Inside 3,500-Square-Foot Gastropub Now Open In Bergen County
June 2023 was when Mike Madigan says he experienced the scariest moment of his life. The 44-year-old Wyckoff, NJ, dad had finally taken the leap on owning a bar and restaurant of his own and had everything he needed to move forward with the project. He had the lease. He had the architectural plans. And he had the approval from everyone he needed. All he needed was a construction company to agree to the work. "I spent a good three or four months calling construction companies and setting up appointments," said Madigan, a Burlington, MA native who by day works as a controller for Keller Wil…

HIM? FBI Offers Reward For 'Bomb Carrying' Park Ridge, Rockland Bank Robber
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man who they said robbed banks in Park Ridge and Pomona earlier this year by claiming to have a bomb.

Bergen Prosecutor: Rockland Stalker's Bogus 'Active Shooter' Call Brings SWAT To Park Ridge
UPDATE (MAY 8, 2019): As coincidences go, it's odd: A bogus 911 "active shooter" call that brought a SWAT team and swarms of other responders to a Park Ridge home had nothing to do with a bank robbery across town that occurred at almost the same time, authorities said.

However, a senior law enforcement official told Daily Voice that the call was "unrelated...oddly" to the robbery at nearly the same time of an Oritani Bank bra…
