September 2021: Historic Towns

An excerpt from our longtime editor’s farewell:

It’s not easy to say goodbye, but after 13 years (160 issues!) I have decided to step down from the rigors of editing a monthly magazine and all of its related digital versions.

I am endlessly grateful for all of my New Jersey Monthly colleagues through the years—especially my editorial mates. To Kate Tomlinson, our publisher and editor in chief, I say, thank you for this remarkable opportunity and the trust you placed in me.

Finally, I want to thank you, our readers, for continuing to value the printed word. It’s been a privilege to serve you. (If you’d like to get in touch, feel free to email me at [email protected].)
