Hawthorne NJ, Several Hawthorne Police units were dispatched in connection with a Sunday afternoon, 03/22, 911 telephone call reporting a “disturbance” at the Jembro Store, 111 Wagaraw Road, Hawthorne. Arriving officers quickly determined that the “disturbance,” verbal in nature only, was resultant from a misunderstanding between a manager and employee, with no police action required. However, officers noted that the Jembro Store, and another store in the same strip mall, were both open in direct violation of NJ Governor Phil Murphy’s “essential retail businesses only” proclamation. Police ordered both stores to be vacated and closed immediately. No summonses were issued.

Ridgewood NJ, The Daily Treat had to close their doors because there were not enough “pick-up” orders to make ends meet. All the wait staff, the kitchen staff, out of work for now. This is one of a million sad stories. If we all stay in quarantine, and we all follow the rules, hopefully all our local businesses can be back soon. Meanwhile if you feel so inclined, the DT has an email address and you can write to John to wish him the best during this difficult time. A kind word can go a long way. [email protected]
