Welcome to MidBergen Communities

OK, we are about ready to start putting a lot more time into this site. The bad news is that there have been a few software upgrades in the meantime, so, sometime in the next few weeks, we will be rebuilding from scratch. We hope to be up and running by Thanksgiving. The bad news is that everybody who registered will probably have to re-register. Sorry about that.

In preparation, I will appreciate events for the community calendar (please write me at webmaster@midbergen.com, if you want to post an event), and I plan to getthe free business listings up and running. After that, the site WILL be updated regularly, and it will remain free of charge (there will be no advertising except for the free classified ads, at least for the time being).

This is an unofficial site for the towns and boroughs of mid-Bergen county (hence the name). It's starting out with (in alphabetical order), Bergenfield, Dumont, Haworth, New Milford, River Edge, and Oradell. Feel free to explore around, and join in on the discussion forums.

Also, there are free classified ads in the discussion forums. We will be building a directory of local businesses; if you want your business to be included (there is no charge for a basic listing if you are in one of the six boroughs), please send the name of your business, its website (if any) its address, phone number, hours, and what kind of business it is to webmaster@midbergen.com.)

What I hope will differentiate this site from others is the fact that, as a resident myself, I am personally interested in this site. If you want to make any suggestions, comments, or, especially, complaints, you can reach me publicly in the support forum or email me at webmaster@midbergen.com. Feel free to look around!

On Sunday, May 18th, the BergenCounty Historical Society celebrated the traditional Dutch festival of Pinkster (Pentecost) celebrating the end of cold weather and the beginning of the spring and summer warmth. In spite of the light rain, the festival went on in the Campbell-Christie and Demarest houses at New Bridge Landing in River Edge. Read more...

Editorial (rant?): Taking Bicycles Seriously

Posted by Bart on Thursday, May 01, 2008

The current price of gasoline is, well, ridiculous. And, although we had not reached the point where walking more than a quarter mile was sufficient proof to get one legally committed as insane, we are going to go further away from that point.

The 2008 River Edge Run

Posted by Admin on Wednesday, April 16, 2008

The annual River Edge Run was held this year on Saturday, April 12. It
started with a 1 mile "Fun Run" at 9:00 AM, sponsored by the River
Edge Elementary Schools. Built-Well Home Improvements donated two bicycles for
participants. There was a nice audience in spite of the early hour and threatening
weather (which held; by the time the event was over, the sun was out..)

Editorial: Think Locally, Act Locally

Posted by Admin on Monday, September 25, 2006

Some of you who looked at the discussion forums may have noticed that the issues groups don't go any further than Bergen County. That was quite on purpose. I have a belief that one of the reasons why national politics is in such a mess is that people are paying so much attention on what is going on across the country or across the world, that they lose sight of what is happening on their own street.

The 2006 Andiamo Motorcycle Run

Posted by Admin on Tuesday, September 19, 2006

As has happened for the previous 6 years, one of the largest, flashiest, and loudest fundraising events in the area took place on September 17, 2006: The 7th Annual Andiamo Benefit Motorcycle Run.
