Good morning. One of the best parts of my job is that I get to learn something new about New Jersey every day and share it with you all through this newsletter. One of the coolest examples I can give you was a story recently pitched by our hidden history writer, Kathleen, who wanted to showcase the intriguing past of Burlington Island: a piece of land that sits in the middle of the Delaware River off the coast of — you guessed it — Burlington. Not many people realize that it was once the site of an amusement park, sand mining operation and dumping ground, but now its beauty is coming back to life. Are you ready to start exploring? — Hunter Hulbert, Editor
