Before Hollywood Took Over, This New Jersey Town Was Making Movies And Inventing The Cliffhanger

Some film historians trace the term ‘cliffhanger’ to the dramatic silent-film serials shot along New Jersey’s Palisades. Silent-film star Pearl White helped make those rocky cliffs famous through her daring screen adventures in the 1910s. That’s the detail I can’t get over. Audiences left theaters wondering if...

Jim Messina helped launch Kenny Loggins. Now he’s playing in Wayne

When Kenny Loggins arrived at Jim Messina’s home, he had shaggy hair, a scruffy beard and braces on his teeth. He had come to play music and hadn’t even brought a guitar. Messina, already a veteran of Buffalo Springfield and Poco , thought someone was playing a joke on him. “I’m wondering, am I being put on here? I wasn’t sure what was going on,” he said in a recent phone interview. He lent the visitor a guitar and recorded his songs. Loggins later told Messina that he did own a guitar that night. But he was embarrassed to bring the old thing along. Still, Loggins had an impressive voice. There was more here to work with than that first impression suggested, Messina thought. He decided to help Loggins assemble a band. He helped arrange the music. He would prepare the young songwriter for a career and produce his first album. Then he’d get back to producing other people. Instead, he became half of Loggins and Messina. It was an unexpected turn in a musical life that had already put him in the studio with Neil Young and Stephen Stills and on stage with Poco. The man who co-wrote “Your

Madam C.J. Walker: How a St. Louis Washerwoman Built a Hair Care Empire

In 1900, the US census listed Sarah Breedlove as a laundress in St. Louis, a job that sometimes paid her as little as $1 a day (National Archives). Less than two decades later, as Madam C.J. Walker, she ran a hair care company with thousands of sales agents, lived in a Hudson Valley mansion designed by a Black architect, and was described at her death as the richest Black woman in the world (Indiana Historical Society, Snopes, citing the New York Age).

Looking back: West Milford 40 years ago

Plans to demolish an existing A & P supermarket building in the Union Valley Road, Hewitt eight-acre “West Milford Shopping Center” with a new company store replacement were announced in 1996. The new building was completed and approved for occupancy by Township of West Milford officials, many of whom attended the Grand Opening in 1999. This was the third time an A&P supermarket was located in the township. In the late 1920s, the store was in a small building on Greenwood Lake Turnpike overlooking the south shore of Greenwood Lake. The second market location was in a new A&P building on Union Valley Road across from Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. That building was demolished and replaced by the existing building. The business finally closed when the A&P Company liquidated all locations in 2015. Cosmos, the latest of a couple of other unsuccessful supermarket chains in the existing building failed to attract enough customers for profit.

Joshua Henry Can Fill a Broadway Theater But Cherishes Jam Sessions at His Montclair Barbershop

Before his powerhouse phrasing of a Ragtime verse was going viral; before he was belting Whitney Houston at the Met Gala; before learning, roughly 15 hours later, that he’d earned his fourth Tony nomination (culminating, weeks later, in his first win); before Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was singing his praises for the TIME100 Next list; before Montclair Film began making a documentary about this whirlwind year of his life, Joshua Henry was a music-mad kid in Miami who fell asleep each night to hymns or R&B on his family’s cassettes, who salvaged his dad’s dusty guitar from the garage, and who assembled a slew of cover bands with his older brother.
