A power outage occured on Linden Avenue between JFK Blvd and Bergen Avenue tonight around 9:00 pm. Neighbors sat on their stoop and beat the heat together. as we all waited for PSEG to come and fix the issue.

Around 9:30 pm a service truck swung onto Linden Ave and after a quick assessment they got to work. In a mere 10 minutes, by 9:45 pm, our houses were lit, to some cheers and claps. and we all made our way back into our air-conditioned homes, to continue, separately but together, to beat the heat.
