A Township landowner has filed suit against the Princeton Township Zoning Board of Adjustment for denying a proposal earlier this year that sought to build 96 age-restricted houses along a 14-acre expanse to the east of Bunn Drive.
Township officials last week questioned whether a recently approved proposal to build a 49-unit senior housing development slated for a 28-acre tract along Mt. Lucas Road would ever come to fruition, but those working with the developer have confirmed with Town Topics that the proposal is indeed moving through the planning process.
Once upon a time, Huei Tsai's commercial building in downtown Princeton backed up to a parking lot, where no one would think twice about seeing whatever picture the back of a restaurant might paint.
When Princeton HealthCare System announced in late 2005 that it would be relocating its University Medical Center at Princeton to a site in Plainsboro, and that Princeton University was the contract purchaser for its Merwick Rehab Center on Bayard Lane, YWCA Princeton and the Princeton Family YMCA knew they had to act fast.
After an arduous cleaning process handled by a state contractor, and a rigorous fund-raising effort by local organizers to showcase a Princeton landmark, the Princeton Battle Monument at Borough Hall is finally ready to be displayed, officially, to the public, neatly placing an exclamation point on what was generally considered to be a bright idea from the outset.
When Marc Nowak entered a masters program in physical therapy in the early 1980s, he saw it as a stepping stone to medical school.
Cack Ferrell produced one of the greatest distance running careers in Princeton University history.
Pat Gallagher hardly ever came off the field during his career as a star offensive and defensive lineman for the Hun School football team.
The word "cheeky" is defined in the dictionary as meaning impudent or contemptuously bold.
Thirty years ago last weekend I was buying a snack in the Gem Spa on the corner of St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue when I saw the headlines. ELVIS IS DEAD. Even though Elvis had never been a hero of mine, even though I never owned a record of his, I remember the time, place, season, weather, and what I was doing (in the city to see a movie whose name I've forgotten), because Elvis was and is — well, Elvis. Does anyone need to say Presley?
Full of Princeton allusions and Princeton issues, Whizzer's Island, currently playing at the Hamilton Murray Theater, is the murder mystery comedy concoction of Marvin Harold Cheiten, local businessman and benefactor of Princeton Summer Theater and Theatre Intime.
