These Days Leave Me Hopelessly Lugubrious
There's a 7 foot tall inflated rat with red scary eyes and claws looming over Route 17. He's menacing the small stretch between the shopping center with the Panera in it and the Exon where I used to go to get string cheese. He's also sort of in front of a new something being built.
His purpose is completely unclear. Is he scaring people away from the construction site? Is the new building to be a Halloween shop? Is the Exon... evil?
I don't think any of us will ever know for sure, except perhaps the secret society of dastardly ne'er-do-wells who inflated him and placed him en route to my daily mid-day break from work (note to shoe designers: toe cleavage = not attractive! Please modify for next season so I can buy some cheap flats.)

In front of something being built, it's almost certainly an inflatable union rat, meant to call attention to a firm using non-union labor on their jobsite.
Wow! You totally win the cheese basket! That's awesome! Thanks for the 411!
This being Jersey, I'm surprised that they don't use more, shall we say, organized methods of protest...
No prob. You're right, though - they probably just don't have any fresh concrete currently available.
