Dear Editor: On a recent cold, icy Friday night we were welcomed into the warm and friendly environment of Hoboken Catholic Academy’s International Night. It was a festival celebrating cultures and heritages through information and delicious food. The parents and extended families of the students, as well as the students themselves proudly displayed their native …
Dear Editor: I believe that the road surface of Observer Highway is in unacceptably poor condition.
