The Home Depot’s annual Spring Festival is expanding this year.

Mahwah’s NYSE Center Part of Growing Data Trend, NY Times Reports

The increased demand for data centers is bringing big business to Northern NJ, but the nature of the business is making it tough to regulate, report says.

The unmarked building on Macarthur Boulevard in Mahwah that houses the New York Stock Exchange’s backup data was one of the examples the New York Times used Tuesday in an article on the increasing real estate value of data centers in Northern New Jersey. Despite their addresses outside Manhattan, data centers throughout the region are commanding big bucks for companies to rent out remote computer back-up, and big amounts of energy, the report said. “Why pay $600 or more a square foot at unglamorous addresses like Weehawken, Secaucus and Mahwah?” the article asks. “The answer is still location, location, location — but of a very different sort.” It goes on to explain that “companies are paying top dollar to lease space there in buildings …

Mahwah Man Starts First Bergen County Flag Football League

The entrepreneur says the NFL-registered league will be open to first graders through adults who want to play.

A Mahwah entrepreneur has started a new league that he says will help fill a void in the Bergen County sports scene. Carl Susini, who has lived in Mahwah with his wife since 2004, was a coach in the Mahwah Youth Football League for eight years before serving as president of the Bergen Passaic Youth Football League. Though Susini and his wife could not have any children, he says the impact youth sports had on him as a child prompted him to become involved in the existing programs in the township, and create something new. “I remember the experience I got,” he said. “It was not only educational, I learned things that were really life-changing. I want to be able to help give kids that.” In 2010, Susini founded Youth Sports World, a sports …

Don't forget all the cab companies. NJ having non regulated taxi cab rates allows all local cab companies to Jack their prices for a 1 mile ride to and from the Meadowlands area up to $60-$100 a ride or some ridiculous amount. They already do it during any event at the Meadowlands.   more ›

I have tried out this new deli a handful of times not and the biggest concern is with the inexperienced help behind the counter. They appear to have no working knowledge of waiting on people and no personalities. The Owners are nowhere to be seen. They should be behind the counter waiting on their new customers and welcoming them as if it is their new home. They will put themselves out of …   more ›
