South Orange's Week in Review

The first full week of school, the first week of preschool, and lots going on around town

Our South Orange week begin with rain and ends with sun. We saw the Blues Festival come to town and relived it in words and video. We also saw a fire in Orange and found ways to help. We read about a homicide in Maplewood; the victim was a SOMS alum and former CHS student.

CHS football had a great game last Saturday and locals competed in the Danskin Triathlon. In town, Sparkhouse opened its studio, and Shop Localista took us to Cheeks Boutique.

The Trustees saw the members urged continued funding.

Preschool began, with tips for parents. South Orange remembered the late Eric Ross and Billy Burks.

The weekend's warm weather makes it ideal for a visit to the new aquarium at the zoo or even a round of mini-golf. If you're in town today, stop by Judi House, Jespy's new facility on Irvington Avenue.
