Please stop this bullshit, Glenrock is beautiful Wyckoff, Allendale, Hohokus.
Agree, we can only have bad and depressing news..
Ridgewood lawns are deplorable! Brown, patchy, overgrown with weeds and filled with ticks, baby deer and bees! Reeeeeeeeeeeee!
No, that’s not what I’m saying is. But some people forge the news just like the Board of Education, the women’s group, the Ridgewood knows, the realtor crew, a lot of bullshit. Overrated people think Ridgewood is the best. Just like 20 one magazine come on, a lot of fake news
Even with that no mo/slow mo may rule?
Ridgewood is overrated, the taxes are ridiculous, the price of homes are ridiculous, yes the schools are very good and the services are great, but you’re paying for that. You could move to Mahwah and get the same services and taxes are 35% cheaper and they have, great schools great service, so that’s that
haha mahwah… aka ‘south rockland’. When I get off 17 north on my way to suffern on 202…. is that what your proud of?? all those dumps?
Just wait til Zoning board approves the giant LED billboard for Vagianos and Price, it is gonna make South Rockland look like paradise.
If you actually lived in Ridgewood (not Mahwah) you’d know that Ridgewood’s schools ARE NOT very good and the services ARE NOT great.
There is zero fiscal responsibility. You’ve got Kazmark calling balls and strikes and doesn’t know shit from shinola when it comes to a responsible budget, don’t get me started. Our Village manager. a former mayor, came to Ridgewood as a nepotism plant and now is ruling the roost with nonsensical spending and keeps marching forward with outrageous spending-you thought $60K designer garbage cans hurt. He hasn’t even been here for a year….310 days to be exact and the cash register is ramping up.
Any photos from No-Mow May?
I’ve been waiting 7 years for the town to replace the tree that they removed.
Well you can’t always tell what is really going on or who hasn’t paid their taxes based on their curb appeal or the way they act around town, that is for sure. Except if you know there is a Vagianos sign on the lawn, might indicate a problem.
If you want to be ruled by a bunch of liars like Ridgewood’s municipality, then by all means, move here and be willing to just open your checkbook with wild abandon. However once you look behind the veil, and actually see the wizard of oz isn’t what you had expected and you are paying for nonsense run by a wanna bee village manager who probably will eventually try to run this town (stay tuned for Keith Kazmark’s house warming invitation coming soon to a neighborhood near you). then you might have a whole differing opinion about how things are run and WTF is actually really going on. This council has zero accountability to the residents. We need to rise up and recall Paul, Can Pam, Wipe out Whino and Weitz and start over!
