Dear Editor: Coming your way! 250 more bikes in Hoboken via Hudson Bike share. But to date—no rules and regulations as to bike etiquette. Like—must stop at red lights, stop signs, pedestrian crossings; walk your bike areas; no bikes on sidewalks;. Bike safety equipment—helmets, front light, rear reflectors, horn or bell. Bikers should use bike …

Hatcheries that annually supply 200 million female hens for U.S. egg production, including cage-free, also kill the same number of male chicks at birth by grinding them up alive in …
Dear Editor: On Wednesday, September 30th, there are three exciting events going on in Hoboken in which I wanted to participate – the Hoboken Reporter Candidate Forum at 11a.m. (Wards 1, 2 and 3, taped for later public viewing), the Quality of Life Coalition Candidate Forum at the Elks Lodge at 7 (Wards 2, 5 …
Dear Editor: A wise person once wrote “there are no Republican or Democratic ways to pick up garbage” – a good idea is a good idea regardless of it’s author.
