Their disgusting behavior and all of their trashy friends belong in Seaside Heights, not in a family-oriented community like Morristown. It's a horrible idea for the town. What good could possibly come of it?!? I suggest the mayor watch about 15 minutes of one of their "shows" and decide if he still thinks it's a good idea! Don't the residents of the town have any say in what is allowed to happen here?! The poor people at 40 Park haven't seen anything compared to what these low-lifes will bring to that area of town. What an absolute shame!! The mayor of Hoboken told them "NO" and so should we! I do not want my children growing up in Sleaside Heights!

So we will not allow a bowling alley into the town because it COULD bring more drinking and bad behavior to the town was denied. But a TV with it's only purpose to promote drinking and even worse behavior is going to be allowed. I hope the 3 months of revenue we might get is more than what a bowling alley would have brought.

Mr. Dougherty, Now the MHS girls will want to be just like Snooki. MHS pregnancies are going to sky rocket! My wife and I were talking about Snooki the other day and we couldn't come up with a worse roll model that isn't in Jail! Maybe you should re-think this one. PS: JWoww is a man

Simply put.... A really bad look for Morristown... Mayor Dougherty should do some research to know exactly what he's letting into the city.

"Has advised the town"??? Are you serious? Shouldn't the town "advise" if we want more trash on our streets? While we were all paying attention to bowling alley bars...these slobs slipped in the back door. Morristown will now be a punchline. Awesome. I'm moving.

Can you keep them there, please? My favorite places here in Seaside just aren't the same.

Josh - The revenue will mostly likely be used to repair destroyed town property, extra police and probably to defend a lawsuit or two once things are completely out of control....which they certainly will be. Maybe next year we can host "bamboozle" on the green...

This Mayor just does whatever he wants. First he lets his friend Jimmy open "Iron Bar", Occupancy 900, twice the occupancy of any other bar in town. Now Dougherty is letting this trash in! What in this world is he thinking? The bowling alley got turned down because of 40 Park yet Dougherty allows "Iron Bar"right underneath it and welcomes pregnant pooping Snooki to town. What a joke

Snookie is pregnant. Truthfully, I don't think they can get in much trouble. She lives in East Hanover...let it be. Big deal...

Morristown is not for families. What stores are geared for the family? There are more banks and bars then Hoboken. As a resident and family man of Mo-town I'm not hanging out there with my daughter. The Jersey shore ladies will probably give the dark horse some class. Maybe do a seen with the "mud lady"

Simply not a good idea....it's so ridiculous to think that they would bring anything else to town but embarrassment, ridicule and probably trouble! Really, Snookie....she's the worse role model ever! Way to go.....

I can't stand Jersey Shore either. But it's not for a guy called a "mayor" to decide what consenting private citizens or businesses do within a town or city. It's government's job to stand aside and let people trade and interact as they want to within the constraints of the laws. If you disagree with the bars that allow them to film, tell the bars and make it clear you won't patronize them. Boycott them. It's up to the market (you and others and bar owners) to decide who wins and who loses from this. It's not up to some guy called a mayor to tell you, or us, or anyone else what they can or can't do if they are not infringing on the rights of others. You may not like Jersey Shore and may want the mayor to nix their plans, but then you have to accept the fact that he can nix any plans that you are support, as well. When the mayor decides what happens and what doesn't, his or her office just becomes a hotbed of politics, graft, bribes and the connected.

I feel for Morristown, I live in Montville Township and we a stuck with two of the Real House Wives of NJ and they and their husbands are an embarrassment to most of the people who live here. The only thing worse that I can think of is to have Snookie and company show up. Morristown has such a rich history so central the the Founding of our Nation The mayor and Council ought to think about that before making this deal.

Run Snooki is coming!! Really people? Get a life... Its one person showing up for a day.

Bad idea. Please rethink this, Mr. Mayor.

What, if any ordinances are on the docket regarding film permits? If they had to apply for a permit, they could have been turned down with cause, and this would have been a non-issue. If the Town Council does not have any filming ordinances, then it's fair game and the production company the right to shoot throughout town.

This is just what the town does NOT need! I hope they don't show up at the Community Theatre for any concerts we are attending. Stupid stupid stupid

@Sam.....not one day.....aug 9 thru October

If they have some time maybe they can replace Terry Bradshaw in Parsippany's Infomercial .

They have advised the town that they will be filming in morristown.. what the heck does that mean.?? Im going to bring my 40 person crew into town and film them filming just to bust chops...

How will a few white trash losers change an entire town in one month? I really hope all y'all have more integrity and dignity than to allow some low-life kids change your way of life. I honestly welcome it...they will service our town with some decent entertainment. After all..who doesnt like watching trashy, drunk guidos make assess of themselves? ...i hope to bump into some of these morons in the ER when they drink too much ; )

Why does everything need to be filmed in the rich counties. Morris county has more than enough money. Why don't they film in less well off towns to give the more publicity. Which would result in more funding for the town.

It's a free country, people are allowed to roam where ever they'd like. Therefore, whether on or off camera, these 2 girls can hang out in Morristown or anywhere else they'd like. The show isn't going to be called "snooki and jwow take over morristown" so what's the big deal, people?! If you think Morristowns a so-called "perfect" town without these 2 girls being filmed there here and there, then you're all living in a dream world. If you've watched their current show in Jersey City, they hardly get out of the house. Snookis 8 months pregnant for crying out loud. What harm could she bring to the community? Maybe you should worry more about the towns amount of homeless people, increasing gang population, and illegal immigrants...less about this BS!

Man, the people on this site are such exaggerators and over-reactors. These ladies seem like awful, awful people as portrayed on television and I certainly don't want them here. But really, what kind of damage can a pregnant Snooki really do? Calm down; the sky is not falling. You all just like to complain about everything that happens in town that isn't to your choosing.

This shows such lack of judgement in Morristown's elected officials. If you followed the news, the city of Rome hated the cast of Jersey Shore being in their city, and showed it. Why bring such controversy here? Rethink this and politely say no. Television these days seems to make stars of people that behave in horrendous ways. Morristown has more class than that. It's not worth the small amount of revenue that it will bring in.

It's funny that this post has more comments on it than most actual news posts. Everyone is so up in arms about a couple weeks of filming but they seem to ignore what's really important. Get your sense of what's truly important together and move on! You sound like a bunch of bratty teenagers.

Wow, Morristown Mom seems to know an awful lot about Jersey Shore. I guess you'd have to watch it to know about their urinating, vomiting and whatever! Lighten up. It's a stupid television show. Be grateful that it's fake reality, not the reality like what happened in Colorado. That's tragic, not this.
Ann

Quite the Morristown Mom at 12:02 am, ranting and raving about another mother to be! Silly you, you must have forgotten Snooki and JWoww is on tomorrow night! Posting all of these hateful posts about a fellow "mom" (Snooki) is pretty harsh. She made some pretty bad decisions as an adolescent down the shore. I prey, your karma come full circle for your hatred and you dont have a daughter that does the same! All girls from This area (yes i know skooki is from ny) but At least she made MILLIONS doing it..who are you to judge her? Judge her on what she's doing and how she's changed..lm sure you would have crucified her if she had an abortion anyway.
Morristown just happens to be the closest area near East Hanover that has decent nightlife and reatraunts. You should be thanking certain 40 park residents if anyone is to blame for makeing a mess for the the local bars. Those businesses (other than Iron) were there WAYYY before they moved in, and they had an open house before they bought their condo, so it's no ones fault but their own! I'm sick of hearing about these tenants complain about this!

I am sad that I have to hear about this. Morristown isn't very classy. There are way too many homeless, illegal immigrants loitering, waiting for jobs(handouts) and now we add filth to the streets. I don't care if she is pregnant,she is a no- talent joke and I don't want to bump into that ridiculous entourage when I'm trying to get a bite to eat. I have to deal with drunks on my street every weekend. Now it is going to cause a new influx of people trying to catch a glimpse of this train wreck of tv. Cancel the show completely and problem solved.

A substantial part of the movie, "One True Thing," made from Anna Quindlen's novel, was filmed in a house on Farragut Place in Morristown. The town survived nicely, and I am sure it will survive Snooki as well. The film crews will probably be a nuisance mainly to the bar patrons--if you don't want to be bothered by them, stay out of the bars, and eat at Nara, Caffe India, HIbiscus, or Marjan.

What cares? I don't have time to watch TV.

I'm.going to open up a penicillin stand. It will make a fortune. Morristown isn't perfect, but the collective IQ will go down, not just because of them, but because of their admirers.

I didn't think things could get any worse in Morristown, but they just did....

I wonder if the mayor will decide to hide all of the homeless people that wander through our town day & night. I am sure that wouldn't look so nice on camera!

doesn't everyone have something better to do than go on and on and on about snooki and Jwow? there are more important things going on in our world right now. stop devoting SO much energy to this!

lol people need to relax!! its more entertaining to read everyone's comments than watching the show!! lighten up! have fun with it! if it is reall disturbing you...look away!!

Sure, they're trash, but can everyone just relax? They're not setting up shop here; it'll be some brief filming then everyone will forget about it. I'd be happier if the town said "No" but people here are acting as if the town will devolve into something like the worst neighborhood in Detroit.

i hope i get on tv!!!

This is going to royally screw any business that depends on walk-in trade (read "bars and restaurants"). Who's going to want to wander around when there's a gang of reality-show "idols" (or is that idiots?), plus film crews, plus "security", crawling around town ?

Revenues? I seriously doubt that importing this shoreline refuse into Morristown is going to increase revenues. And it will further damage the town's already-deteriorating reputation.

They better stay away from Raul's and Cluck-U... Me and my friends are NOT happy about this and will fight with fried chicken and ROCK empanadas to save our town.

Just what our kids need to witness ....idolized bunch of PWT...drunken and pregnant.
Think it over Mayor...do people really need to see these idiots? Is that your goal for Motown? Hoboken West? Maybe you're looking to follow in Hoboken's political footsteps?????

Why not film in their own town?? The strip malls in EH would love it!!

the so called mud woman has a name. it is mary ann and she is mentally ill with szchofrenia. (sorry, spelling is not my stong point.) she deserves sympathy not derision.

This is an opportunity for Morristown to demonstrate on national TV that we have have wonderful historic town and that our police can control our downtown when they have the Mayor's support. Snookie from what I hear is attempting to improve her image now that she's pregnant. Our right to life groups can have rallies to support her decision to have this baby. She can go to great shows at the Community Theater and get some frozen yogurt afterwards. Our police can show that our downtown may be booming but that its not the bars that brought its success but some great new shops and resturants. Snooki and JWow can purchase some sharp new clothers from our stores. They can eat and party safely under the watchful eye of our local officials Just don't let the girls bring any cans of white spray paint when they come into our town.

I'm 25 years old and I also agree that I don't want those trashy idiots in Morristown. I like living in a nice neighborhood and being able to go out by the green and have some fun and drink. If they come here though, this town will be turned upside down. People will load the bars, drunk muscle heads will be fighting, and there will be raging trashy girls running around everywhere. There's a reason why the show got kicked out everywhere they went. I really hope this doesn't happen. This in no way, shape or form is a good way to "demonstrate on national TV that we have have wonderful historic town". You think they are gonna film the historic sites? There are gonna film muscle heads getting into fights, girls brawling, and acting like drunken idiots in our town. This is Morristown not seaside heights, hoboken, or any other of those places.

I think it is a great idea to bring the girls here for some filming. I think it will do good for Morristowns small business and bring some money into this town. Perhaps now, maybe some of the vacant shops will be rented and something other then frozen yogurt will show its face. Or,because of the "fame" of these girls , more people will want to come to morristown to eat, drink, and spend their money keeping our small town business alive long after they have gone do to the national recognition of the show. I'm sorry, but it's time to start thinking outside of the box and put our personal opinions to the side and look at this as an opportunity for our town to experience "potential" financial growth due to the exposure of a few weeks of filming.

Holy Crap!! All Snooki aside, the thing that shocks me the most is that this many people read Patch!!

People need to relax!

This is great for morristown....LOOK people..Snooki and going to be 8 months pregnant..what kind of bars and clubs you think they will be raging in??? It will show how beautiful south street is and morristown as a whole to a national audience. I am all for it

Morristown is already a trash hole of public drunkenness. How much worse can it get?

You know, Ringo Starr played at the Community Theatre a couple of weeks ago and I noticed that a number of no-good, rapscallion teenagers with their mop-top haircuts flooded the town causing a ruckus. Imagine what fans of Snooki and JWoww would do? Morristown would be just a pile of ashes when they're through with us!

Hard to believe when people and children are suffering all over the world from sickness, hunger, and extreme poverty THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. If Snookie and Jwoww roaming your town is your biggest problem today: YOU WILL BE OKAY. If a bowling alley opening in your town is your biggest problem today: YOU WILL BE OKAY. If a drunken 21 year old throwing up on your lawn is your biggest problem today: YOU WILL BE OKAY. Be grateful you can afford to live in a town such as morristown. Be grateful you can afford to feed yourself and/or your children. Be grateful you and/or your children do not have cancer. And if you are dealing with one of these terrible problems: THEN YOU SHOULDNT BE WORRIED ABOUT SNOOKIE. Put your life and it's "problems" into perspective.

Recognizing the blurred line between theater and reality is important....I'd love to see this sort of objection and outspokenness with real subjects.

If you agree that this does not seem like something you want happening in our town then make your opinion count. Sign the petition that expresses how the residents & visitors of Morristown feel about allowing a Jersey Shore spinoff to occur on our streets and in our establishments. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/say-no-to-snooki-in-motown/

Seriously, is this really a big deal. Snookie is set to give birth in September. I can't imagine she will be getting in much trouble during those 2 months. I walk around Thurs, Friday and Saturday nights and see more potential for trouble than pregnant Snookie. I know this will not be the usual debacle that follows the St Patty's Day parade. There are many more things to worry about than this.

Thank God they are not recording in Parsippany!

They "Mayor" would make her a captain in the police dept.

I am a life-long Morristown resident and love this town. Morristown is filled with incredible history, diverse interests, growing commerce, diverse populations - it is a safe and wonderful place to live. If it's good enough for George Washington, it's good enough for me. It is incredibly disappointing to see how close-minded, negative and disrespectful to Morristown these comments are! Has anyone watched the news lately? There are droughts across the country, a horrific shooting in Colorado, rising crime rates and unemployment all over... there are way worse, way more troubled towns than Morristown. Yes, there are diverse populations - deal with it. Since when is diversity a negative? What is this, 1940? And like every other town in the country, Morristown is not crime-free. But the depiction of rampant murders and free-flowing heroin are just ridiculous. This is not Newark, this is not Elizabeth, this is the center of one of the wealthiest counties in the country. Seriously, if you think this is bad, you haven't been out much... If you're living here, you have it good. And yes, there are bars. But can we take a quick poll of many people have actually had someone passed out on there porch? Had someone puke on their car? No? Ok... to say that the town turns into a puke-covered druken mess on the weekends is just as ridiculous as the comments saying there are rampant shootings and drug cartels. You live in a pretty special place, please respect it.

omg... reading all these comments made me remember what real yuppies are. I spent a few years in the South with the military, and wow. Judgmental, pretentious, sanctimonious, and naive... Snooki and JoWoww walking around Morristown and spending money, and hanging out; with a film crew; these are your real world problems. Oh no, it's going to attract the wrong element, they're going to party, they're famous for being famous. Get over it. To the "concerned parents" your overwhelming concern is what is going to make your children rebel against you and act that way when they grow up. You can't protect children from reality; sorry. When you try to, they resent you for it. You may be doing great in your expensive county, with your money, but there are still people and businesses struggling; and guess what? While you're wrapped up in yourself, they're struggling in your back yard, and exposure even if it is from two young women who are famous for nothing (have some respect for woman, seriously) it's exposure which can bring revenue. While you're being all high and mighty and protecting your children, remember that that these girls are people's daughters when you call them tramps and trashy and that Snooki is about to be someone's mother; would you like someone talking about your mother that way? We all do stupid shit when we're young, not all in front of cameras, but none of us are perfect, and ignorance and judgments make you beneath them.

How many storefronts in morristown still remain empty? Try it! If we are influenced by what Snooki and JWoww do, that certainly that says something about us.

I lived in Morristown for the last 3 years and the filming of a show can't affect it. There's alot more problems thhat need to be delt with other the show, which I won't list because if you live here or come here offten you already know. But the show can only help the shops and bars on the green so let the fliming start. Plus just last weekend there where tons of loud drunk people on the green at night and that's what makes Morristown!

We are loving the back and forth and differing opinions on the matter but, please remember, keep it civil folks. If there are too many way out in left field comments, we'll shut them off. KTHXBAI

Snooki is pregnant and they are not filming the jersey shore!! its a spin off. Snooki cant drink and really how often does jwow get drunk. you probably wont even see them. its not like theyll be filming or making appearances. venues must pay big bucks to get these characters in their club on a weekend. they do have contracts. so needless to say theyll be gone by happy hour. a few hours a day while most people work will not hurt anyone. theyll probably be doing some shopping and having lunch in a venue during the week. get a grip people. its their job monday - friday. they do have lives and before you go off maybe you should learn a thing or two about film making. they do it at OFF peak times so as to NOT interrupt residence

Honestly Morristown mom u clearly have not been out in morristown at night Thursday thru Friday. It's a drunken mess even without reality shows that glorify it. Get things straight yeah Snooki and Jwoww had their moments on Jersey shore but if u have actually seen their new show with just them u would see there aren't crazy parties or drunken crazy nights. And how do u know what kind of mother she will be. The fact ur jugding people on there past you don't even know is ridiculous. Did u ever think that because of their appearances in morristow may make it safer? Instead of thinking of the negatives think of some positives for once. It's some good advice. Take it.

These women are fame whores.. The represent nj in a terrible way .. And they aren't even from nj!! Their ignorant and fake and should just go away..

One is our of wed lock pregnant and one has the fakest boobs ever.. really .. This is what we want our children thinking is normal? They made the shore look like trash and give real jersey women a very bad rap. I think they should just drop off the face of the earth.. I'm a born bred jersey girl and I'd like 5 minutes with these two to educate them in what a real jersey girl is all about.. It's class never trash .. Send them away mayor!! Say no!!

Mayor Dougherty should watch an episode or two of both shows before these two arrive in Morristown...

I may have to rename my summer series on my blogging website so it says "Things You Saw in Morristown but Wish You Didn't" comes the fall. I'm sure there will be many sitings like I captured comes the fall. Check it out http://www.theladyinredblog.com/the-odd-things-i-encounter.html

oops! *them

Snooks isn't go to do much - morristown at 2:00 am
On Saturday night is mayhem- if you think otherwise- you don't live here or sleep very soundly from your very early bedtime until the next morning. Drugs, crime, ridiculous illegal alien population - those are real problems.

Why in the hell would a very pregnant Snooki want to be hitting bars and clubs as the article states (restaurants, sure...food is good!)! I think the answer for her and JWhoCares is $$$$. Just returned from a weekend at the Hyatt Headquarters Plaza today. If we had to walk around that nonsense all weekend with four kids..I'd be annoyed to say the very least.

@Stacie I imagine she wants to be a WHORE just like the Kardashians .it is so sad that these people even get TV time.

THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO FILM HERE, NOT LIVE. SO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM FILMING HERE & BRINGING IN SOME BUSINESS. SO MANY OF THE CRAB A$$E$ HERE REALLY NEED TO JUST CHILL. IF IT IS REALLY GOIN G TO BOTHER YOU, JUST MOVE OUT OF TOWN FER THE COUPLE MONTHS THEY WILL BE FILMING HERE.

45 isn't to young. & i wasn't yelling, just like writing in caps. this town needs some excitement. a perfect place to entertain snooki & jwoww. so chill out, except & welcome them.

I don't know why everyone is having a cow. The scenes to be shot in Morristown are nothing more than Snooki scoring a few day laborers to haul to Seaside to clean the beach for her. You'll hardly miss them, she only needs 150.

I don't live in Morristown, so I'm on the fence about whether or not they should film there. But, I will say, in my opinion, that the entire Jersey Shore cast are young, immature and talentless morons, who are now rich and famous (or should I say infamous) thanks to the viewers who watch that ridiculous show and keep it on the air. I watched literally 5 minutes of the first show, and was instantly turned off. And I'm not uptight, nor a Mom, nor a kid. Then I had the "luck" of catching Snooki on the Jay Leno show and was floored by how stupid she is...a brick would have a higher IQ. Then I caught about 10 minutes of a much later episode, and still found it to be stupid, boring, irritating...I can't even find enough negative words to describe it. I would be mortified if I was on film smashed, falling off a bike, etc. Yet this chick is now richer than most of us put together. But, again, we get to thank the viewers for this...those who chose The Jersey Shore as one of their guilty pleasures. The residents of Morristown should go out and get fake tans to make them feel welcome! ;-))

Dark Horse can't get any worse. Hey, maybe it'll even bring some more security down to the area at night.

I don't want them to film here. Does that make me an overzealous nut? No! I fail to see any redeeming value to her as a celebrity and don't believe she is a good role model...period. Do you have a right to disagree with me? Absolutely! To me, it's bad enough that she and her cohorts corrupted our beautiful shoreline by using the namesake "Jersey Shore" as their moniker. Are there bigger problems in life yes? Does that mean that I'm ok with her being here? No! Are their homeless in Morristown? Yes! Is that a good thing? No! Because I complain about Snooki, does that mean I should solve illegal immigration, homelessness, drug addiction, dirty streets, world hunger? No! Only giving my opinion on Snookums and J average coming here to film.

what happened to live and let live - are all the naysayers "perfect" Snookie has been trying very hard to show the world she is going to be a good mother - her past antics may have been a little gross but these shows are all about ratings....I do not watch it regularly but once in a while i will tune in and it is amusing. East Hanover is mostly Italian and Gianni and Snooki really make a cute couple. The complainers out there must have perfect kids to be so judgmental. Bring it on JWow and Snooki.

I can't believe you are still crying about this Stacy. I'm not sure what you see as charming, but I don't see it. Historic / history, its just that, history. Leave it in the past where it belongs. There is no history that is worth keeping in the present. I can't imagine in 30 years the history books will have that Snooki & Jwoww filmed a reality show here, It will all be forgotten in 3 months & never talked about again.

I hope they visit long enough to worship with us on Sunday mornings at the most historic place in town: The Presbyterian Church in Morristown. Been here since 1733! The Green was our front yard. Service times at: www.pcmorristown.org

I'm sorry for not seeing how you spelled your name, & spelled it how I felt like it should be, lol. Well they live in hoboken now I think, or atleast thats where they lived for the 1st season of their show, I think. My wife watches that crap, Only time I watch it is if my wife is watching it & I have nothing better to do. I don't think they should even have a show period. I think the show is the biggest waste of brain cells. The only reason i'm even commenting here is that I live in Morristown, & I love going against what most other people like. If everyone else was going for red, I would be going for blue, lol.

They shouldn't have been denied access to shoot in Morristown :(

I Love JWOWW !!!!

its is awsome
