Congratulations to Paige and Max on their engagement! These two lovebirds will tie the knot next spring on May 22, 2021 at Greenville Country Club in Wilmington, DE. Thankfully, our talented Engagement Photographers in NJ captured their engagement beautifully.

First, their day began with a stroll around the park! Paige and Max had the cutest outfits on. Paige wore a gorgeous white floral dress with sandals.

Max kissed and held Paige the entire shoot. They’re so adorable together! Afterwards, the duo had more portrait shots taken next to a beautiful fountain. The park setting really made this engagement shoot pop with colors! Our Engagement Photographers in NJ had a lot to work with!

Next, the duo made their way down a set of stairs for a grand kissing shot as they reached the bottom. Then, they took more kissing shots by the park entrance next to two amazing stone statues. The duo looked so happy! Take a look at their photos and see the magic! Now, the duo continued to take portrait shots next to the stone statues and made their way back to the fountain. Here, our Engagement Photographers in NJ captured Paige’s wonderful engagement ring on her finger. Finally, the duo concluded their day with a big sunset kissing shot. Max picked Paige up for a romantic kiss as a light mist blew in unison. Love is really in the air!

Congratulations to Paige and Max on their engagement! Above all, thank you for letting our Engagement Photographers in NJ capture your memorable day out in the park. We can’t wait to capture your wedding next year!

Guidelines for Halloween in New Jersey
By: Jerry Swon
Tags: Halloween, New Jersey, Jerry Swon, Holidays, Pandemic

This year has been anything but normal. As the pandemic continues to unfold well into autumn many families are wondering how Halloween will be celebrated. In New Jersey children who look forward to trick-or-treating can breathe a sigh of relief as the Governor, Phil Murphy, has officially stated that Halloween will not be canceled. Despite the concerns that the coronavirus has caused New Jersey residents will be able to hit the streets for candy.

With that being said, Governor Murphy and the state Department of Health have provided guidelines for the revled holiday. For the families who are choosing to venture out on Halloween weekend the state has asked that masks which cover both the nose and the mouth are worn. Costume masks are not to be considered a replacement for the regular disposable or cloth face masks that are worn in schools and businesses.

Furthermore, officials at the Department of Health have asked that any and all Halloween parties are held either outside while practicing social distancing guidelines or online, on platforms such as Zoom.

For homeowners who wish to pass out treats on Halloween it is suggested that candy is arranged in a way that limits the number of times each treat is touched by children. One idea is to put the treats in their own individual baggies so that the number of little fingers rifling through the same candy dishes is limited. Families who are walking from house to house on Halloween are asked to limit the groups that they travel in to only the members of their own household. People who still want to be able to greet their neighborhood trick or treaters in person should wear masks, stay distanced and wash their hands often.

Of course, besides trick or treating, Halloween is usually the time of year for hayrides and haunted houses. This year, state officials are asking New Jersey residents to avoid attending indoor events such as the typical haunted house and anyone still choosing to host an event is encouraged to stagger the number of visitors by selling tickets early or staggering the allotted number of guests. Hayrides should also limit the number of people per ride.

While the restrictions may make Halloween in New Jersey appear a bit different this year, there are many people who are still looking forward to celebrating this spooky season. Check out what your local area is doing to keep everyone safe and make sure to follow all of the recommended guidelines.

New Jersey Federal Judge’s Son Killed, Husband Injured
Tags: New Jersey, Federal Judge, Judge

A federal judge’s son killed in a pre-sketched plan. Her husband was also shot during the incident at her home in North Brunswick, New Jersey, on Sunday.

NOQ Report

A gunman disguised as a FedEx driver shot and killed the son of a federal judge and wounded her husband, law enforcement confirmed.

U.S. District Judge Esther Salas was not injured in the shooting, which the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and local authorities are investigating. Esther Salas was home at the time of the shooting, although was not injured, said the official.

Daniel Anderl, the judge’s son, was shot and killed in the gunfire and her husband, Mark Anderl, was shot injured, Chief District Judge Freda Wolfson reported on the case.

The F.B.I. office in Newark said on Sunday night that it was looking for “one subject” about the shooting.

Federal judge’s son killed at her residence

The son opened the door to the family’s North Brunswick home at about 5 p.m. was promptly shot, sources related. The judge’s husband was then shot multiple times

Francis “Mac” Womack, the mayor of North Brunswick, said: “He was shot through the heart. The son was a freshman at Catholic University”

A suspect “remains at-large,” a law enforcement official maintained. Prosecutors have a prefatory report that the shootings were carried out by someone dressed as a FedEx driver, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

The mayor said investigators are now working on the case in which the federal judge’s son killed saying “trying to get a hard make on the vehicle” to try and track the suspect.

Federal agents and police officers went door to door on Sunday night interrogating neighbors. Police tape blocked off the front lawn and driveway of the family’s colonial home.

“As a judge, she had threats from time to time, but everyone is saying that recently there had not been any,” said Womack, who is personal friends with the judge and her husband.

Salas is the first Latina to serve on the federal bench in New Jersey.

Senator Robert Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, stated his sorrow in a statement Sunday night.

“I know Judge Salas and her husband well, and was proud to recommend her to President Obama for nomination to New Jersey’s federal bench,” Mr. Menendez said. “My prayers are with Judge Salas and her family, and that those responsible for this horrendous act are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.”

“He’s a very very exuberant, vibrant, one hundred percent pleasant person,” Womack added. “He loves to talk about his wife, and he loves to brag about his son, and how his son would excel in baseball, and how he was doing down in college in Washington … I’m just very sorry to see him going through this.”
Best Gallery Or Museum In New Jersey: Evalyn Dunn Gallery / 2020 American Art Awards

Tags: Awards, Artist, Art, Gallery, New Jersey

American Art Awards: “In 1958, this Dunn family effort was originally created as a casual, local venue for the exhibition, framing and preservation of art — but over the years Evalyn Dunn Gallery has exceeded everyone’s expectations to become a significant world-renowned gallery. When Evalyn Dunn first opened her art gallery in the 1950’s, people marveled at her ability to hold a full time job, run an art gallery and raise a family. Fortunately, her supportive husband, Benjamin, worked with her and consequently Evalyn Dunn Gallery prospered.

“In its 61st year, the east coast treasure showcases the finest 20th Century American and European art, works of acclaimed artists from all countries, including Alvar of Spain, Graciela Rodo Boulanger of Bolivia, Ron Hedrick of Canada and American artists such as Michele Byrne, Jon Friedman, Mary Johnston and Ricardo Roig.”

Other include Stephanie Amato, Antonelle, Apple, Daniel Azoulay, Beatty, Natalia Bessonova, William Bunting, Giovanna Calzolari, Daniel Carvalho, C.M.

Star Ledger‘s Sally Friedman writes: “Both sisters can still remember doing their homework after school in the back area of their parent’s art gallery.”

Today, Jaclyn Civins owns and runs the gallery, and her sister, Amy Walsh, is the marketing director. They fondly recall ambitious mom Evalyn and dad Benjamin importing oil paintings from Europe sixty years ago. As the business has grown and changed locations over the last decades, Civins and Walsh have left their own imprint on a business that honors what their parents began. Due to changing times the gallery has begun to diversify and has expanded to include jewelry, art glass, gifts and religious items.

Jaclyn Civins was voted “Westfield’s Small Business Person of the year for 2018” by Alignable. The gallery was also selected as one of the top galleries in the US by Art Design Consultants.

American Art Awards: “American Art Awards selects Evalyn Dunn Gallery as our Best in New Jersey and one of our Top 25 American Galleries and Museums for 2020.”

City Girl In Ohio
By: Sammy Hess
Tags: New Jersey, Ohio

grew up in the great state of New Jersey and also live in New York. Suddenly I am living in Ohio for the next four years of my college life. As most people I have met all question “Why Ohio”. Well I know I didn’t want to stay in New Jersey for a long time I did think I would end up in New York. I guess I didn’t want to be close to home. I honestly didn’t want to go to college at all. Both of my parents did not go to college so I was pressured. I said if I have to get a job I want to be a cosmetic chemist as I loved playing with makeup and that’s my art. So I did my research and stumbled upon the one and only University of Toledo. I am currently a Chemistry major and enjoying the quiet area. Even though passing cornfield on the way here did give me horror movie vibes, I a am still enjoying Ohio. My favorite part being here is the stars. Back home stars aren’t very clear, but the city lights are. Walking late at night on campus with a friend at two in the morning just looking at the stars as if they were a rare treasure. I do always get as to say coffee as well with my east coast accent. Along with a lot of questions about the Jersey Shore and what its like to have beaches or what New York City is like. I have realized that nothing is open past midnight except the taco bell which is full of college students wanting food after partying. Surprisingly their is much more to Ohio than I thought there was like shop and food that I have never heard of before, and every one looked at me like I am crazy. I do get yelled at for j-walking by my friends very often. If you have ever been to New York, you make the car waiting for you as you take your time crossing the street. I have noticed though Ohio driving is a lot of speeding and no chalant which I guess is why people actually do wait. I always say you can’t take the city out of the girl. I am still an eastcoast girl and love my Jersey Shore.
5 Reasons, Why You Are Not Getting Clients From Your Consulting Website
By: İsmail Alptekin Nj
Tags: Business, Ismail Alptekin, New Jersey, Marketing, Ismail Alptekin Nj

Getting loses in your business and still going on the same strategy will do nothing. It is most likely to worsen the situation and wasting your efforts. This is not the right way to tackle your business problems. Get ready to find the problems and fix them to see the progress.

Do you know what the reason behind losing the clients is? If no, take a look:

5 Reasons For Losing Your Business Sales & Customers

1. Lack Of Business Clarity

You have to be clear about what you are dealing with and exactly what you do. It is not about being super niched down, but it helps express your ability to let others know what you provide them and how you can serve them. Many people think that they have expressed their business via their brand, but it is still hidden and if you jumble, it will end up confusing people.

2. Not Confident & Scares To Take Risks

Some business websites are amazing and their packages are too clear, but when it comes to making a sale they are not confident. They offer less description that does not allow potential clients to deal with you. Be clear and confident about how you can help your clients and how you will turn out to be beneficial to them. Be bold and confident, the right people will come to you automatically.

3. Lack Of Brand Awareness & Relationship

At one point, it does not a matter if no one knows you, but you have to be the best about the product and services what you are selling. Use any mode of brand awareness to establish a successful relationship with your customers, be it is social media, newspaper, pamphlet or any other mode. You have to improve your product and services visibility and to establish a strong business relationship.

4. Poor Sales Strategy

When it comes to selling products and services, a proven strategy is everything to get success. It is really hard to sell your products at a high price when people do not agree to invest in this price. For example, your business success relies on your identity, it means people should know you before they deal with you. The idea here is to make what can help you provide long term success.

5. Alignment

It means not keeping things simple. You need to align what and how you do and who you do this for. Check out your business, is it aligned and clear to its objective. This makes a huge difference in your business success.

Egg Harbor Pitcher earns last-second Rutgers offer during Carpenter Cup title run
By: Philadelphia Phillies
Tags: Baseball, Philadelphia, New Jersey, College, Delaware

Ethan Dodd surprised himself when he pitched his relief inning in the first game of the 2021 Carpenter Cup.

The Egg Harbor Township High School graduate’s fastball usually tops out in the high 80s. He has a curveball and even a knuckleball in the mix as well.

But in the star-studded regional tournament with his Tri-Cape team from South Jersey, Dodd felt his fastball break 90 miles per hour.

Then 91. He even touched 92.

In the stands, an assistant coach from Rutgers University noticed the impressive velocity. He went straight Tri-Cape assistant coach Brian Carmichael. He watched the rest of Dodd’s shutdown inning and made it clear: he wanted Dodd to be a Scarlet Knight in the fall.

“I was just going there to play,” Dodd said. “I didn’t expect any opportunities to come from it. I’m just very blessed.”

The Carpenter Cup is a great opportunity for underclassmen to show off their skills to colleges. But Dodd, a 2021 graduate, had already committed to play at Rowan College of South Jersey at Cumberland, making peace with the idea of not playing Division-I baseball.

Now, he’s set to play in the Big Ten against some of the best talent in the country.

“This doesn’t happen to kids who are graduated,” Carmichael said. “Usually colleges are set up with their kids by then. I told him, ‘This is like a golden ticket for you.’”
GREA (Jason Toncic) v. Glen Rock BOE
By: Nj Decisions
Tags: New Jersey, Teachers, Glen Rock, Jason Toncic, Salary Guide

In a precedent-setting ruling in defense of teachers’ rights, New Jersey arbitrator Susan Wood Osborn decided against a public school district’s claims that it could deny a teacher salary guide movement for graduate-level coursework if those courses were related to pedagogy rather than a specific subject matter.

The claimant, Jason Toncic, argued that his Ph.D. courses in a field of education had been capriciously and unfairly denied approval by the Glen Rock School District. NJEA UniServ representative Roselouise Holz presented the teacher’s case to the state-appointed arbitrator in February 2020.

Jason Toncic had taken courses in Montclair State University’s Teacher Education and Teacher Development Ph.D. program. Toncic had eight graduate-level courses approved by Glen Rock School District, but former Interim Superintendent Bruce Watson and current Superintendent Brett Charleston unexpectedly began to deny his coursework.

Glen Rock Superintendent Brett Charleston argued to the arbitrator that he was not permitted to provide salary guide movement for courses related to “teaching.” The arbitrator dismissed this argument as “not persuasive” in a sweeping 45-page ruling.

This award is an important recognition of teaching as a profession in New Jersey and sets a new standard by which districts should judge requests for horizontal guide movement. The state arbitrator made clear in the binding decision that pedagogy was clearly related to claimant Jason Toncic’s current or future job description. The Glen Rock School District’s argument that they could deny any graduate courses not directly related to content area was rejected.

The State arbitrator further clarified that coursework approvals and denials, in this case, were not preempted N.J.S.A.: 18A:6–8.5 and should be judged based on the district’s contract, noting that there were no substantial differences between the two. As a consequence, school district employees should look to their contract language when appealing for coursework to be approved or denied.

In all, the arbitrator found the five courses that had been denied approval by the Glen Rock School District were unfairly denied. She awarded the claimant Jason Toncic retroactive pay and appropriate salary guide movement.
BREAKING: Major Chemical Leak In Edison, New Jersey

Tags: Edison, Chemical Leak, Titanium Tetrachloride, New Jersey, Hazmat

DEVELOPING: Reports are now coming from the ‘Equister’ Chemicals plant in Edison, New Jersey, of a chemical leak. The plant may be owned by Lyondell Basell Industries, which has a plant in the area, a spokesperson confirmed the company was aware of an incident at a facility, but did not provide details.

Police and fire report a large cloud leaving the facility. The chemical leaked is reported to be ‘Titanium Tetrachloride’, which is “used to make titanium metal and other titanium-containing compounds, such as titanium dioxide, which is used as a white pigment in paints and other products and to produce other chemicals” (CDC).

At least 200+ gallons have leaked and unconfirmed reports say two individuals are injured. The titanium tetrachloride mixed with humidity in the air to form a dangerous cloud; it forms hydrogen chloride which in turn, turns into hydrochloric acid which can cause severe liver and kidney issues.

Evacuations of nearby areas ongoing as some residents are told to shelter-in-place and close all windows and doors.

The toxic cloud from this HazMat incident in Edison, New Jersey is now heading East towards Woodbridge, according to the fire department. Next it could possibly move to Tottenville, Staten Island.

UPDATE: Police now say that the chemical incident is now over and “deemed” safe in Edison, New Jersey, and residents do not need to keep their windows and doors closed and may turn on their air conditioners.

The Righteous Brothers LIVE! at BergenPAC

By Spotlight Central. Photos by Love Imagery

It’s just 17 minutes before showtime inside Englewood, NJ’s beautiful BergenPAC auditorium this Thursday, July 11, 2019 evening. The packed house is getting ready for a rare East Coast appearance by Bill Medley and Bucky Heard, also known as The Righteous Brothers.

As we wait for the show to start, we chat with several fans in the audience including Mick from Queens who says, “I’ve been a fan of the group since the 1960s when it featured original members Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. To me, The Righteous Brothers have always epitomized the concept of ‘blue-eyed soul,’ so I can’t wait to hear how they sound live — especially here at BergenPAC, which is an extraordinary place to hear live music.”

Lisa from Bergenfield agrees adding, “Bergen PAC recently held a contest on Facebook. To win, you had to write down why you would want tickets to tonight’s show, so I borrowed a line from The Righteous Brothers’ song, ‘You Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, and wrote ‘I’d get down on my knees for tickets.’ And guess what? I won two of them!”

Explaining, “I like all kinds of music, but I had older brothers and sisters who listened to The Righteous Brothers — I can even remember playing their LPs on our family record player with the automatic drop!” Lisa concludes by declaring, “I’m so glad to be here tonight seeing the group in this theater; it has a real small town feel to it.”

Lastly, we chat with Susan from Allendale who says, “I’m a long-time fan of The Righteous Brothers — since the 1960s. I remember American Bandstand, The Everly Brothers — the whole era of the ’60s — and The Righteous Brothers were one of my favorite groups.”
“Better Than Excellent!” Rob Thomas LIVE! at BergenPAC

By Spotlight Central. Photos by Love Imagery

Crowds are lined up on this Wednesday, July 16, 2019 evening at BergenPAC in Englewood, NJ for a live concert appearance by singer/songwriter Rob Thomas. Best known as the singer of Matchbox Twenty, Thomas is also a leading solo artist who won three Grammy Awards for writing and singing on Santana’s 1999 smash, “Smooth.”

In the lobby, we chat with a family of four Rob Thomas fans from Little Falls.

Says Mom Adriana, “We first saw Rob Thomas perform with Matchbox Twenty. I love him and his music! I’ve never really been a hard rock fan, but his music with Matchbox Twenty is a little edgy which I really enjoy, and I love his solo work, too.”

Continuing, “He has a great voice — and he’s cute,” Adriana recounts, “I play his music all the time at home and in the car, so my girls know it. They’re real concertgoers. We see a lot of different kinds of music, and we really love coming to this theater.”

Dad Harold agrees adding, “I’m actually a metalhead, but I like Rob Thomas,” noting, “As a family, we see a lot of live music, and we especially like coming to BergenPAC — we’ve always been able to get good seats to shows here.”

Whereas daughter Emilia, 16, tells us she likes all different Rob Thomas songs, Gabriella, 8, says she prefers his “slower songs,” acknowledging her hope that Thomas performs Matchbox Twenty’s hit, “Unwell,” tonight.

Inside the beautiful BergenPAC auditorium we chat with two friends, here tonight to share an evening of Rob Thomas’ music.

Declares Alison from Paramus, “I’m Rob Thomas’ #1 fan! I like him because he’s a down-to-earth person. I’ve seen all of his videos, and tonight will be my first time seeing him in person.”

Continuing, “I’ve been listening to him for nearly 25 years now — since Matchbox Twenty formed in the early ’90s, when I was a teenager in high school,” Alison recalls, “Initially, I was attracted to his music because I liked his lyrics — he writes really great songs,” before exclaiming, “and he’s good looking, too!”
This wasn’t dangerous, but may be the strangest emotional aggression I’ve ever seen from a driver

So, on Tuesday morning this week I was out on a ride. It was already late morning by then. My calendar was a bit meeting-light, and I decided I’d go ride into Hudson County, NJ to meet up with some people IRL. One was a colleague just back from paternity leave, in Jersey City; the other an old colleague, in Hoboken.

My visits were done and I was headed back north to the George Washington Bridge to cross back to New York. I opted for a direct route, which at that point in the ride was on Port Imperial Boulevard in Weehawken.

Traffic was light at that time of day (well after rush-hour). On one segment of the road, I noticed the right-hand lane of the two northbound lanes was coned off, but I didn’t see any active construction or issue that would prevent me from using the asphalt behind the cones, so I did that. It wouldn’t have been possible for the occasional northbound motorist to pass me otherwise, not without veering over the double-yellow line.

Then I see a southbound driver, driving a boxy maybe-late-80s Mercedes sedan with the windows down, in his right-hand lane. I take no great notice of him, since I’m northbound a full 3 lanes of width away from him. But then I hear him giving short blasts on his horn 2 or 3 times, not full on blares but definitely a “hey, look this way” gesture. It’s then that I notice that car’s windows are fully down and that the driver’s left arm is stretching dramatically out the window, the back of his hand facing forward, middle finger extended. The driver was a white man maybe in his late 50s, early 60s. There were no other road users anywhere near us northbound; a few other southbound drivers, but the closest were 100–200 feet ahead or behind. This must have been meant for me.

I can’t imagine what I had done wrong. Was the driver offended that I… existed? This stretch of road was completely open. I hadn’t run a red light or anything like that within line-of sight. One wouldn’t generally run reds on this stretch of road anyway.

I wasn’t wearing a face mask, but I was nowhere near anybody else. In point of fact, there was no plausible reason I might have needed a face mask until I reached the bridge, but that was still 5–6 miles away. I wasn’t in the man’s way, or any other driver’s way.

It was only later that I realized that with one hand out the window and the other tapping the horn, the driver must have been driving no-handed, for a good 5–10 seconds at least. Fantastic. I’m glad this distinguished gentleman takes road safety so seriously!

Carlton Griggs of New Jersey believes that a life spend inside, is a life wasted. Griggs knows that work is important, but also that play is equally important. Finding constructive, enjoyable ways to wind down are key not only to the success of your career, but your personal relationships with others as well. That is why Griggs has spent much of his off time exploring a number of different personal interests. Griggs knows that life has so much to offer, and wants to taste a bit of fruit from every tree. As a formal athlete, Griggs enjoys exercising in his off time, or playing a pick up game of tennis with a friend. Griggs knows the importance of staying active, and engages in other demanding outside activities like horseback riding, and skiing.

Carlton Griggs of New Jersey also knows that a rest period is equally as important as being active. That’s why when Griggs wants to relax, he turns to some of his less physically taxing interests such as riding a go cart or settling down to watch a good movie. Griggs also enjoys cooking, and could hardly think of a better afternoon than spending a day watching a Philadelphia Eagles football game eating a meal he prepared. After the game Griggs may spend a bit of time playing a few of his favorite video games before becoming a bit more adventurous at night, and going out to enjoy some karaoke with friends. Griggs also enjoys traveling, as well as sports cars, and joins the two loves by going to auto shows around the country, when work allows it anyway. Griggs believes that his enjoyment during this downtime is why he can excel at work, because he is happy and well rested.
A Message from the Lead Pastor

The church is not a building. The church is a people. God’s people can live life to the fullest without a large gathering. We are collectively at our best when each individual seeks God, engages in relationship, and responds to the needs of others. God will work mightily in and through each individual right where they are. During this time of distance, He is not restricted. We have seen you — the church — live out these beliefs. I’m so proud to be part of this local church. Your care for one another, the community, and the world is extraordinary.

Locally, we are feeding the hungry, encouraging frontline heroes, and meeting needs for Trenton’s homeless. We gave away a car this week. We are working on a new project to ease huge financial burdens for families throughout Middlesex County.

Globally, we are providing resources that allow our mission partners to feed a few thousand families in the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Southeast Asia, India, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Venezuela. Students in Brazil are able to continue their education in their group homes because we’ve been able to fund computers and supplies.

We are grateful that the President recognizes the value of prayer. We believe that prayer is the primary work of God’s people. We are grateful for Governor Murphy who recognizes the impact of the church, “inside the actual place of worship — which is overwhelming in so many of these places — but equally important, if not more so, are the tentacles that they have in the communities.” You’re making a difference in the world around you, church.

Keep living, keep loving, keep growing, keep believing, keep praying. “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8

We are looking forward to and planning for the day when we can add in-person worship gatherings to our online worship gatherings. That day is not yet here. We are working within the safety guidelines provided by our Governor, local officials, and healthcare professionals. Until then, we’ll see you online at 10AM each Sunday.

Marketing Genius: My Downtown Has a New Trendy Nickname

Image from northjersey.com

I used to live in Hackensack, New Jersey. Now, I live in The Sack.

Oh, where to begin?

My township collaborated with a group called The Hackensack Main Street Business Alliance several years ago. This partnership had one goal in mind: Make Hackensack the trendy new spot to live.

A lot of real estate developers say it will be the next Hoboken. But if you’re not from the East Coast that may not mean much to you. Picture young 20-somethings, night clubs, and new juice bars on every corner. It’s glorious.

The first step was building up Main Street so that it attracted young buyers. It proved to be an expensive task. In part, because my Main Street is a wreck. It‘s hard to compare it to anything. So just imagine a sad clown who just dropped his ice-cream. That’s our Main Street in a nutshell.

Anyway, this would no longer be the case. By 2021 Hackensack will add 3,500 modern apartment units in its downtown funded by more than $1 billion in new real estate investment.

They targeted young New Yorkers who are moving out in droves according to recent data. The prices are no joke. Studio rentals for downtown Hackensack apartments start around $1,700, and two-bedrooms can go up to $2,400.

So much for this being a working-class town.

But the stage was set. The buildings were going up and the youngins were coming. Now all they needed was a name.
A Very Kitschy Christmas

Though many scenes were repeated over time, the year’s pop culture trends were always considered. When Fountains of Wayne started the Christmas display in the 1970s, disco was a popular theme. In 1978, Santa mingled with Darth Vader and R2-D2 in an intergalactic tangle of silver foliage. After the September 11 attacks of 2001, a cutesy golden retriever stuffed animal and FDNY uniform-clad dolls served as a tribute to first responders. This collection was placed in front of a pixelated backdrop of the New York City skyline reading, “WE SHALL RISE AGAIN!” in Helvetica. Fountains of Wayne felt Noël in every news headline.

The Fountains of Wayne Christmas display was replete with random storylines and distorted dolls, but locals returned year after year. Word of mouth spread, and some visitors even traveled from out of state to make Fountains of Wayne part of their family’s annual festivities. Kids were spellbound by Santa’s many sagas, and they didn’t notice the squeaking animatronics. Their parents were fascinated by the mechanics, but more importantly, they loved that the exhibit was free. Its quirky, homegrown charm appealed to all ages, even jaded college students who celebrated the end of winter finals with a tab of LSD and a visit to the winter wonderland.

A loyal cult following briefly ushered the creaky Christmas dolls into the new millennium, but even its most devoted customers couldn’t save Fountains of Wayne. Online shopping and the infiltration of megastores were its death knell. The store went bankrupt in 2009 and liquidated all assets through a court-mandated public auction. Fountains of Wayne’s fanbase paid $500 per person just to take part. One customer (a Christmas fanatic who played Santa at the Wayne Towne Center mall) reportedly bought the entire lot of animatronics for $5,000, vowing to resurrect the spirit of Christmas at nearby Fairfield Garden Center. It’s a mystery where the dolls are now, as Fairfield Garden Center also shuttered in 2019.

Now more than ten years gone, Fountains of Wayne still comes up in conversation with fellow New Jerseyites. Despite its handmade quirks, the Winters family clearly poured extensive funds into making a memorable holiday exhibit, and it actually worked. Their Christmas anachronism captivated several generations and continues to live on through memories and numerous Facebook groups. When reminiscing about Fountains of Wayne, most look past the rough edges and instead recall the passion, imagination, and logistics that made the display possible — like how the owners managed to make a perfect Chewbacca using brunette doll wigs, or how they carted Santa’s 700-pound jet ski to the second floor of the store.
