Defense attorney, U.S. senator in Englewood parade

Famed criminal defense attorney Frank P. Lucianna (with white hair, center) marching today in Englewood's Memorial Day Parade arm in arm with U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (hidden). The Englewood-born Lucianna is 91. See Page 1 of The Record today for a lame Herb Jackson column on Booker that suggests voters should decide whether to reelect the Democrat based on his record as Newark mayor, not what he's done since he succeeded the late Frank R. Lautenberg in the Senate.

The annual parade along Palisade Avenue passed City Hall, above. Participants included members of churches in the city, public and charter school students, Civil War and Revolutionary War reenactors firing their rifles or muskets, and overweight middle-age men riding and revving their loud motorcycles.

  1. Victor -- did you read Doblin's column today -- he is such a pompous ass. Anyway, his last line about the coffee at the Heritage Diner being good --how does he know -- he probably hasn't been there in five years. I am surprised with The Record closing that the place is still open.

    1. The Heritage was never known for its coffee or its food. The Coach House has always been a much better diner, with a decent salad bar and wine by the glass.

    2. I didn't answer your question. It's painful to read Doblin, a pop culture maven who sprinkles references to books, songs, TV and Broadway shows throughout his columns.

      How he is allowed to edit the editorials and write an opinion column at the same time eludes me. He is in clear conflict.

  2. This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work.
