A small storefront located at 382 Bloomfield Ave. has been vacant since March.
In this installment of Visions for Vacancies, The Caldwells Patch asks: What do you think should move into 382 Bloomfield Ave., the former home of Say I Do Bridal Boutique? All possibilities are on the table. We ask you to forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump-lot coverage rules, and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community? This store became vacant in March after the bridal boutique moved next door.

The curiously hued Nutley resident continues to make headlines.
Sources close to “Tanning Mom” Patricia Krentcil told celebrity gossip site TMZ that the Nutley woman would be featured in a soon-to-be released gay porn film. The sources then qualified the revelation: Krentcil would be working fully clothed and she won’t partake in any sexual activities. The 45-year-old mother will get $1,000 for the cameo role, said sources. Earlier this year, the mother of five recorded her debut rap single at a New York recording studio and posed topless on a Jersey Shore beach. Krentcil's infamy began in April 2012 when school officials noticed burns on her daughter's leg and reported the injuries to authorities.

Whoever wrote this press release has just done the fencer and the fencing world a great disservice. There's at least one error per paragraph.
