A Big Announcement From President Trump!

Big News On Local Shopping, Eating, Browsing!

What's coming behind the wall surrounding the former Bistro at the Cherry Hill Mall? When will the new Dick's House of Sport open at the Mall? And what happens to Branes & Noble Moorestown after Uncle Giuseppe's takes over that space at Eastgate? We've got the answers!

First, our spies tell us that the Bistro (which went bankrupt and has been vacated for months) will be replaced by a new eatery called Maya Bohem, which appears to be a coffee/cafe from Turkey. We're told the targeted opening date is early December. This seems to be a completely new approach for that space, which has served as an eatery of some sort since the Mall first opened.

Second, The new Dick's House of Sport is expected to open on or about November 17, in time for the busy Christmas shopping season. The place will be mammoth and include onsite participatory features, the likes of which have never been available in one place in this area.

Finally, we're told that the Moorestown Barnes & Noble at Eastgate will move into a very large space at the nearby Moorestown Mall.

Uncle Giuseppi's, which will take over the Barnes and Noble space and the next door Pet Smart space is expected to open around this time next year.

America's Ambassador To Israel Speaks Out!

OMG! He Doubles Down On Horrendous Statement!

NOW: Reporters confront NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani with questions about October 7 and his anti-Israel statement about the horrific Hamas attack. "Is there a line that you would add to your statement? Is there one you would take out?" Mamdani refuses to answer either question, instead describing the anniversary as a day of mourning for both sides of the conflict. He then accuses Israel's government of using the Hamas attacks to justify what he describes as an ongoing genocide: "We know that it brings up the most horrific memories for so many in the city, and also, for others, it is a day that is continuing, and it's in the Israeli government's use of it as a justification for a genocide."
