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, ...
We’ve all experienced the increase of e-micromobilty on our streets and we’ve come to rely on it in our daily lives. During COVID, delivery people were hailed as essential workers, delivering food directly to our door, often via e-bike. There are challenges with these new modes of transportation ...
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 ...

The impacts of climate change touch every sector and person on our planet. It is an issue that seems impossible to solve, especially if you do not see the solutions in action. After working in government and participating at the United Nations for more than a decade, I’ve seen a major shift in the ...
Growing up in Jersey City, I did not go to Liberty State Park often because, where I lived in Greenville, it was a walk and there was not a lot to do there. It had beautiful grass, which is wonderful, and the water, but you go there and then you have the long walk back home. It truly wasn’t safe ...
The Jersey City school system alone holds over 30,000 kids. 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. As the Ferris ...
I am not fan of the new baseball rules. Bigger bases. Banning defensive shift. Pitchers clock. Ghost runner in extra innings. Hell, I even STILL hate the DH. I have “sorta” accepted inter league play. Why did Baseball czars make the change? To make the games shorter. That’s it. To save time.

Dear Democrat Friend, We are writing to express our confusion over why you want to eliminate, or further curtail, the 2nd Amendment. You have argued that children even in single digits can change sex, that whether they are a boy or girl depends on their feelings, and that at tender ages they can ...
On May 25, 2020, for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, Derek Chauvin senselessly killed George Floyd. This murder coincided with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a dark time for America with an unknown virus that would kill over one million people in America and three million people ...
