1. This site seeks to serve our Landing & Port Morris NJ Community by providing a central place for all town info; listings of retail stores, service businesses, school info, pages of historic Landing photographs, Roxbury Township info, Lake stuff, links to community websites and much more.
2. This site is free, we don't charge for the directory listings, and unlike the various bogus "your community website", (which looks the same for every town) has no hidden commercial agenda.
3. This site is non-political, non-partisan, family-friendly and seeks the good of all of Landing.
4. We invite your ideas and contributions to this site in the form of remembrances of Landing history, photos we can scan and share with others, Landing community activities and announcements, etc.
5. This site was created from scratch and is edited from our beautiful Landing NJ studios overlooking scenic Lake Hopatcong. (well, to be honest, in the winter you can see some of the Lake through the trees from our spare bedroom)

Most of the historical articles on the site were researched and written by the Editor, always noting sources at the end of the article. Increasingly, we see our work being . . . err . . . 'borrowed' without credit by other websites, by sellers of historical items on eBay, and most interestingly by a Staff writer for the Star-Ledger Newspaper in a June 2005 "Town Snapshot" of Roxbury. Don't worry Brian F., your job is safe since our Legal Department (my 11 year old son) is undecided between a career in Law or being a Stand Up Comic. (Ok, ok, so sometimes there isn't a difference). If you want to use material from this site, just ask nicely, and all will be well. Otherwise, my 11 year old will find you and force you to listen to hours of corny knock-knock jokes.

(These are real individuals visiting the website. "Visitors" is defined by my hosting service as those who view at least 2 pages of the website. Each visit produces dozens of "hits", i.e., graphics, pages or images within the site that are viewed. Quoting "hits" to show site popularity is meaningless and misleading. For example, in May 2004 we had 37,211 'hits', but 2,377 actual unique individual visits. "Page Views" are a bit more telling, but still misleading. "Visitors" are the real and most honest gauge)
