Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Porsche Worth $250K Stolen In Princeton, Police Say (patch.com) — Princeton police are investigating the theft of a 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, worth about $250,000, taken from a Prospect Avenue driveway after someone apparently entered the home to grab the key fob. The locked SUV disappeared sometime between September 13 and 18, with no signs of forced entry and no other items reported missing, and officers have not yet identified any suspects.
2. Sep. 25, 2026 (jerseybee.org) — Princeton will host the NAACP New Jersey State Conference Oct. 2–4 at the Westin Princeton in Forrestal Village, bringing speakers, networking, and a gala to town. The statewide news roundup also flags upcoming webinars on street safety and Medicaid changes, plus a report on delayed nursing home inspections and an ethics probe into Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell.
3. The best apple cider donuts in New Jersey are waiting for you here (njherald.com) — Terhune Orchards in Princeton lands among New Jersey's top apple cider donut spots, with its organic, sustainably grown produce and bakery drawing big crowds. If you're craving fall flavors close to home, you can head to their Cold Soil Road farm for fresh donuts and a stroll through the fields.
4. Princeton U. football dominates Albany for first shutout in five years (trentonian.com) — Princeton football fans just saw a dominant defensive performance at Princeton Stadium, as the Tigers blanked Albany 22-0 for their first shutout in five years. Cornerback Casey Ettiene's key red-zone interception and several big defensive stands anchored the win, while rushing touchdowns from Kai Honda and a short scoring pass from Ty Ciongoli provided more than enough offense.
5. North by Northwest (adapted by Emma Rice) (culturevulture.net) — Emma Rice's playful stage adaptation of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" is slated for a run at McCarter Theatre in Princeton in March 2027. The review notes clever staging and humor, while cautioning that it doesn't fully match the original film's tension, giving locals a sense of what to expect if they grab tickets.
