As the leaves start to turn and we settle into autumn, I'm excited to share some wonderful stories from our community. This issue features the inspiring journey of the Yanofsky family, who moved to Wyckoff during the pandemic to be closer to family and ended up creating something beautiful for all of us with Dear Reader Books and Stationery on Main Street.
We also have Lisa Tragna's delightful tale of discovering pickleball - her journey from tennis player to pickleball enthusiast (complete with YouTube tutorials!) is both relatable and entertaining. Plus, we've got insights on everything from local real estate trends to health tips that'll help you make the most of the season ahead.
Whether you're new to the area like the Yanofskys or looking to try something new like Lisa, there's something here for everyone as we embrace all that fall has to offer in our community.
Enjoy the issue!
