New Restaurant on Planning Board Agenda

If the Freehold Borough Planning Board approves an application at tonight’s meeting the downtown area could have an Indian restaurant opened in the next few months.

The application for a restaurant called Gola Sizzler is the first item on the agenda. If approved the restaurant would be built at 5 West Main Street, site of the former Ballew Jewelers. Part of the application includes a waiver for the site plan and a parking variance for the location. You can keep up with the latest developments on the restaurant by checking out their Facebook page.

If the National Weather Service is right we should see a break from the nice weather today before it returns tomorrow. The forecast for today calls for a high of 51 degrees with an 80 percent chance of rain. Total rainfall during the day could be as much as half an inch of rain. The rain should pass before 7 p.m. making for a mostly clear night with a frigid low near 36 degrees.

Today is a big day for people named Jerry, Maury and Ellen as it’s TV Talk Show Host Day. It is also National Mole Day. The day does not refer to the furry animal but rather the scientific unit of measure.
