Dear Editor: As much as I would like State Senator Brian P. Stack to continue representing my district, I am happy that he is going to have a portion of Jersey City. This will benefit him in his political career because more people will get to know him. This means more voters county wide will …
Dear Editor: I went to Carlo’s Bakery recently to get some cookies for my block association meeting and I was told I had to stand in line behind a bunch of tourists to get my box of cookies. I asked to see the bouncer and he asked if I was from Hoboken. When I told …
