McLoone’s Pier House on the beach in the heart of Pier Village, Long Branch NJ is a great place to celebrate the holidays this year. Tim McLoone opened his first restaurant, McLoone’s Rum Runner, located in Sea Bright NJ on the Shrewsbury River back in 1987. It’s been noted that Tim embarked upon this venture to fulfill his dream as a restaurateur as well as an entertainer to bring about his love of music to his friends and perform with some notable friends. Tim McLoone has performed over the years with Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon JOvi, Southside Johnny, Bob Bandiera, and has his own band, Tim McLoone and The Shirleys.

Tim McLoone, a graduate of Harvard and talented musician, is the founder of Holiday Express, an all volunteer group of over 100 musicians and other volunteers who perform free Holiday events and parties for needy organizations between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve every year. Holiday Express caters to the unfortunate, especially, in times of disaster; e.g., a trip to the Gulf after Hurrican Katrina.

Since the successful opening of McLoone’s Pier House in the redeveloping city of Long Branch, it has opened the McLoone’s Asbury Grille and Tim McLoone’s Supper club in yet another emerging city, Asbury Park. For other places to enjoy in Long Branch NJ click here.

Do you look forward to Christmas and decorating the tree?  Are you bored with the same old decorations each year?  Well try decorating your Christmas tree with Ribbons and lights this year.  It can take on an entire new look for your home.  I watched this video and was drawn in to the idea of Ribbons on the Tree – make sure you put plenty of lights, too…..

Selling a home during Christmas time is very exciting with all the decorations and lighting – it can definitely enhance the sale.
