Anything cool near Englewood, New Jersey?
My wife and I are flying out there this weekend so she can do her final interviews for a job and we can check the area out to see if we would possibly want to live there. Looking for recommendations for good restaurants/shopping/cultural stuff that will make for a fun weekend -- and help us decide if Englewood would be a good home for us. Of course open to nearby cities (Hackensack?) as well. Thanks!

Converting a two-way residential street to a one-way?
Our town is proposing that several residential streets in my neighborhood be converted from two-way streets to one-way streets. My husband and I (and many of our neighbors) are against this, especially since our street is one of the streets they want to change to a one-way. There's a town meeting with the mayor tonight I'm looking for talking points against the conversion. [more inside]

Talk to me about Newark, NJ: Safety, surrounding places to live, etc.
I am in some conversations about a potential new job at an organization based in Newark, NJ. When I was growing up in NJ the city had a reputation for being unsafe. My sense is that things have improved, but how much? What is it like to work in, and live in or near Newark? [more inside]

Transport from Montgomery Co PA to Newark Airport
For upcoming international travel I booked a flight out of Newark for the lower cost. I anticipated having a ride but am now forced to deal with transportation to/from the airport. I'll be gone for just over two weeks and will leave and arrive back during normal business hours on weekdays.
I live in Montgomery County PA and am looking for transportation options to Newark Airport. Some options include:
- Suburban rail to center city Philadelphia, Amtrak to Newark
- Suburban rail to trenton, train to Newark/bus to airport
- driving
- hiring a car service
- shuttle
So far it seems like all the public transit options are pretty cheap but a pain from where I live and given that I'll have luggage. Hiring a car service would be easiest but most expensive. I liked the option of the SuperTrans shuttle which could either pick me up at home or at a nearby hotel, but have read terrible yelp reviews on them.
Anyone have experience getting to/from Newark that could be helpful here?
