I've lived in New Jersey for more than 40 years, but I'll never be a real New Jersey girl. I grew up in Pennsylvania where there was lots of snow, one traffic light in town, and 90 kids in my grade--from kindergarten through graduation. I didn't know anything about The Shore, or baked ziti, or Chanukah until I came to Jersey. But, I've come to love all of that and much more--especially the history. I now know about the Jersey Dutch, strawberry baskets, railroad suburbs, the bridge that saved a nation, and so much more. I've learned that to tell the local stories about regular people I need to read wills, estate files, census records, pension applications, letters, tombstones, newspapers, and anything else I can find. So, that's some of what I want to share with you!

Save the Naugle House--Again

The Borough of Fair Lawn owns the historic Naugle house.  However, they are not showing any inclination to respect or save it.  Would you put off this basic maintenance?  Even though it's an historic house, there is no excuse for hanging, deteriorating shutters, vines climbing the house, broken downspouts, and gutters full of leaves and growing trees.
