I  held an open house at 9 Cleveland In Morris Plains.  We had 9 guests.  I was there until 5:30 hosting buyers.  By the time everyone had left with the time change, I was picking up my signs in the dark.   Even though someone knocked down one of my directional signs, I still had one of the highest attendences at an open house for this home.  I have had plenty interest in this home from growing families with 2 to 4 kids that need more room.   And wow what interest have we have had.  I had two families in the house at the same time. 

The Morris Plains  Halloween Parade was again a huge success.  There where a ton of  kids of all ages in attendance.  It was nice that Halloween fell on a Saturday. This allowed a lot of families to participate.  Maybe it could be held on the Saturday before Halloween from now on.  I will make that suggestion to the Rec Department.  It was nice that the rain was kind enough to hold off until the end. 

Halloween night at my house was busy  we ran out of candy.  I had to borrow a box of Swedish Fish from my neighbor.  Thats whats nice about this town, on a dark rainy Saturday night you can always turn to one of your neighbors in an emergency.  Things where pretty much over by the time the World Series was about to start.  

Don’t forget to visit the Morris Plains Museum.  The Museum can be found behind the Community Center.  It is open on Saturdays between 10 and 2.  Don Meyer and his staff have done a wonderful job presenting the history of Morris Plains.

 Another thing that has been weighing on my mind is that back in 1963,  Mayor Paul Bangiola had the foresight to purchase an option to buy the land, with his own money for Community Park.  This unselfish act gave the town the time to work out the financing to allow them to buy the land.  This Park that all residents of the town have come to enjoy is the Crown Jewel of Morris Plains.  I think the town should honor Mayor Bangiola for his foresightedness and his community involvement by dedicating this park to  Mayor Bangiola and by changing the name to “The  Paul Bangiola Community Park at Morris Plains”
