Dear Editor: Not to start an argument with Mr. Faria, but some thoughts have been prompted by his letter. Saying that Hoboken had 70,000 residents in 1910, as opposed to its present 40,000, is supposed to mean what? That with our present abilities to build higher and move traffic, that we should be able to …
Dear Editor: I am a mother of five children and a grandmother of nine. I am very much concerned about these children carrying all these books in their book bags on their backs, that it could affect their bones in the back and neck in the future. I went to pick up my grandson from …
Dear Editor: Robert DeRuggiero, whose little realty sign stood forlorn on the narrow industrial lot at 1600 Park for ever so long, begging for a buyer, charges that the vigorous citizens’ movement opposing his new client’s plan to jam an 18-story blockbuster between the Park and Willow viaducts is just a gaggle of silly chickens, …

Both concerns …
Dear Editor: We, the Madison Street Neighborhood Watch, are asking for your help. Recently, there has been a series of car break-ins in the area of Madison Street between First and Third Streets. You may have seen the evidence left behind: the shattered windows of parked cars and pools of broken glass next to sidewalks. …
Dear Editor: I am writing this letter to thank all of those faithful crossing guards (lady cops in the local vernacular) who each day take such great care of our children.

Dear Editor: We are writing this letter to publicly thank Frank Sasso, Health Officer. His warmth and insight guided us through some very tough times due to our neighbor’s construction mishaps. His clarification of the laws, and knowledge of every scientific and logistic aspect of our concerns and our situation was invaluable. We are incredibly …
Dear Editor: Here we are into a new millennium and this guy who calls himself T. Weed is saying bad things about me. You don’t even know me, so how can you say bad things about me. There is a law out there that says you can’t smoke pot, but then you tell your readers …
