Maybe the farmers market will be a two for one deal. Food and a Fight amongst vendors. Lots of hair pulling, scratching of eyes, foul language. If we are lucky one vendor will pick up another and slam them in a table like you see in movies. If it is this two for one then the popcorn vendor will make a mint.

This Hudson Chronicle comment is so outrageously offensive, I am in a state of shock. It would be a repulsive comment against anyone, but Sam Pesin as a target is just absurd. Sam has been deeply committed to racial justice and equity for multiple lifetimes of the Chronicle. He was my kids' preschool teacher and they learned more about equality, justice and respect from Sam than they have from all teachers combined since. He had explicit, age appropriate conversations about racial justice and what it means to stand in solidarity with each other at a time when no one did.

The developers and their outlet are pissed because without a financier or publicist, Sam has fared so much better than they have. Sam holds values that align with what most of us believe, and has been organizing at the grassroots level with people who share his committment- two ingredients the Fireman crew lack entirely.

I think Gothamist did a thing about this exact smell wafting around Newark years ago, couldn't find it with a quick google. So no, you're not the only one that smells that on that bridge.

Old commute used to go past the Nabisco plant in Bergen County, random chocolate chip cookie smells while driving are tough to beat.
