Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Health Department reminds you that some vacation memories are better left behind – bed bugs, for example. Consumer Reports’ experts explain simple ways to check for signs of bed bugs in your hotel room and what to do if you spot them. With thousands of travelers passing through their doors, it’s inevitable that hotel rooms are prone to bed bug infestations. Even luxury hotels are susceptible to these unwelcome guests. To protect yourself from infestation, you should always check for bed bugs in hotel rooms.
When you enter a room, don’t unpack. Bring your luggage to a clean bathtub or a rack that will keep it off the floor until you have inspected the room.

Garden State Initiative’s president Regina Egea
Ridgewood NJ, While it news reports indicate that Phil Simms and Jon Bon Jovi are selling their high-priced, high-taxed New Jersey homes, possibly at deep-discounts, Garden State Initiative’s president Regina Egea recently authored on op-ed on how a crash of high-end real estate in Connecticut could be spreading to NJ – and what that means for Garden State taxpayers.
The Garden State Initiative is dedicated to making New Jersey a place where families and businesses can thrive. We are a nonpartisan research and educational organization that offers practical free-market solutions to the state and local challenges facing New Jersey.
A recent Wall Street Journal report “Wealthy Greenwich Home Sellers Give in to Market Reality” on Connecticut’s real estate market should engender concern by all New Jersey residents.

Ridgewood NJ, this is being reported on many Ridgewood related Facebook pages, “One of my neighbors asked me to share this news. Their car was stolen last night from their driveway on Woodside Avenue. The car was parked around 9:40 pm last night near their garage. The end of their driveway was blocked by their other car. The car was not locked but the key was not inside. Somehow the thief was able to start the car and reverse it over their front yard since the driveway was blocked.
Please be sure to lock your cars. And do not leave anything valuable in your cars. Stay safe!”

Ridgewood NJ, When you go shopping for school supplies, please consider buying a few extra items for Social Service Association of Ridgewood and Vicinity (SSA). My son Alexander and his friend Donovan are holding a school supply drive in order to help students in our local community who are in need. Currently, SSA assists 165 school aged children who live in Glen Rock, HoHoKus, Midland Park, Ridgewood, Waldwick and Wyckoff, and the majority will not have the necessary supplies to start the school year. Please consider buying some items from this list and donating them to the SSA School Supply Drive.
“This is beyond ridiculous. FSH has taken hostage a whole state . The market should decide who can buy a house where. Government should not interfere here and neither should a ghost organisation such as FSH. If you can’t afford to live in RW go live in Waldwick or some other area that suits you. I would love to live in Saddle River but can’t afford so I found a place I could afford in RW. This kind of policy is destroying all the nice and beautiful suburbs in NJ. I just can’t get why FSH has so much power and why residents have no say in this but are threatened into submission. The only mayors who are vocal about this craziness are Scotch Plains and Englewood Cliffs. These guys have balls and speak for their constituents.
And yes all the new structures being built across the area are from the same exact set of drawings. They look like correction facilities.”
