Glen Rock Landlord Transforms Former Borough Hall Site GLEN ROCK, N.J. — Space in a Rock Road complex will be filled for the first time since local government moved to Borough Hall in December 2009, property owner Peter Hajiyerou says. New businesses set to move in this fall include a children’s gym, a gluten free pancake house, a high-end liquor store, a chocolatier, and youth acting classes that will be held in A Hum Music at 175 Rock Road. “I try to book tenants that will help other tenants,” said Hajiyerou, who owns the Greek Taverna in the complex. “If I bring one, I’ll find another that will benefit.” A lumber yard occupied the property …

Kilwins Celebrates One Year In Ridgewood With Candied Apples RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — Apple season is finally here and Kilwins has tons to choose from -- as long as you don’t mind that they’re covered in caramel and candy. The old-fashioned candy store on East Ridgewood Avenue celebrated its first anniversary in New Jersey last month. “Most Kilwin stores are in what I call ‘tourist locations,’ tied to water,” store owner Phillip Davis said. “It’s very much a seaside kind of thing. I wanted to take it off the beach because that would be a point of difference.” Kilwins operates on a three-part business model, selling 32 flavors of ice cream, homemade fudge …

'Moving On Doesn't Mean Forgetting' Paramus Chaplain Says PARAMUS, N.J. — Father John McCrone’s faith in humanity was strengthened when hundreds of parishioners from the Church of Annunciation showed up for the funeral of 9/11 first responder Bruce Reynolds of the Port Authority Police Department. “Considering he wasn’t a local boy, I was always proud of the parish’s reaction,” McCrone told Daily Voice, moments before the Bergen County Police Chief Association's annual 9/11 memorial service at the Garden State Plaza. “It was as though they wanted to do something, and all they could do was gather and pray.” Regretfully, it often takes tragedy to el…

Hawthorne Resident Inspires Youth Through Music HAWTHORNE, N.J. — There's more to being in a rock band than fame and fortune for the Waldwick School of Rock musician and inspiration known as STATiC.

Rock Band Trixter Drops New Treat With Ties To Paramus PARAMUS, N.J. — Drummer Mark Gus Scott could've never imagined that a song he and his bandmates wrote on Spring Valley Road in the early 1980s would open an album nearly 35 years later. “Rockin’ to the Edge of the Night” -- the first of 13 songs on Trixter’s “Human Era” -- sets the tone for the rest of the new record's tracks. “The overtone of the whole album is growing up in suburban New Jersey,” Scott said. Pete Loran, Steve Farley, PJ Brown and Scott were all raised within a square mile of one another and share fond memories of speeding down local streets and away from the police on the…

Cresskill Dance Teacher Gives Back CRESSKILL, N.J. — Students ages 2 to 52 at Cresskill Performing Arts aren’t rewarded with shiny trophies — they get the satisfaction of knowing that they’re making a difference in the community, founding owner Betsy Daly said. “Unlike other studios that do competitions, we do charity events and fundraising,” said Daly, a borough resident who opened the Knickerbocker Road studio in 2006. Cresskill Performing Arts' four performing companies have several benefits scheduled this fall. Young dancers will perform routines they learned last season.
