And don't forget the late and great General Enoch Poor of Revolutionary War fame. Although he was originally from New Hampshire, he died in or around Hackensack and is buried in the cemetery next to the Old Church on the Green. There are those who say he died of fever while other historians give weight to the legend that he died in a duel over a prostitute. The general's statue / monument stands in the roadway just east of the Green. Due to the fact that the statue stands looking over the  Bergen County Courthouse, old Homer gives weight to the prostitute angle.

In the late 1970's or early 1980's, the former National Tavern next to the Breslin and Breslin building on lower Main Street was replaced by General Poor's Retreat.

Either that or they are waiting for the Anderson Street job to be finished.

Yes, and supported by greyhound racing on the Johnson Park Waterfront Walkway and bull fighting on the Green during lunch hour.

Two dollars on number 7 to place.

Can the periodic updates also be posted on this website?

If the guy smoking a cigar in the back room of the candy store offers you an over/ under bet on 3 days to repair the sewer, take the "over" and bet the ranch.

When a contractor pulls his equipment off a job this big before it is finished there is usually one underlying issue:

DOLLARS

Regarding the bricks, they probably came from the Hackensack Brick Company or one of the other brick producers along the River in Hackensack and Little Ferry. Don't forget that about 130 years ago the contractor or supplier couldn't exactly load the bricks on forty footers and deliver them to the site after getting off Route 80. The bricks were hauled to the site on horse drawn, flat bed wagons so it only made sense to obtain them from the closest local supplier.
Keep in mind also that there is a large brick arch sewer line beneath lower Main Street and probably other large streets in the older parts of Hackensack. This holds true in other cities where large trunk lines were built before the start of the 20th century.

 EVEN FLOW !?!?!?!?
