HACKENSACK CHRONICLE REPRINTS NEWS STORY
ON 'LIKELY' CLOSING OF SEARS STORE.


The Sears Roebuck and Co. store on Main Street in Hackensack is called "iconic" and an "outdated mainstay in the heart of Hackensack" by reporter Melanie Anzidel of The Record and NorthJersey.com.

"The retail dinosaur has slowly lost its footing in the Garden State," she wrote, noting Sears filed for bankruptcy in the fall of 2018. The store opened in 1932.

Anzidel then wrote:

"The store [in Hackensack] even downsized, in a potential last ditch effort to survive, by selling off a separate parcel of its land to build an ALDI, a German discount grocery chain that opened on the shared property in 2017, at the other end of the parking lot."

Knocking down the Sears tire and auto battery store to clear the property for construction of a supermarket doesn't sound like downsizing to me, and it wasn't "a separate parcel," as Anzidel notes herself when reporting ALDI opened in 2017 "at the other end of the [Sears] parking lot."

When Sears filed for bankruptcy, the retailer still operated stores in Hackensack, Livingston, Rockaway, Wayne and Jersey City, which soon may be the only Sears left in New Jersey, Anzidel said.

THE RECORD, (201) MAGAZINE AND OTHER GANNETT PUBLICATIONS ARE NOW OWNED BY A JAPANESE CONGLOMERATE

On July 16, 2020, a New York Times story reported that hedge funds and private equity firms have become the owners of newspapers in Canada and the United States.

"The private equity fund Fortress Investment Group controls the largest American newspaper chain, Gannett, which published USA Today, The Arizona Republic and 250 other dailies, [including The Record of Woodland Park]," Times reporter Edmund Lee says. "Fortress is owned by the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank."

Here is a profile of SoftBank from Google:

From: https://eyeontherecord.blogspot.com/2020/07/from-great-local-journalism-to-hawking.html

Think of it:

Tenants of the luxury apartments will be moving their bowels on the site of a great local daily newspaper Stephen A. Borg turned to trash.




Here's what I'm thinking: Hundreds of Record employees - including YOU - must have also moved their bowels there in the many decades that The Record and its bathrooms were on the River St site.

What's the difference? It's the same ol' sh*t, isn't it?


And what does any of this - and the post that precedes it - have to do with a thread about the poor quality of the writing in the newspaper?

Posts should only be in one relevant thread.

Try to keep that in mind.

And - right on cue - today's Hackensack Chronicle (pg. 2, third and fourth words of the caption) reminds us what this thread's all about (you mean she's NOT the crane?):

Mr. BLeafe:

I can safely say that in all my years at The Record's building on River Street, I never moved my bowels there during a work shift or at any other time. I did all my business at home.

Sincerely,
Victor Sasson

As for the $25 million contribution to build a surgical tower at the Hospital That Ate Hackensack, wouldn't the money be better spent on educating people about what foods are linked to cancer, including nitrates and nitrates used to preserve hot dogs, bacon and other cured meats? So, then instead of Medicare and Medicaid shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for cancer operations in a new surgical tower and enriching doctors and the CEO of that medical monstrosity, people can live longer and disease-free lives.

You're STILL not paying attention. That post has absolutely nothing to do with the poor quality of the writing in the newspaper. In any thread, restrict your comments to the topic.

Either find an appropriate thread for this or start a new one for it in your soapbox.

How is it that the HACKENSACK Chronicle can't distinguish between a Main St view and a River St view? And why are the last two sentences in the caption not even sentences?

I guess we're fortunate that the picture isn't upside-down.

How is it that the Hackensack Chronicle STILL has problems when it comes to River Street? This week, they're not able to name the street properly from one picture to the next............one that's literally right next to it!

I guess we're fortunate that.............nah, we're not fortunate at all when they continue their sloppiness over the simplest of things after screwing up in the previous issue.

We're now all left to wonder what blunderful thing will they do next week.

Stay tuned and click to enlarge.

Another stupid caption............

If this was really "setting for a pass", then he would be telling the defense what the next play would be................duh!

Captions for sports images should be done by someone with at least a basic knowledge of the sports they're captioning.

The Record dismisses
airport's quality of life threat
in just a few words



Before the Covid 19 pandemic, air traffic from Teterboro Airport had the biggest impact on the quality of life in Hackensack, Teaneck and Englewood, as noisy multimillion dollar business jets owned by big corporations and celebrities roared overhead day and night. During the warmer months, residents of some of the high-rises along Prospect Avenue feared going out on their terraces as jets lining up for a landing seemed to skim their rooftops.

But in a Record article on the opening of a new diner near the airport that was reprinted in the Hackensack Chronicle today, reporter Philip DeVencentis refers to a "small airfield parked with private jets and prop planes."

What a buffoon.

Although the pandemic, shutdown of businesses, lockdowns and quarantines in 2020 cut air traffic significantly, there has been a lot more activity at Teterboro and other airports in the last month or two, and an increase in jet noise over Hackensack's Fairmount section and other neighborhoods.

To call the Port Authority owned airport "a small airfield" is inaccurate and irresponsible.

Runway Diner is owned by the same couple that own Fairmount Eats, according to the weekly newspaper, and they and a partner "also share a stake" in Chillers Grill in Fort Lee.

Devencentis reports the new diner is "delivering amid the pandemic."

So, no takeout?

The Record's looking longer and the Hackensack Chronicle's looking wider (first pic).............until you flip them over (second pic).

This is like a short person putting lifts in their shoes - it's fake. And it looks really stupid to not fold them in half. When you open to the middle of the Chronicle, the left page is 11.5 inches across, but the right page is only 10.5 inches across (third pic).

C'mon, guys...............learn how to fold a paper in half.

PAGE EQUALITY MATTERS!  ;)
