County Route 535 (New Jersey)

County Route 535, abbreviated CR 535, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 31.75 miles (51.10 km) from Logan Avenue (where it becomes Mercer County Route 635), at the boundary between Trenton and Hamilton Township in Mercer County to the intersection of Main Street, Raritan Street and Washington Road in Sayreville in Middlesex County.

The road serves as the main street through the small communities of Cranbury, South River and Sayreville, while also passing through rural areas on the outskirts of Mercer and southern Middlesex Counties. At various points, it is locally known as East State Street, Edinburg Road, Old Trenton Road, Cranbury-South River Road, Main Street and Washington Road.

Route description

The designation of CR 535 picks up East State Street at the Trenton city line and heads northeast into the Bromley neighborhood of Hamilton. It parallels the Northeast Corridor line between both municipalities' respective train stations before abruptly turning southeast at 1.9 miles (3.1 km), an intersection with Klockner Road. Now the East State Street Extension, CR 535 meets Interstate 295 with limited access at Exit 64. Traffic traveling "southbound" on CR 535 (traveling geographically north for this brief stretch) has a ramp leading to I-295 North toward US 1 and I-95, while southbound traffic on the freeway can exit onto CR 535 North. From here, CR 535 continues toward Nottingham Avenue, and turns left at 3.29 miles (5.29 km), a few hundred feet east of where Route 33 merges onto Nottingham. CR 535 stays on this road for just 0.13 miles (0.21 km) before reaching a five-way intersection with Route 533 (Quakerbridge Road north of the intersection/White Horse-Mercerville Road south of it) and Nottingham, which is Route 618 as it travels southeast away from the intersection toward Hamilton Square.

Livingston (basketball)

Livingston was a professional basketball team based in Livingston, Scotland, founded in 1977 as Edinburgh by steel magnate David Murray and backed by sponsorship from his company Murray International Metals. Using the name Murray International or MIM Livingston, they went on to be one of the most successful clubs in Scottish basketball, playing first in Edinburgh and then later moving to Livingston.

During the height of its success, Livingston were crowned as Scottish National League Champions seven times between 1979 and 1987. The club were founder members of the British Basketball League, a professional league established in 1987 by leading clubs from England and Scotland. Playing out of the newly built 3,000-seat Forum Arena, Livingston were incredibly successful in their inaugural season and following an 81–72 victory over regular season Champions Portsmouth, were crowned winners of the first Carlsberg League Championship Final. The following year, Murray had acquired Rangers F.C. football team and sought about expanding his new acquisition and forming a 'sporting club' by purchasing Carlsberg League rivals Kingston for £100,000 and moving them to Glasgow. The Glasgow Rangers basketball team made their first appearance alongside Livingston in the 1988–89 season, becoming the league's second Scottish representatives. Under the guidance of Coach Kevin Cadle, Rangers dominated the campaign and claimed an impressive trophy haul, pipping Livingston to the regular season title and then beating them in the Final of the Championship Play-offs, winning 89–86. Livingston also finished as Runners-up in the NatWest League Trophy, losing 89–81 to Bracknell in the Final.
