~ Halfway down Pleasant Avenue in Maywood, NJ you will find the "Maywood Bakery" !   A well known staple of the town for many years, the store bakes cookies, cakes, bread, and pastries for every palate !                                   My son's favorite cookie when he's been extra good is this one !!       One of my favorite things in this hometown store is the sign behind the counter ! They work hard, smile and give good customer service, and they dont want anyone coming in with a sourpuss on their face !!! LOL !!!       As you can see they provide baked good for every occasion, including catering and customized cakes.     So for terrific desserts, or just a cookie for the road, stop by the Maywood Bakery if you're in the neighborhood !   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

Well the weather Gods shined on Maywood, NJ again for another year, sending glorious sunshine down on the Maywood Street Fair yesterday ! It was my family's first family outing as a 'Four Person Family' ! ...and while our 3 week old Preston decided it was a nice sunny day to take a nap while walking round the street fair, our 3 yr old Spencer, was wide awake and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon - and he won lots of new fun things, including this new smiley friend below ...   There were over 100 Street Vendors, and DJ, face painting, temporary tattoos, trinket and craft stands, a bouncy castle, a rock climbing wall, a petting zoo and pony rides ... and so many varieties of food it was fabulous !                                                 There were carnival games too like this one ....

Following on from my post earlier this year about the restoration of the beautiful Maywood, NJ Train Station, it is that time of year again, when they open the station to the public to view the exhibits and historical artifacts that are on display. In addition, the newly completed renovation of the Caboose is on display, and has a terrific train track and working model train set for all to see ! To get a peek into a time long ago, and how the regular folk of Bergen County used to use the rail system, consider stopping by and seeing the Maywood Station in full restored glory !    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Official Announcement from the MSHC: MAYWOOD STATION MUSEUM OPEN HOUSE ON SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 2009 TO FEATURE U.

In the heart of Maywood, New Jersey, stands a proud fixture ~                                               ~ the Historical Maywood Train Station & Museum !                    Celebrating its rebirth after being renovated 5 years ago, the Historical Landmark adds a touch of 'yesteryear' to this quaint town with its restored makeover which includes some nostalgic advertisements from a different era.                                    **      Originally built in 1872, the last passenger trains pulled into the Victorian-style station in 1966, and since then, the tracks that parallel the station have been used for freight only.                        ** For decades the station sat in disrepair, and was threatened with demolition in early 2002. But the passion for preservation soon took ove...
