The other day and in past postings, Ol' Homer has brought up the fact that Hackensack University Medical Center has always maintained the name HACKENSACK in it's name and affiliated ventures. This has proven to be a positive factor on the City's name recognition.
On the other hand, it seems to be that the past and present owners and management of the Shops at Riverside and  it's previous identity as Riverside Square  conveniently fail to remember that although the Shops are located in Bergen County, they are more specifically located in Hackensack.
Perhaps the Mayor and Council should remind the Simon Company that this lesson in geography could be beneficial to both the parties involved.

I like Old Homer's idea, and let's go one step further.

Let the Hackensack City Council pass a kiosk ordinance.  And this ordinance will allow the City of Hackensack to place a kiosk in any commercial public space, and the content can be regulated by the City of Hackensack.  For instance, it could talk up our residential neighborhoods, our high rises, our schools, our Arts initiative, mass transit, our very low crime rates compared to other cities in NJ, or any other aspect of the city.  Not including politics, please. 

And then we can decide where to put these Hackensack-promoting kiosks.  Surely a few in the Shops at Riverside, perhaps a few at the County complex, HUMC, Target, Costco, etc.
