Ridgewood NJ, so let’s see how the “new” council is doing so far:

Bingo, it disappears from the website.

“Stuck In The Middle With You”

Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right

And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
