MURPHY SAYS COVID-19 VARIANT WILL SLOW REOPENING

Yesterday, Gov. Phil Murphy said that the B.1.1.7 variant of COVID-19 could pose a serious threat to the state's recovery from the pandemic. 50 people here have been infected with it already. "The variant sort of hangs over our head," Murphy said. And by the way — you should consider wearing two masks, health officials said. It's easier to do now, when it's colder. (Patch / NorthJersey)

END OF AN ERA: TRUMP PLAZA GOES OUT WITH A BANG

The Trump Plaza in Atlantic City crumbled to the ground yesterday, in a 20-second collapse. The casino closed in 2014. “I got chills,” Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said. “This is a historic moment. It was exciting.” The rest of it will be removed by June 10.

$250M PLANNED FOR CAMDEN TRANSPORTATION CENTER

The Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden will get a major facelift — $250 million — and it's the facility's first renovation project in over three decades (1989). The "multi-year" project will focus on making transit lines more efficient, improving local safety, and boosting capacity. (TAPinto Camden)

“If you fast-forward some number of years and envision and completely re-imagine Newark Penn Station in the north as a sort of an entry point across the Hudson, and then re-imagine Walter Rand in Camden as an entry point across the Delaware, you've transformed in so many respects those two regions and the state. It's a big deal,” Gov. Phil Murphy said.
