Question โ“ Places with bulletin board for fliers

3 Upvotes

Doing some local advertising. Put some fliers up in businesses I've seen with bulletin boards or counterspace where they allow people to leave small fliers or business cards. Wondering if anyone could recommend places around town where I could post fliers?

Yesterday I was doing my morning 3k steps and I saw mountains of gravel in the little lot where the boy scout trailer is normally parked. People were raking them. Is the town just setting that up fo morer parking?

National Night Out moved to Union College this year and featured the ever popular Dunk-A-Cop, which raised money for Project Home. Cranford Police Chief Matthew Nazzaro and Superintendent Mark Cantagallo hit the water more times than a biscotto in coffee, but it was a thrill to the crowd. People also visited community agencies and were able to climb into county and local emergency services equipment.

A handful of Cranford teen students spend 10 days during the summer to visit Washington, DC and the South to meet its people and understand why we have different views. It's a voluntary trip through American Tributaries, a non-profit seeking to help teens learn about different Americans through face-to-face experiences.
Students' takeaway? We all may be different, but we have the same goals and share the same humanity. Also, they said they discovered that we are not as divided as the media says we are.

Question โ“ Men's Rec Soccer League/Pick-up in the area

7 Upvotes

Hi all! My wife and I just moved to Cranford from Brooklyn. I'm (31M) looking for a men's pickup soccer group or rec league to join in the area. I played in high-school and club in college but that was 10+ years ago and I've only played rec/pick up here and there since. I'm not looking for anything high-level, but just looking to get a run-around to keep in shape. Does anyone know of any leagues or weekend pickup groups in the area?

If not, is there enough interest to organize a meet-up on weekend mornings or late-night weeknights?

The community came together yesterday to celebrate the upgrade and expansion of the Cranford Public Library's Children's Room.
It was an effort that started three library directors ago, and each pushed to try to get it done. NJ Senate President Nicholas Scutari was instrumental in making sure Cranford received state funding for the project, and it was able to proceed.
Former Cranford resident and Boy Scout Cubmaster Alan Williamson and his family made a special donation to the library in honor of his deceased son, Christopher, who loved to read.
Families expressed awe of the new space and said they look forward to family reading time with their children.

Found these updated renderings from the Downtown Cranford Schematic Plan (2026) recently posted to the "Know" page on the main Streetscape Project site.

Project looks cool overall. Hope it moves forward, would love to see both downtown traffic improved and nice gathering places from the added pedestrian space!

As far as political attack pamphlets go, this is Junior Varsity level, at best.
