Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Westfield Mixed-Use Property Sells for $5.9 Million (patch.com) — Downtown Westfield's commercial scene just saw a major investment, with the fully occupied mixed-use building at 219-225 East Broad Street selling for $5.9 million. The two-story property, home to tenants like Sweetgreen and Club Pilates, underscores investor confidence in Westfield's strong demographics, retail base, and rail access to New York City.
• Union County K9 Unit Receives Donation To Help Protect Kona (patch.com) — Westfield residents benefit from a safer county K9 response as Union County Sheriff's Office dog Kona receives a donated ballistic vest for protection during deployments. The K9 unit, which serves all 21 Union County municipalities including Westfield, relies on community support to keep its canine partners safe while assisting officers on patrols and special operations.
• Flock cameras being vandalize in Westfield (news12.com) — Flock license-plate cameras installed in Westfield neighborhoods are being vandalized by people who see them as intrusive surveillance, even as police use them to track stolen cars and missing persons. After criticism, Flock's CEO says the company will cut data retention from 30 to seven days and tighten police access, while competitors argue broad data storage isn't necessary.
