Dear Editor: Now that we’ve made it through the holidays and survived Y2K, it’s time to get back to thinking about what’s going on here in our fair city. Although the year is only a few weeks old, there have been quite a lot of really dumb things going on, and they deserve to be …
Dear Editor: As your many articles over the last few weeks have pointed out, there has been a great deal of controversy lately over the changes to the publicly approved plans for the automated parking garage currently under construction at 916 Garden Street.

Dear Editor: The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Or is it? There have been many pros and cons spoken lately about the proposed project slated for 1600 Park Avenue in Hoboken.

Dear Editor: In the 200 plus years that our country has been in existence, a lot of people have died fighting for our freedom. Our ability to be militarily ready is and should be of great importance to every American. So it is ridiculous to me to hear our local politicians demand that the American …
Dear Editor: Citizens of Hudson County beware! Your precious and irreplaceable urban open space is under attack, and by none other than an undoubtedly sincere but misguided and overzealous Board of Education together and the township of North Bergen! It seems that as a lesson in preserving open space, protecting the environment as well as …
Dear Editor: It is very nice and proper that the Hoboken schools honor Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. He was a true hero. I have noticed every time we ask the schools in Hoboken to participate in the annual Memorial Day Parade, some of them half-heartedly do. But I do think our deceased veterans …

Dear Editor: I want to say thank you to all the merchants and commercial property owners on Washington Street who do a magnificent job dressing up their storefronts for the holidays. Of particular note is the magical winter wonderland lovingly created every year by the Musarra family in Dr. Musarra’s storefront window at 233 Washington …
