Newsworthy This Week: Red Bank Council, Walgreens, Remembering 9/11

Happy Monday, friends and fans!

What a great first local summer weekend it was. Right? With weather cooperating quite nicely, there were tons of events and some quality beach time to take advantage of before the first day of school.

Today's that day for most in the area. So, we'll have some more back-to-school tidbits later.

In the meantime, guess what? Great weather again, today. It's supposed to be mostly sunny with high temperatures near 73 degrees. And the rest of the week looks pretty much the same, except that there's a nasty little chance of thunderstorms for Wednesday night (30 percent).

And, here's the tide table for Sea Bright today:

2013-09-09 12:16 p.m.   3.70 feet  High Tide
2013-09-09  6:34 p.m.    0.16 feet  Low Tide
2013-09-09  7:14 p.m.    Sunset
2013-09-10 12:31 a.m.   3.30 feet  High Tide
2013-09-10  6:32 a.m.    Sunrise
2013-09-10  6:40 a.m.    0.15 feet  Low Tide

And, here's the mystical moon and sun information of the day from www.tides4fishing.com:

"The moon will rise in the southeast (109º) at 10:51 a.m. and will set in the southwest (249º) at 9:28 p.m. ...

The lunar phase is a Waxing Crescent. Today we have 12 hours and 42 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 12:53 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 10 hours and 37 minutes."

Who made it to the Red Bank Street Fair? Check out our pics. And, if you were at the beach — or not — you may want to take a look at some of the photos we caught of the barges that are out to sea and pumping up the sand for Sea Bright. And, we got some fun shots of folks enjoying some local summer time as well.

There's a meeting Tuesday concerning the proposed Walgreens at the former Rassas site on Broad Street. More on that later.

On Wednesday, the Red Bank Borough Council meets at 6:30 p.m. in the usual spot.

There will also be quiet remembrances of those who were victims of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

The Red Bank Shade Tree Commission meets on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

If we've missed anything, let us know.

In the meantime, I'll see you around the towns …
