FREQUENTLY ASKED Qs What happened to the Exit Zero Store and Cookhouse? We are in the process of planning Exit Zero Filling Station, a super-exciting project right across the road from our old place. It will be a gas station, convenience & merchandise store and restaurant! The leases on our old building expired so, while the new HQ is being built, we are producing this magazine from a secret location on the island. When will the new place be open? Late spring — that’s as precise as we can get right now. What if I need to visit you in person? We should be able to take care of your requirements by phone and/or email, but if you REALLY need to make a visit, call us first on 609-770-8479. If you don’t have a shop, how do I buy a Discount Deck or EZ merchandise? You can buy the Discount Deck either by calling the above number and paying by credit card or by visiting our online store at ezstore.us. For now, there is a limited amount of stock in our online store — a few selections of T-shirts and hoodies, mostly. I used to stop by the store for my copy of the magazine. Where do I go now? We deliver all over the island, and as far as Rio Grande. Closest spots to our old office include Sunset Liquors, CVS, West End Garage and Cappelletti’s. Why are you no longer offering subscriptions? Too many people were either receiving their issues very late or, in some cases, not at all. That’s all down to the vagaries of sending by bulk mail, which was our only option, unless you want to pay $100 to get EZ delivered first-class (some people actually HAVE signed up). Please note that you can still subscribe to the color issues — $25 for three issues. Call 609-770-8479 to order, or visit ezstore.us. Why did the New England Patriots bench their best defensive player in the Super Bowl? It isn’t clear why Malcolm Butler didn’t line up at cornerback, but aren’t you glad he didn’t?!

SOME INTERESTING TRIVIA AND FUN FACTS
Celebrity Sightings
On The Wild Side
Local Landmark
It’s a badly kept secret, but punk legend Blondie, aka Debbie Harry, is a regular visitor to the island after buying a home in Cape May Point last year. Sightings include dinner at the Mad Batter. Remember: Give celebs their space!
We were sorry to hear about the passing of snowy owl Higbee in January. RIP to this beautiful creature, who, wearing a transmitter, helped advance The Nature Conservancy’s understanding of the value of New Jersey’s salt marshes.
The mostly submerged SS Atlantus, part of a fleet of concrete ships commissioned during World War I, ran aground just off Sunset Beach in 1926 while it was being prepared to form a manmade reef. Reminder: Please do not walk out to the remains on frozen water this winter, as many have done. It’s not safe — there’s moving water and currents under that ice. In fact, walking out there makes even less sense than a ship made of concrete!
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN AN EDITOR? IT’S RIDDLE TIME! «Every week, we’re offering up a riddle that we first try ourselves. This one stumped us all. Can you do better? Answer is on page 24, but don’t cheat. A Lower Township student leaves home. He makes three left turns. He returns home and finds two masked men. Who are the masked men?
