Sealfons-rendering

“how the builders got away with this misnamed group is beyond me. this fairshare is nothing but builders seeking to override local zoning for thei r own profits. they are coming in and desrtroying open space that we had saved for the nature that will save our lives. the trees go down, the animals have no place to live. teh birds cant sing anymore. it is horrible. we need to stop letting groups call themselves misnames. the judges in nj seem to not get it. this affordabe housing assault on towns is in teh fourth assault on towns or is it more than that. they will go on into eternity. they have no intention of ever stopping. there will be the tenth assault unless we get this changed now. stop the affordable housing assault on towns and on us. its against all of us. we are into more congestion when nj is already the most congested states in this union. we just are running out of room.”

Ridgewood NJ, Boyd Loving pointed out on the “it takes Village “Facebook page that on the hottest day of the year ,” Access to both parking lots at The Stable, 259 North Maple Avenue, was blocked on Sunday, 07/21, by order of Ridgewood’s Parks & Recreation Department. Users of the adjacent Skate Park and deep end of Graydon Pool were forced to park elsewhere. Does anyone know if this policy will be in effect on Saturdays as well, and extend into the remaining weekends of the Summer? Also, was the Village Council notified of the planned “inconvenience to taxpayers” factor?”

The Stable was closed and Graydon had adequate staff , perhaps Parks and Rec can enlighten ?

Ridgewood NJ, the Gap Inc. announced Thursday that it plans to shutter approximately 230 stores in the next two years. Last year, the San Francisco-based corporation had a total of 725 specialty stores (excluding those in China), and this week, the company revealed it saw a 5 percent decrease in the brand’s global sales, according to its 2018 earnings report.

Gap Inc. has yet to finalize its list of stores that will close. It appears that the Ridgewood Gap has made the list, the store appears to be holding final sales and ready for shuttering .

Lets face it the GAP has not been cool since 1980 and its non descript clothing is easy to buy on the internet. Given New Jersey aggressively anti business governor and legislator its easy to see how New Jersey may bear the brunt of GAP closings.
