Terrell Homes, originally named FDR Apartments after our wartime president, was built in 1946 as U.S. Army barracks and later renamed in honor of its tenant and apartment manager, Millard E. Terrell. At the time, the East Ward neighborhood, along the Passaic River, was brimming with a large, ...
Two years ago, after being checked for an enlarged prostate, my urologist told me he had good and bad news. After extensive tests and a biopsy, I was pronounced cancer free which was really good news. The bad news was that I was the only one of his patients that month who did not have ...

A large percentage of them are economically disadvantaged and, unfortunately, there isn’t enough space in Jersey City for all the kids we have and not enough fields to give them the recreational opportunities they deserve.
