Roaming around town with your laptop is getting more convenient these days. There's WiFi hotspot internet connections in more and more places. The new Barnes & N0ble Livingston Mall is the latest place with AT&T WiFi service.
- AT&T Wi-Fi service allows customers to use their laptop computers and personal digital assistants anywhere in the Barnes & Noble Livingston store or café to surf the Internet and connect to corporate networks at speeds 50 to 100 times as fast as a dial-up connection. A single two-hour session costs $3.95, and an annual membership gives unlimited access to Barnes & Noble and more than 50,000 other AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots.
The other places I've seen around town with WiFi internet connections (paid and free) are:
- Livingston Library (Free)
- Dunkin Donuts
- Fresh City (Free)
- Starbucks (2 hours daily free with StarbucksRewards Card which is free + a purchase within last 30 days)
- Office Depot on Route 10 (Free)
- Borders Books and Music (T-mobile Paid Wifi service)
- McDonald's (Paid)
Do you know of any other WiFi Hotspots in or around Livingston? Let me know and post a quick comment below. . .

The
Livingston Barnes & Noble will stay open late on September 19 so customers can be among the first to pick up the new book
Brisingr
. (
Brisingr is the third book in Christopher Paolini
’s Inheritance Cycle.)
It officially goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. on September 20, so to meet the technical sale date, the store will stay open really late.
The
new Barnes and Noble store at Livingston Mall will also host a
Brisingr Release Party on September 20 at 2 p.m.
I don't know how much Barnes & Noble Livingston Mall will be selling the new book Brisingr for, but Amazon has is for $15 with free shipping.
In addition, in the past, I know that Amazon has shipped pre-sale books early so that you get it in the mail the actual day of the release, making the difference between buying from Amazon and from the local bookstore the fact that you'll have it delivered to you vs. you have to get in the car, go to the store, wait in line and then drive back home.
If you have Amazon Prime, it's definitely worth buying from Amazon since you'l be guaranteed to have it this week with Free Express Shipping upgrades.

It's kind of amazing that there isn't a "big box" auto parts store around town. No PepBoys, No AutoZone, etc. I guess there's a Strauss Auto on Route 10 in East Hanover, but they aren't that big -- more of a gas station + oil-change place.
In Livingston, it's good old Herman's Auto Parts on Mt. Pleasant Avenue a little further down from the Post Office. This is the auto parts store you know from the "good old days" where it's a small store that tends to stock a LOT of little parts. Small enough that you'll feel like you're stepping back in time - no mass-market hourly workers in same-color uniform polo t-shirts behind the counter. In fact, it just might be Herman that helps you out. But they are big enough that they take credit cards....none of that "cash or check only" business.
My brake light bulb is out, so that's where I'm headed first thing tomorrow morning...

We picked up our FREE Size 5 Soccer Ball over at Gogel Tire today on Route 10 in East Hanover, across from Home Depot.
We brought in the certificate we got from our Livingston Soccer Coach last weekend and they asked if we wanted a size 4 or size 5 soccer ball. Voila! Spence had a shiny brand new soccer ball.
Although no purchase is necessary and they certainly didn't pressure my into any sale, I'm now waiting on a quote for new brakes for our car. That was the first time I was in their shop, and I'm glad I went in. They were super nice and friendly.
Certainly the type of positive experience you want in a corporate sponsor for the Livingston Kinderkickers Soccer club.

Hey, it's officially 2pm on Tuesday! Do you know what that means?
FREE admission for everyone to the Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange, NJ! Right behind the Codey Arena at South Mountain, you'll find the entrance to a cute and quaint little zoo.
Yes, they make a big deal about the fact that Turtle Back Zoo is
now an accredited zoo. That means they have a hospital and other upgraded facilities that will ensure the best health and protection for the animals and a great experience for the kids visiting the destination.
We're going to try out the
free choo choo train ride around the South Mountain lake as well as the new animal carousel, which isn't actually free...$2.00 :( But at least we save on the $8 admission for adults as well as the $4 admission for kids it normally takes to get into the zoo.
See you there!

The summer flew by and we're finally back to school tomorrow!
But there's one more day of summer fun -- today!
And if you're quick, you can zip over to the Barnes & Noble Livingston to pick-up your completely free book.
Last year,
they gave out over 300,000 free books to kids in 1st Grade to 6th Grade through their
Summer Reading Program.
Just
print out the reading journal, fill out 8 books you've read this summer and bring it into Barnes & Noble on Mt. Pleasant Avenue (Route 10 West) by the Livingston Circle.
Enjoy!
