Princeton Shrinks Harrison Street Plan to One Roundabout, Keeps $7M Price Tag

Rosedale Rd. & General Johnson Dr. — Approximate Local Roundabout Comparison. Princeton Council voted 5-0 Monday to approve a scaled-back version of the North Harrison Street Improvement Project, trimming a plan that once called for three roundabouts down to just one. The $7 million project, aimed at the stretch near Terhune Road, now moves forward with a single-lane roundabout, new pedestrian crossings, ADA ramps and a widened shared-use path meant to keep cyclists out of the circular intersection entirely.

This New Jersey Museum Holds the World’s Largest Collection of Soviet Nonconformist Art

Yet that is where economist Norton Dodge bought Lev Kropivnitsky’s Outer Galactic Logic in 1962, beginning a collecting mission that eventually brought thousands of works to Rutgers. Today, the Zimmerli Art...

Adubato pitches softballs at political dinosaur: Elizabeth Mayor J. Christian Bollwage

Steve Adubato sat across from J. Christian Bollwage and lobbed softballs at a mayor whose 33-year tenure has been defined by vanity, corruption, and a stunning betrayal of the working-class tenants who put him in office. The veteran broadcaster, whose program “CommUNITY MATTERS” purports to examine pressing urban issues, delivered...

Readington school board pulls ‘Perks’ from middle school library

READINGTON – In an issue that has roiled the school district for much of this year , the Board of Education has voted to remove “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” from the middle school library. The board’s Nov. 10 vote came after an hour of public comment in which only two of more than 20 speakers supported removing the book. After each speaker opposing the removal spoke, the audience packed into the Holland Brook School cafeteria broke into loud and sustained applause. The two speakers who favored removing the book were met with silence. The vote was 4-3, with one abstention from Paulo Lopes, who originally objected to the young adult novel and brought his complaint to the board, triggering the review process. Lopes, who lost his bid for reelection Nov. 3, alleged that a scene in the novel describing sexual assault “fails to show accountability or victim support, potentially misleading readers.” Anna Barton, Pamela Cassidy and Elizabeth Fiore voted against removing the book. David Rizza, Justina Ryan, Linda Rad and Ellen DePinto voted in favor of removal. Richard Pieros was absent. Why the Readington school board removed ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ Board members favoring removal said

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?
