Branchburg's first Chipotle proposed for Route 22

BRANCHBURG – The township Planning Board will continue a public hearing in January on a proposal to build a Chipotle on Raritan Valley College Drive at Route 22 in the North Branch section. RVCD LLC, part of Branchburg-based Larken Associates, wants to demolish the vacant PNC Bank on the 1.24-acre property and build a 2,385-square-foot restaurant with a "Chipotlane" for customers to pick up orders placed through the Chipotle app. Edmund Yu, a design manager for the Mexican grill chain, told the Planning Board on Oct. 27 that the restaurant expects to hire 30 to 40 workers, about half of whom would be part-time. The restaurant would have 40 indoor seats and 20 outdoor seats. Hours would be 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Yu said. How the Branchburg Chipotlane would work Yu said there would be no menu board or speaker at the Chipotlane because customers would place their orders through the app and use the lane only to pick up their food. The restaurant is a permitted use in the township's I-2 Industrial Zone. More: NJ lawmakers condemn Branchburg official over anti-Muslim post When the hearing resumes in January,

The Pennsylvania Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

Next time you go hiking in Bucks County, be sure to pack a hammer and don't be alarmed if you hear eerie sounds coming from deep inside the woods. No, these noises are not made by humans, animals, or even the movement of trees, but rather by a group of stationary boulders that emit a strange bell-like sound when struck. The Ringing Rocks phenomenon in Pennsylvania's Ringing Rocks County Park is a geological puzzle that has baffled people for centuries, and the science behind these rocks remains a mystery to this day.
