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!

Vanderbeck Hearing today

The proposal to develop the Vanderbeck property with an assisted living facility will be heard on Thursday evening 2/26 at 7 pm at the Fair Lawn Borough Hall.  The proposed developments would have negative community, environmental, and historic effects on the town and on Bergen County.  Come out and make your voice heard or just show up and support those who wish to speak.  This is our chance to make the case to the Zoning Board.
For more information about the proposal see the documents online in dropbox (no login required):https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6slyvvo6m463guc/AADwhfbySFTtzpUOil9jAG8na?dl=0
See you there.  Let's stand up for our community and our heritage.
