Here in Montclair Center we want and need a supermarket really badly. I was thrilled when I first watched Mr. Placek on a ZOOM meeting in March 2021 clearly state that "priority #1 is a grocery store". That was before I knew that Mr. Placek was not actually a developer, having not developed ...
Several months ago, Montclair Democrat County Chairman and Freeholder-at-Large Brendan Gill authored an op-ed touting Essex County’s new voting machines which he says feature a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT). I replied by pointing out that despite the new system, 12 Republican votes ...

In taking a strong stand against puppy mill cruelty, Montclair may soon join the growing list of localities across New Jersey and the nation that have enacted humane pet store ordinances. By doing so, Montclair will ensure that terrified, stressed, likely-to-be-sick, weeks old puppies aren’t ...
To the editor, I am writing in response to Mr. Morton's letter of October 8. The points made in this letter are largely "beside the point." The primary issue driving the hundreds of pet shop bans across the country is the conditions under which the USDA allows dogs to be bred and poor ...
It is with great concern that we recently learned that members of the Montclair Council intend to introduce Ordinance 22-26 this week to ban the sale of dogs in pet stores. Your elected officials are utilizing misinformation and emotion in an effort to remove consumer choice and drive all dog ...

Hi, everyone, I just wanted to share a surprisingly easy way to get rid of a lot of bugs in the yard in case you hate them like I do. 1. Get some yellow containers or some random colored containers and some yellow duct tape. 2. Put a couple little food scraps inside that will rot and smell ...
The historic East Orange Dental Arts building on the corner of N. Clinton and Dr. MLK Drive is collapsing and I wonder if it is intentional. Did you know?: 448 Dr. MLK Drive is the site of the first Black-owned dentist office in New Jersey and opened by Dr. Walter Gilbert-Alexander DDS. He was ...
The statistics about guns deaths in the US are outrageous. We all know and are appalled by our inability as a nation to protect ourselves from this scourge. I don’t want to repeat what every American and every person around the world wonders- Why can America not reduce the thousands of gun ...
