Ridgewood NJ, At the Village Council meeting last night October 23, Rev. Lemuel Brown from the Mount Bethel Baptist Church on Broad Street spoke.  He stated that he had the “very esteemed honor” to visit the Kensington facility in Falls Church, Virginia.  He said he was contacted by them, and they drove him around and they all went to lunch and quite by chance they met the mayor and a councilman (quite by chance, bulls–t).  He didn’t actually say that they paid for his trip (or maybe they paid him to speak?) but it sure sounded like it.   Rev. Brown came to the council meeting to sing the glories of Kensington.

Ridgewood NJ, this winter the Village of Ridgewood will replace its traditional meters with eighty-five new smart parking kiosks and parkers will bear the burden as the village evaluates different ways to fund the kiosks and the Hudson Street parking garage currently under construction.
