Downtown Jersey City Resident the Late Sal Piro, Rocky Horror Superfan
#1
Home away from home
Home away from home


By Tris McCall
Richard O’Brien, Tim Curry, and Susan Sarandon made the Rocky Horror Picture Show a hoot.

Sal Piro made it a phenomenon.

He did not do it from the screen, or from the director’s chair, or from behind a camera, or from the offices of a movie studio. The Jersey City native did it from the audience. Piro, who died at 71 after a highly unusual and consequential career in show business, spent decades as the president of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club. In that role, he helped transform fandom from the passive activity it had been into the creative act that it is today — something akin to artistry.

One of Hudson County's Favorite Authors Does it Again

Home away from home
Home away from home


by Diane Lombardi-Fleming

February 22nd will mark the release of Jon D’Amore’s sixth book, “Me & George.” The Hudson County native once again exhibits his unique and varied style with this new tome. Me & George is a funny, entertaining and informative story that, like his previous five books, does not follow a similar genre, proving the versatility of the author. In addition, and perhaps best of all, it unfolds in New Jersey along the Hudson River, captivating the reader with its familiarity.
