Loud Mystery Music Baffles South Jersey Residents
The noise just won't stop.
Every night, South Jersey residents living in Carney's Point, Penns Grove and Pennsville can hear a loud thumping coming from across the river. Sometimes it sounds like jazz. Sometimes it sounds like salsa, residents said.
No one can pinpoint the music's origin, but several people suspect it's coming from Delaware.
Even police officers can't figure it out.
"It sounds like there's a car out front of your house with a loud thumping radio," Penns Grove Police Chief John Stranahan said.
Police dispatchers have received nearly 60 calls since Oct. 20 complaining about the noise.
New Jersey officials are working with their counterparts in Delaware to deal with the nuisance, but not everyone dislikes the sound.
Drummer Michael Worrell, who lives in Penns Grove, is more intrigued than anything.
"It doesn't bother me one bit," he said.
Worrell, who is in a band called Undercurrent, said he would love to be invited to the party across the river.
"Whoever is doing it, give us a call," he said.

Items Owned by Tupac Shakur Donated to Temple University
Items owned by Tupac Shakur have been donated to Temple University, including a bullet-dented golden medallion the rapper was wearing in 1994 when he was shot five times.
The rapper's items will be on display at the school's main campus at the Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection. The collection consists of roughly 500,000 items detailing "the global black experience."
"For a hip-hop head, this is truly a dream come true," said Aaron Smith, a professor of Africology and African American Studies who teaches a Shakur-focused class at Temple.
About a dozen items that belonged to Shakur were donated to the collection by Runnemede, New Jersey-based Goldin Auctions. Among the pieces included are handwritten lyrics for famous tracks like "It Ain't Easy" and "I Ain't Mad At Cha," as well as handwritten track listings for unreleased albums Shakur was working on before his death in September 1996 from a still-unsolved drive-by shooting
Also included in the donation is the diamond earing Shakur wore while pictured on the cover of the album "All Eyez On Me."
Jewelry plays a significant role in Shakur's story, according to Smith.
"There is a lot of mystery around Tupac and his jewelry," Smith said. "To have some of (it) here means a whole lot."
Diane Turner, the collection's curator, said Thursday that the Blockson Collection will increase its focus on hip-hop culture with the addition of Shakur's items.
"This is just the beginning of a long journey to collect and preserve hip-hop culture," Turner said.
