Renovation revelation: Letter linked to abolitionist found in historic NJ church
8+ mon, 1+ day ago (761+ words) A church in a historic New Jersey town was being restored for a theater company's use. Contractors found a letter from 1891 in its rafters. CAPE MAY, New Jersey " The former Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church yielded a few finds when contractors began renovating it to become East Lynne Theater Company's new home: some old bottles, collection envelopes from the 1940s, a little metal globe bank whose dusty, rusty surface obscured most of the world's countries and oceans. But one item went a little farther back: a snippet of a receipt that may have been hand-written and signed by a prominent Civil War veteran, abolitionist, Underground Railroad facilitator and pastor. The snippet even bears a date: June 19, 1891. "To all whom this may concern, Elwood Rowland, formerly of Media, PA Daniel Galvin, (formerly of) Phila Plastered this church during The month of June…...

10+ mon, 1+ week ago (425+ words) New Jersey's American Dream megamall is flouting centuries-old Bergen "blue laws," which demand most retailers close on Sundays " and its becoming a nightmare for local officials. The 3 million-square-foot behemoth on the banks of the swampy Hackensack River in East Rutherford has been open on Sundays for at least a year, according to The Record newspaper. This means the mammoth retail and entertainment complex " which first opened in 2019 and features stores, restaurants, rides, waterslides and even a 300-foot Ferris wheel " isn't following the same rules that govern every other business in Bergen County. And area officials are crying foul. "American Dream's disregard of the state statute is deeply concerning, and its violation gives American Dream Mall tenants an unfair advantage over all other Bergen County businesses lawfully complying with state law," a Bergen County spokesman told The Post in a Monday…...

5+ mon, 2+ week ago (760+ words) PRINCETON, New Jersey (Reuters) -New Jersey voters head to the polls on Tuesday to select Democratic and Republican nominees for governor, following a campaign that has been dominated by a part-time state resident who isn't even on the ballot: President Donald Trump.

Trump's whirlwind first four months have made him the central character in both the Republican and Democratic campaigns in New Jersey. Virginia has no primary elections this year after Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and Democratic former U.S. Representative Abby Spanberger ran unopposed for their party's…...
