Congrats! I too grew up as a newspaper reader thanks to my parents. It's a trust in America's "Fourth Estate" that continues to serve me well.

Congratulations! I chose not to subscribe so I didn’t read the article. How cool it must be to write something in a paper you grew up reading! I still buy the local papers, love the feel, the smell and the ability to take my time to read and explore! Nice job, again congrats!

4th of July reminder: YOU can always say NO. ICE agents can say "NO", Politicians can say "NO", We the American People can & must say "NO". NO to injustice. NO to illegal search & seizures. NO to corrupt politicians. NO to autocracy. We the People hold the power to say NO with our voices & votes.

I can't read the whole thing. Star-Ledger? Bergen Record? I don't think you're as far south as the Courier-Post, but I wouldn't know. But usually when people say they are from Jersey they mean north lol. We get no love down here unless it's beach related.

When I was a teen in the 60’s there was this expression people would use when someone got into trouble or had a mishap, “ Better him than me” It was emotionally cold but it showed how people were glad they got to escape misfortune Our culture has a lot of that…
