From Splurge in Millburn to Eden Gourmet in South Orange and The Able Baker in Maplewood, Super Bowl-themed cakes, cupcakes and cookies are on display this Super Saturday and Sunday, but disappearing quickly.

Chamber wants to "level playing" field with online retailers by requiring them to charge NJ sales tax like local stores must.
The Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Commerce presented the Millburn Township Committee Tuesday night with a resolution seeking fair tax laws for online commerce that will make it easier for local shops to compete with the Internet. Hoping to garner support from the Township Committee, Shayne Austin Miller, president of the Chamber, read a lengthy resolution, and said local businesses have a hard enough time competing with online companies such as Amazon. Add in the fact that those customers don’t have to pay sales tax, it’s almost impossible, he said. “We want the big Internet giants to [charge] tax,” Miller said. “They should charge the New Jersey sales tax and send it to New Jersey.” The resolution aims to promote was has been termed as…

A longtime tradition of milk delivery meets modern convenience locally.
While residents doze or grope for that first cup of coffee, trucks criss-cross the community in the early morning, dropping off milk, bread and eggs at a growing number of homes in Millburn, Maplewood, South Orange and other nearby towns. While milk delivery sounds like a relic of another era, it’s a modern solution for many families. “We have a lot going on around the house,” explains Jane Madden of South Orange. “With two very young children, ages 1 and 3, and two working parents, we’re busy and it’s hard to drop everything to run a quick errand. The milk delivery has been a godsend.” Madden has a standing order that arrives weekly. “Because I know we’ll have milk, bread and eggs,” she says, “I know we can have French toast for dinner …
It was a year of big news in Millburn-Short Hills.
When I started working as the local editor of Millburn-Short Hills Patch nine months ago, I figured my days of covering disasters were over, or at least would be few and far between. After 25 years in the news business and a lot of disaster coverage, I was fine with that. And I had always dreamed of someday running a small town newspaper, keeping folks up-to-date on news that hits home. Patch seemed like the 21st Century version of that dream. So much for the quiet life of a small-town news editor. 2011 was a big year for news in Millburn-Short Hills, with two natural disasters in two months (three if you count the earthquake, but I don't really) from flooding during Hurricane-turned-Tropical Storm Irene to a freak October snowstorm. And …

The comings and goings of local businesses around town.
2011 brought a lot of movement among businesses in Millburn and Short Hills. Despite a tough economy that brought an end to some businesses, many optimistic entrepreuers opened new business, and other shops and restaurants are in the works. After a spell with a lot empty storefronts downtown, Millburn is now at about 85 percent occupancy, said outgoing president of Downtown Millburn John Buchholz. New stores have opened and other stores and restaurants are moving. And Tinga is still working to re-open after being wiped out by the raging Rahway floodwaters from Irene on Aug. 28. "We're excited about what's going on downtown," said Downton Millburn's new executive director Lisa Hackett, whose offices are moving from the location on Millburn…
