Corporate To Candy Apples: Warwick Confectionaries Make Dreams Come True WARWICK, N.Y. —  The Warwick Candy Apple Shoppe is a dream come true for its owners and its sweet-toothed customers. The old-fashioned candy store started in 2003, when owners Lauren Brophy and Leigh Petroski ventured out of their corporate jobs to find a future where they could control their destiny. That May, the pair secured a Bed and Breakfast in Glenwood, New Jersey, which they spruced up and brought back to life with their sweet creations. Business opened there in 2005 and a decade later, on Main Street in Warwick. The shoppe offers fresh fudge in dozens of flavors from birthday cak…

Colombian Accountant Uproots To Rebuild Hackensack Cafe Destroyed By Fire Colombian Accountant Uproots To Rebuild Hackensack Cafe Destroyed By Fire Colombian Accountant Uproots To Rebuild Hackensack Cafe Destroyed By Fire
Colombian Accountant Uproots To Rebuild Hackensack Cafe Destroyed By Fire HACKENSACK, N.J. — Walking into work feels like going home for Hackensack's Citrus Cafe & Bakery owner Julio Guerra. But that hasn't always been the case. The first time Guerra ever saw his cafe was in March 2015 — and it was in complete disarray.  Just five months prior, a fire had torn through the Main Street eatery, where his mother — Luciana Marulanda — had been working as a chef.  Citrus' former owner didn't have the resources to rebuild it, but Guerra felt undertaking the cafe as a new business venture would be the perfect opportunity to join his mom overseas. He hadn't seen an…

Surveillance Video Appears To Capture Hackensack Officers Picking Locks HACKENSACK, N.J. — Surveillance footage acquired by NorthJersey.com that appears to depict Hackensack police picking the lock of a Prospect Avenue apartment building last year has become a new piece of evidence in an internal affairs investigation.

Life's A Party: Goshen Dad Trades DJ Life For Family's Mexican Fare Life's A Party: Goshen Dad Trades DJ Life For Family's Mexican Fare Life's A Party: Goshen Dad Trades DJ Life For Family's Mexican Fare
Life's A Party: Goshen Dad Trades DJ Life For Family's Mexican Fare GOSHEN, N.J. — La Casita owner Guillermo Jimenez glances at the DJ booth sitting behind the bar in the corner of his Mexican restaurant. Decades ago, he would've been the one working it. But that was in the 1980s, just after he moved from Mexico to California to work in his family's restaurant business. These days? He's just focused on running the West Main Street eatery with his wife and twin boys. And although he's no longer the one in the DJ booth, it reminds him that life in La Casita should be a party. "I want to make people feel like they can come and forget all of their strugg…

Development War Wages On In Edgewater EDGEWATER, N.J. — When it comes to redevelopment, it's nothing but slim pickings in Edgewater and all along the New Jersey coastline. So, when a developer claimed a nice chunk of land on the waterfront, he knew he had to come up with something that the borough couldn't refuse. It seems, however, that the borough had something else in mind. According to The New York Times, Edgewater Mayor Michael McPartland and the Borough Council seized the 19-acre parcel under eminent domain to build a new DPW and park, declining the developer's proposal. More than 1,800 apartments in five high-rise buil…

Pray For Vegas: Schepisi Bill Bans Bump Stocks BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. – After the shooter in Las Vegas used bump stocks to fire his rifle automatically, Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen) quickly responded with a bill requiring all bump stocks to be returned to police, banning them for sale or possession in New Jersey. Bump stocks were approved by the Obama administration in 2010 as a way to help people with disabilities fire semi-automatic rifles. While the intent to make bump stocks legal to ensure parity for those with disabilities, these items have instead resulted in weapons being illegally converted. “No civilian should ever h…
