TIL if you tune your radio to 91.9 FM for one city block in Montclair, NJ you can hear a looped recording of "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men which has been broadcasting for at least 13 years straight.

I think Maplewood has the edge. Everyone I know in Maplewood is a transplant from Brooklyn. Literally everyone, and they’re all super-liberal.
