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.

Somerville library controversy takes another twist

SOMERVILLE - The Somerset County Library System is pushing back on a claim by Mayor Brian Gallagher that it engaged in a "false narrative" about the closing of the Somerville branch. In a statement, the Library System said it had "prioritized transparent and direct communication" throughout the process and had created a webpage to keep residents informed about the situation. The Library System also said that the decision to close the facility on West End Avenue next to Borough Hall on July 31 was "not driven solely by environmental health concerns" but also because it was "functionally inadequate for delivering services" since the closing of the lower level in August 2025. "The situation extends well beyond the presence or remediation of mold," according to the statement. "I'm not going to get into a verbal contest with them," Gallagher said, adding he was looking forward to "re-engaging" with Library System officials after Nov. 30. "We believe that building should be ready for reoccupation shortly," Gallagher said at the Nov. 2 Borough Council meeting, adding, "not that there was anything wrong with it to begin with." Earlier: Somerville library could reopen soon after months-long closure Peter Bromberg is retiring as executive director

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?

25 Famous Comedians You Didn’t Know Were From Upstate New York

New York City has long been one of America’s great comedy capitals, from earlier vaudeville theaters to Manhattan’s stand-up clubs and television studios. But some of the people who helped define American comedy came from places well beyond the five boroughs. Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Jamestown, Saratoga Springs, and the smaller towns of Upstate New York have their own connections to late-night television, sketch comedy, sitcoms, stand-up, and comic writing.

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks. The Hudson was both a transportation route and a source of wealth. Land, agriculture, river commerce, and the labor of enslaved people and tenant farmers helped sustain the households that later became known for their imposing mansions.
