Parkers Maple Barn. It's an attraction because the food is SO good. But mostly, the maple syrup in the gift shop is almost famous now. If you're ever in the area, you have to stop by.

FORT LEE, N.J. (AP) - A teenager headed to a Sweet 16 party was killed after he stuck his head out of the emergency hatch of a double-decker bus and hit the underside of a highway overpass, police said.OUCH. What a way to go. No doubt this was an awful terrible moment for everyone. The company that owns the bus will be conducting an internal investigation.
