On Thursday, June 20th, Pennsauken Mayor Jack Killion, formally resigned from Township Committee, after 20 years of service, in front of an audience of more than 30 friends, family members, residents and township employees. A proclamation praising his years of commitment to the community and tenacity in tackling issues was read by Committeeman Rick Taylor. The mayor thanked everyone, including former Merchantville mayor, Patrick Brennan, for attending and reminisced about the pleasure these years of service - including many as a coach for P.Y.A.A - have brought him and his family. Killion will also retire at the end of this month as coordinator of buildings and grounds for Pennsauken's school district, where he has worked for 26 and a half years.

A more focused message, or branding, effort similar to the one that has helped establish South Jersey as a destination for wine tourism — might be in order. The “Dig South Jersey” concept could be a winner. Or how about highlighting the renewal and distinctive character among many of the region’s downtowns, including Glassboro’s sleek new collegiate vibe, the emerging artsiness of Pitman, the postcard charms of Woodstown, or the urbane, Victorian flavor of Merchantville? There’s a misunderstanding of what tourism can mean to a community. The most recent analysis released by the state Division of Travel and Tourism found that visitors to the state spent a total of $43 billion in 2017.

A lofty plan to honor the musical legacy of Camden’s Victor building is being scrapped as a recycling firm, EMR Eastern, is moving in. Located at Front and Cooper Streets, the historic recorded music building is where the Victor Talking Machine Company built a music dynasty in downtown Camden, churning out records and legendary artists such as Louis Armstrong, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday recorded for the label. Entrepreneur Graham Alexander, who launched a Victor-themed musical venue and archive Vault at Victor Records in Berlin, was among the tenants who had hoped to lease space in the Victor building. Alexander now plans to open a manufacturing facility in Merchantville this spring.
