Hackensack Discussion / Re: John Zisa competing on American Idol!

Yet again, John makes it to the next round. This is getting interesting.

A review:

Next in my list of favorites is John Zisa also of New Jersey who sang “Baby, Come to me,” an early 80’s tune. John was definitely my most favorite contestant of the night. This is the first time in a first round audition that I have ever sincerely wished the contestant would keep on singing. Typically you hear a good audition and it’s like “that was nice.” John Zisa was singing a cheesy 80’s soft rock hit and I was thinking: “sing the rest of that, record it, and I’ll buy it.” (http://catallarchy.net/blog/archives/2005/01/19/american-idol-season-4/)

Hackensack History / Maplecrest Beach

« on: February 14, 2005, 05:56:17 PM »

Thanks to Barry for sending this:

In the 1950's, Maplecrest Beach was located in Hackensack, just north of Route 4 on Hackensack Avenue. It was not a "pool" but a spring surrounded by sand. It was chlorinated but the bottom was dirt and we referred to it as a mudhole. It was originally owned by the Whitehouses, a couple who lived in Teaneck. They sold it in 1955 to a group from NYC, who ran it as a swimming hole for a few years then sold the land to developers.

Does anyone remember this?

From The Record's "Reality Bites":

AMERICAN IDOL: Only 72 remain, but one of them is Hackensack's John Zisa. He barely advanced to the next round after he, Kurtis Parks and J.P. Koehler forgot the lyrics but were given a second chance, probably because they admitted the risk they took by picking a song no other band would take.

Expect a lot more tears this week as the field is cut down to 24.

Hackensack Discussion / Services for the homeless...

« on: February 10, 2005, 12:19:31 PM »

"Bergen County could have a new homeless shelter by the end of 2006, county officials said Wednesday.

The proposed two-story L-shaped shelter at River and East Kansas streets in Hackensack would house as many as 100 people, cost nearly $5.8 million and lead to the closure of a shelter on Orchard Street in the city."
