The Big Exit Zero Information Page
Everything you wanted to know about Cape May’s peppy periodical... and then some 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 do we turn the clocks back and forward? It makes for longer evenings and saves on energy. Nearly half of the world now does it. Germany and Austria were the first countries, in 1916. BUT the town of Thunder Bay in Ontario actually got there first, in 1908.

Andy Reid, head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and former head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, stayed in Cape May in 2012. Two years later, it was Reid who made sure the Eagles drafted Nick Foles instead of the higher-rated Kirk Cousins.
Have you been to see the newest camel at the Cape May County Zoo yet? Walter, not even a year old, is an endangered Bactrian type, meaning he’s got two humps for storing fat when food is not available. And boy is he cute!
Historic Cold Spring Village is an open-air, living history museum that focuses on early 19th-century American life — aka, the age of homespun — particularly in south Jersey. Set on more than 30 acres and encompassing 27 restored buildings from across the county, this is the largest living history museum in the state. When you’re finished visiting with the site’s historical interpreters, check out the bakery, ice cream parlor, country store and brewery (yes, brewery!) on site.
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN AN EDITOR? IT’S RIDDLE TIME! «Here is this week’s riddle — Jack and Diane got this one immediately. Answer is on page 18. A man was walking on the mall when it started to rain. He didn’t have an umbrella and wasn’t wearing a hat. His clothes got soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?
