It is coming at last. We have to wait a whole year between art festivals but it proves worth the wait every year.
Yippee!
If you have volunteered to help out, tonight there is a staff introduction and organization party at 7 - 9 pm at the site at the Historic Roebling Wire Works.
This huge soaring structure slumbers all year long. When the Art All Night event opens the doors, the building takes on a whole different persona and for just one night, we are the "Happening Place".
Artists and art lovers flow into the city and find their way to one of the City's success stories. This production is living evidence that this city works, art works....ARTWORKS!
ARTWORKS. ART WORKS. Art Works. Any way it works.
Art All Night and Artworks are proof that volunteers and this city can do something wonderful.
ArtWorks...
Art rocks.

Recall Headache Looms
Two days ago it was just an interesting take on the mess at City Hall. Then the Trentonian filmed the Mayor during an interview making a comment that made my heart sink.
"I'm livin' the dream. I'm living a dream." exclaimed Mayor Mack.
If this mayor seems to think that things are peachy-keen and rosy, maybe he should take his glasses off. His years-long dream of wearing the title of Mayor of Trenton tells us that it just a title for him.
Unacceptable.
Today his law director told him adieu after many civilians filed OPRA requests to investigate his political appointees. Mack hassled him unmercifully about the number of inquiries that could result in possible future embarrassment for the Mayor's Office.
Well, Mayor Tony Mack, what ever is the problem here?
What is wrong with proving to your constituents that jobs are indeed going to qualified and law abiding citizens?
Maybe that is just the problem. Maybe candidates are not going to vet out. Maybe they are not going to be found to be law abiding citizens or qualified for their positions.
I am appalled at the can of worms city residents are left holding, squirming and cannoodling at every turn of the road, of every stroke of a pen.
Tony, Tony, Tony, whatever were you thinking?
Let's be realistic.
A recall is going to be tough because the persons signing should be signed up as registered votors. Trenton has had a hassle getting anyone out to vote.
This present mayor was elected with a token number of persons turning out. Coming up with 9,000 signatures is a monumental task for this volunteer recall effort.
But think of what the alternative would be: three more years of a judgement-challenged, egotistical, narcissistic and racist individual whose legacy right now is the quip:
"Happy Pearl Harbor Day!"
Man, sign those recall signatures everyone.
Trenton Rocks.
