Drip Coffee Coming to Morristown

Madison-based independent coffee cafe opening second location in space formerly occupied by Greenberry's, which closed in early 2012.

A Greenberry's-sized void in Morristown's coffee culture is expected to be filled sometime in March. Drip Coffee, which has been open in Madison since September 2008, is coming to town. Rupert Jones, owner and operator of the Main Street cafe, confirmed he and business partner Sandy Mathews have purchased the building formerly occupied by Greenberry's Coffee and Tea on the Green and are opening a second Drip Coffee location sometime in March. "We kept it under wraps for awhile," said Jones, who had previously lived in Morristown for 20 years and was eager to expand the Drip Coffee brand into the town. "I have a great deal of affection for the town." The sale for an undisclosed amount was finalized at the end of December.  The location …

Hurry and open! The Swiss Bakery is no longer a coffee shop. It is now too commercial. I'm looking forward to a quiet atmosphere and hopefully there won't be TVs on the walls.   more ›

'AC Bandit' Cools Off in Morris Twp., Hits Madison

Police say burglar who has struck four Morris Township homes likely responsible for Elm Street break-in last week.

The so-called "AC Bandit" who police say has pushed in window air conditioners to burglarize four Morris Township homes over the past two months, may have struck a Madison residence last week. A window air conditioner was pushed in at an Elm Street residence last Monday and a laptop computer, iPad, sneakers and a T-shirt were reported stolen, according to NJ.com. The incident fits the pattern of four recent burglaries in the Washington Valley section of Morris Township. Since June 11, the "AC Bandit" has hit Morris Township homes on Gaston Road, Whitehead Road, Picatinny Road and most recently last Sunday—the day before the Madison incident—on Burnham Road, police said.

Realogy's Move to Madison Nearly Didn't Happen

Christie, Guadagno and other officials celebrate groundbreaking of real estate giant's new headquarters.

Gov. Chris Christie, Lt. Gov Kim Guadagno and Madison Mayor Robert Conley stood with silver shovels over a pile of dirt Wednesday morning to mark the groundbreaking of Realogy's site in Madison. The international real estate firm is relocating its headquarters from Parsippany to the new location at 175 Park Ave. "Think about where we were two years ago," the governor said before a crowd of state and local officials and members of the business community. "The responsiveness or lack thereof of state government was so bad, that a worldwide company like Realogy, which we were fortunate to have headquartered in New Jersey, was literally ready to walk out the door without any type of reaction from the governor's office." Two years ago, the …

24 Hours, 9 Thefts. Cops Say Lock Those Cars

Crimes of opportunity seen in multiple communities.

Lock your cars already, people. That's the message from Morris Township Police, who say there have been nine reports of thefts from unlocked parked cars in the last 24 hours in Morris Township. "They're happening all over, Ketch Road, Canfield Road–which is on the other side of the Township–and then Western Avenue in the middle," Captain Rich Ferrone of the Morris Township Police Department said. Ferrone said the items stolen were "the usual: GPS units, iPods, wallets, cash."  Similar incidents have occurred repeatedly over the last few months in Morris Township and the surrounding communities. In mid-May, Patch reported on six thefts involving unlocked vehicles that occurred over a two-day period in the township. Among the items reported …
