| The Record's former headquarters in Hackensack. The newsroom was on the 4th floor in the taller structure on the right, affording a view of an elevated section of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Manhattan skyline. On 9/11, news copy editors putting out an "extra" would glance up and see a column of black smoke rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center's twin towers. |

Staff Writer John Cichowski's Road Warrior column on older pedestrians (L-1) reminds me of the time I saw him walking slowly and unsteadily through the corridors of Bergen Community College in Paramus.
Young students raced by Cichowski, who looked befuddled and lost. Later, he delivered an animated talk full of traffic statistics to a class of seniors enrolled in the Institute of Learning in Retirement.
Hackensack readers looking for news of their city or what will happen to the 20 River Street acres owned by North Jersey Media Group come up empty again -- thanks to head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes and her deputy, Dan Sforza.
Instead, there is a seemingly misplaced story on Wall Street's rating of Hackensack University Medical Center (L-3).
On L-2, the latest chapter of utility pole news comes in the form of a photo.
