Wow, I thought it looked great for the parade. Please, give the DPW workers a break, they're a great bunch of hard working people. doing a lot and the best they can.

Many streets have huge holes, no money for that either. We support and remember our veterans beautifully every year. A lot of prep goes in to the parade and, setting up chairs, speakers, etc for the closing ceremonies. Perhaps you should address this with township administrator...make sure it's corrected for next year. Or, organize a community clean up day.

As a member of Green Thumb Garden Club, it was upsetting to read this comment. Each year Green Thumb GC provides, plants, and maintains the red white and blue flowers as well as the mums in the fall. We have been doing this for well over a decade. On a recent visit to the park, I found that the above comments are without basis in fact. The grass was cut and the flowers are growing nicely. Everyone should keep in mind that this park as with much of Cranford was underwater last fall. As you can imagine soil from the beds needed to be replaced before flowers could be planted this year. I'm sure other work was done to restore the park after the flood. I commend the work of Parks Director, Steve Robertazzi, the Cranford DPW and the Green Thumb Garden Club for their commitment to this important place.

I miss that last significant vestige of wild growth in the center of town.
