Nutley Chamber of Commerce Website Review

Overview: The Nutley Chamber of Commerce website is next up in my review of useful Nutley sites. This site is all about the Nutley Chamber of Commerce and the businesses that make up its membership.

General Information

Site: Nutley Chamber of Commerce

Here is their Mission Statement:

Since 1953, The Nutley Chamber of Commerce has represented businesses and professionals with a wide variety of enterprises, working together to promote the economic development of our town. It is an integral part of Nutley’s hometown character and small town image. It is a voluntary, non-profit, private organization, autonomous and independent, neither seeks nor accepts financial aid from any other organization. Financed entirely by membership dues, the Chamber is not supported by tax dollars, affiliated with town government nor answerable to any other organization. Its sole loyalty is to its members and our community.

Chamber members are dedicated to the premise that in unity there is strength. Cooperation is key. They believe more can be accomplished as a group than as individuals. Attending to the needs of its members contributes to the overall well-being of the township.

Best Parts

Hands down, the best part of this site is the Member Directory. They list all of the members along with business information and links to their sites.
I also like the Calendar of Events.

Could Be Better

I would certainly like to see a little more modern design. The site has some useful information, it’s just not very easy on the eyes. Since I’m not one to criticize without suggesting an better alternative, I would be happy to offer any web design/development tips.

Nutley Saint Patrick's Day Parade

Christopher Masiello — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 03:34:55 +0000

Bag Pipes, Fire Trucks, and Street Beer but No $2,000 Fines

Why I Love Nutley

My favorite event in Nutley is the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade that is held on Franklin Avenue each year. I love that the whole town is just packed down onto the main drag to have some fun. There are kids, grown ups, street drinking, but none of the knuckleheads that come to ruin Hoboken or Belmar. It’s great to see a bunch of people having fun without becoming jerks.

I’m only a little Irish on my mother’s side, but I still love me some Saint Patrick’s Day. The bag pipes, the food, the beer, and the general festive feeling. It’s definitely a hugging day. The amount that I give and get seems to go up ten-fold.

This year was great. The weather was perfect and the parade was a lot of fun. Yet another great reason to live in Nutley.

Here are some pictures that I took at the Parade:
