9/11 FLAG PICTURES -- Spent most of the day snapping flag pictures around town. There are 113 raw pictures which need culling and editing -- translation: it's gonna take me a while. But I found an amazing variety from one end of the community to the other. Many thanks to those who emailed me and put up with my coming up their driveways or on their lawns to get a better shot. Question for you FLAG PROTOCOL MAVENS: Was yesterday officially a 'half-mast day'? The city seemed somewhat conflicted: Police and fire flags were at half-mast; City hall and war memorial were at full height. Enlightenment awaited...
WEDNESDAY: SOUTH AVENUE CONDOS -- Redux. The long-awaited continuation of the Zoning Board hearing(s) on the proposed South Avenu condos. You remember, the $400,000 units next to the Public Works garage and backing up to the NJT tracks.
THURSDAY: LATINO MIGRATION - PLAINFIELD & CENTRAL JERSEY -- This year's Hispanic Heritage Month is being dedicated to Ray Blanco, the late councilor, filmmaker and friend.
