Must-reads for this weekend!

Our print editions — whose articles will also appear right on this page starting Sunday — have several scoops and articles that everyone will be talking about, including news about Eli Manning and an update on the 867-5309 sale. Here’s a little preview:

>What has Hoboken resident and NY Giants Quarterback Eli Manning been doing in the off-season? Apparently, he’s reuniting people with their long-lost siblings…inadvertently!
>You’ve heard about the Weehawken DJ who tried to sell his number, 867-5309. But how come he seems to be waiting for the sale — if not the call — to be completed?
>A Hoboken man pledged when he was laid off that he wouldn’t shave his beard until he got an interview. It looks pretty scraggly.
>Updates on several investigations and administrative hearings in Hoboken, including the Hoboken SWAT team.
>With such a need for affordable housing in Hudson County, why has the Jersey City Housing Authority held off on filling more than 80 empty public housing units in one complex?
>The North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue squad fights fires in North Bergen, Weehawken, Union City, West New York, and Guttenberg, but an NAACP suit has blocked their ability to hire new residents, complaining that they only hire from within their own towns. However, last week, the NHRFR said they plan to appeal the hiring freeze.
>A former Union City resident has been nominated for sainthood. No, it’s not Bob Menendez.
