REMEMBER WHEN?

Gloucester City NJ: On July 14, 2007 the City of Gloucester City held a free rockabilly concert at the corner of Broadway and Market Street, outside Jack’s Bar Grill,(the yellow building) formerly The Twin Bar. The City proclaimed that it was the birthplace of Rock and Roll based on the fact that Bill Haley and the Saddlemen played at the Twin Bar in 1951 and 1952. Haley, who died in 1981 is described by some as “the father of rock and roll.”

The orginators of The Breakfast Club met at the former Jim’s Pizzeria in 2007. Sitting Jack Perschicette, Skip Grandizio, Chas Tourtual, Butch Shaffer, Chas Pitzo, George Cleary, Ronnie Letzus, Harry Walker, Sam Chew, Harry Blymer, Bill Cleary, Ron Raube, Joe Miller, Joe DiGiacomo, Aldie DiGiacomo

Turn Your Clock Back!

Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks “fall back” one hour to 1:00 a.m.

  • Extra Hour: You gain one hour of sleep overnight as the clock repeats the 1:00 a.m. hour.
  • Sunsets and Sunrises: Sunsets and sunrises will occur about one hour earlier by the clock, giving you brighter mornings and darker, earlier evenings.
  • Automatic Devices: Smartphones, computers, and internet-connected devices update automatically, while manual clocks (like car dashboards, ovens, and older wall clocks) must be changed by hand.
  • Who Skips It: Hawaii, most of Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico and Guam do not observe daylight saving time and do not change their clocks.

Man Pleads Guilty to Federal Hate Crimes

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 46, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, pleaded guilty in federal court today to 12 hate crimes charges for using Molotov cocktails to attack members of the group Run for Their Lives and others.

As part of the plea agreement, Soliman admitted that on June 1, 2025, he lit and threw two Molotov cocktails into a gathering of the Boulder chapter of Run for Their Lives, a group that organized walks throughout the United States to raise awareness for hostages still held after the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel. Soliman further admitted that he targeted the group because of the victims’ actual or perceived Israeli national origin and Jewish religion. The attack killed one person and caused permanent and life-threatening injuries to several others.

“No one should be subjected to violence because of their religion or national origin,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “With this plea, we hope to deliver a measure of justice to the victims and their families. The Civil Rights Division remains committed to vigorously prosecuting the perpetrators of bias-motivated violence.”
