Ridgewood NJ, at the October 8 Village Council meeting, Village Manager Keith Kazmark publicly stated that only one resident made any inquiry to him (via email) about the Warner Theater project.  We know that Mr Kazmark is a regular reader of THE BLOG, and has even posted on here.  We also know that he is a Facebook addict, posting sometimes multiple times a day. Therefore we QUESTION his statement, as a quick scan of Ridgewood social media shows that tons of residents have posted comments about the theater project – in favor, opposed, questions, all of it.  So, did Mr. Kazmark MISSPEAK when he implied that only one resident had any interest in this expensive project?  Oh, and then he added that “they want to make it controversial on the internet.”   Seriously?

Why Space-Saving Restaurant Chairs Are Essential for Small Dining Areas

In small restaurants, every square foot counts. The layout must balance comfort, efficiency, and style without making the space feel cramped.
