This New Jersey Grocery Store Is Worth Visiting For Its Holiday Selection

A grocery store with hundreds of ready-to-eat options sounds like a dare. One New Jersey market takes that dare seriously, especially when the holidays roll around. I’m all for trips that make you giggle before you even park. Grown-ups need that more than they admit. To me, that grin...

Waldwick/MP wins the day(s)

WALDWICK – “Win the Day.” That’s what Waldwick/Midland Park football lives by and what it is trying to accomplish everyday. It was just last year that Waldwick/Midland Park lost to Glen Rock in the first round of the state sectional football playoffs. The Warriors finished with a 6-4 record, but showed promise towards the end of the regular season finishing with five straight wins to grab a playoff berth. And, they returned most of their young core this season.

29-33 Lackawanna Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed Apartment Project. Woodland Park’s Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 6-1, with one member abstaining, to deny a proposal that would have combined four properties at 29-33 Lackawanna Avenue into a three-story building with 12 apartments, a 730-square-foot commercial space, and parking.

NJ's best elementary school has lessons for all of us | Opinion

This year, School No. 28 in Paterson earned impressive recognition in U.S. News & World Report ’s 2026–2027 rankings, named the No. 1 public elementary school and No. 2 public middle school in New Jersey. This outstanding achievement reflects the talent, dedication, and hard work of Principal Nancy Castro, the school’s teachers, administrators, educational support professionals, students and families. It is a milestone worth celebrating across the Paterson community and our state. But beyond the rankings and well-deserved applause, there is a larger story worth telling about the children of Paterson. For far too long, conversations about urban education have centered on what our communities lack rather than the extraordinary potential that exists within them. Those challenges cannot and should not be ignored, but neither should they define the limits of what we believe our children can accomplish. Academic excellence does not belong exclusively to affluent communities, prestigious institutions, or particular ZIP codes. Talent exists everywhere. What differs too often is access to opportunity, encouragement, resources and support. School No. 28 has reminded us that Paterson's children are brilliant, capable, and deserving of every opportunity to succeed. Op-ed continues after gallery. This achievement should inspire more than a moment of

Paterson plans to ban e-bikes from certain areas and fine offenders

PATERSON — Electric bicycles and scooters would be banned from operating on Paterson sidewalks under an ordinance that received preliminary approval from the City Council on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The prohibition also would cover walking paths in municipal parks. The ordinance said it is targeting people who operate the electric vehicles “in a heedless, willful, or wanton manner that creates an unreasonable risk of injury to any person or damage to property.” Moreover, the ordinance would regulate parking e-bikes and scooters on sidewalks, requiring that the vehicles leave at least three feet for pedestrians to pass. The fine for a first offense would be a maximum of $100. The penalty would grow to $250 for a second infraction within 12 months and $500 for a third. Story continues below photo gallery But the ordinance includes a 90-day “education” period during which police officers would issue written warnings instead of summonses. State law already regulates “reckless or careless operation” of electric vehicles, the ordinance noted.
