right 100 times until our hands remembered.

The world used to come with a learning curve. We're better for having climbed it.

Action Park has become one of the most legendary pieces of New Jersey lore because it genuinely felt like a real-life daredevil experiment disguised as a waterpark.

Opened in Vernon in 1978, the park became infamous for rides that were fast, chaotic, and straight-up dangerous.

People still tell stories about flying off the Alpine Slide, surviving the wave pool nicknamed “The Grave Pool,” or leaving with burns, bruises, missing skin, and somehow still wanting to go back the next weekend.

The whole place had a reputation for being total chaos in the best and worst ways possible.

Today, Action Park has basically become NJ folklore, one of those things that sounds completely made up until you realize it actually existed.

Mortgage rates likely won’t drop sharply overnight, and they won’t mirror the Fed’s moves one-for-one. But if the Fed begins a rate-cutting cycle, and markets continue to expect it, mortgage rates could trend lower later this year and into 2026.

If you’ve been waiting and watching the housing market, now’s the time to talk strategy. Even small changes in rates can make a meaningful difference in affordability, and understanding what’s ahead helps you make the best decision for your situation.

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) meets this week, and expectations are high that they’ll cut the Federal Funds Rate. But does that mean mortgage rates will drop?

Mortgage rates just had their biggest one-day drop in over a year.

They fell to the lowest they've been since last October.

And that shift matters. Compared to when rates were at 7% earlier this year, that could mean your future monthly payment is now about $200 lower.
