CONS: This building has not been kept up to date since the 90s and the shrubbery around it is blocking off others from seeing it OVERALL: Nice building to drive past and reminisce about your time attending here, or just to enjoy a historical scenic place

I'd…read morehave to guess they really don't want the local vandals having a turn at it as it is could be a lovely building for the right owner. The marker reads, "In 1899 the schoolhouse property was bought from the Bloomer family. The following year a two story, square plan, Renaissance Revival style building was completed with 3 classrooms and an assembly room for grades K-8. In 1907, 4 classrooms were added to the south side, and in 1912, 6 classrooms were added to the north side, expanding the school to K-12. In 1921 the south end was again enlarged, and from 1929 to 1955 it was solely the Closter Jr/Sr High School, 7-12. From 1955 to 1996 it was the Village School, grade's 6-8." There is parking nearby but you'll need to walk up the hill to see the building properly. [Review 18323 overall - 156 in New Jersey - 1845 of 2022.]

Quaint little station in Oradell serviced by the Pascack NJ Transit rail line running between…read moreSpring Valley and Hoboken. Weekdays trains come about every 20 min during weekday morning rush hour toward Hoboken and every 30 min for weekday morning and weekday evening commutes toward Spring Valley. Weekends trains run about every other hour during the daytime morning into mid-evening. Total end-to-end ride time is about 1hr 35min. The station itself consists of a couple small rooms with a front foyer facing a single lane for passenger drop off/pick up, and back foyer facing the train tracks where passengers can wait. The station isn't always manned, on a Saturday afternoon it looked empty and practically so, since there aren't many passengers exiting at this stop on weekends. The building is a historic landmark and the little clock in front of the building looks like it's been there for at least 50 years. Overall the building appears pretty well-cared for, older though functional. The bricks paving the sidewalk area around the clock are engraved with names of donors. There quite a bit of grassy lawn surrounding the immediate station, maybe a couple acres in total, they could use a good raking and bagging with the amount of dried leaves littered over the grounds from autumn. They've been quite careful about safety even keeping crosswalk flags in a little can for pedestrians to hold so oncoming traffic can see they are crossing the lane in front of the station (didn't see anyone using them though).

I still love that every seat in every theatre has a great view. That's the benefit of small rooms…read more But recently the rooms have not always been clean. Dirty rooms certainly take away from the movie experience. The concessions are still limited to the usual suspects, and that's OK! Prices are definitely theatre prices but they could be much worse. I would still rather come here than some of the big movie theatre chains.

Best small theatre! We need more places like this. Otherwise you'll only have home tv as an option.read more

I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

I love…read morethe beautiful ambiance of the outdoor seating area - its flanked by trees and you can listen to the gurgling sounds of the stream while enjoying your drinks. This distillery is also has grounds you can walk around and explore (not too big though). We took a peek at their aging/storage room with wooden casks while there, as well as their distillery. We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

Saw "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum". Hysterical!…read more It was my first time there, and I would have to say that the talent would rival Broadway. The lead characters were a hoot with their facial expressions and comedic talent. The music was memorable. When I got home I had to massage my face to get the smile off. We had good seats, but the theater is small and could be a bit claustrophobic if you're not on an aisle or near an exit.

"A Comedy of Tenors," written by award winning Ken Ludwig , is the latest play at the little…read morefirehouse theater in Oradell, NJ. This laugh out loud farce is a sequel to Ludwig's tony award winning "Lend me a Tenor". Creating a farce is often compared to the art of "Wok cooking". It is all about the preparation ! Assembling the right ingredients can result in an uproarious, madcap, experience! The play opens in the year 1936, in a luxurious Paris hotel suite! Henry Saunders, an overwrought impresario from Cleveland, is nervously awaiting the arrival of three world famous tenors, the stars of the biggest concert in Paris history. There are only hours left before the concert is to begin. At this point Saunders and his assistant Max see their dreams unravel! Their Swedish tenor abruptly quits , and now they must find a star quality replacement. The evening continues to disintegrate as we meet Tito an older world famous tenor who is afraid he is losing his charisma and fans to Carlo a young acclaimed tenor . Carlo is secretly romantically involved with Tito's wild & crazy daughter Mimi. Tito's hot tempered and passionate wife Maria constantly bickers with him and drives him crazy! Also in this wild and wacky farce are Beppo, an operatic bellhop, and Rakon, a hot to trot Russian soprano and former one night Stan of Tito. Doors slam, false accusations abound, and tempers and jealousy flare as the concert approaches without a missing tenor. The action and overreactions are hysterically funny and non stop. In the end the concert goes on and love conquers all! Another superb laugh a minute evening combined with audience participation and some charming operatic arias from the tenors... Beautifully staged, wonderful acting and a highly enjoyable evening! Kudos to BCP ,Howard, and the cast and crew!
