Fred Rossi: At the intersection of past and present New Jersey

  1. Fred Rossi: At the intersection of past and present New Jersey Fred Rossi 19:07

At a time when local newspapers across America are struggling, Fred Rossi has worked for the same central New Jersey newspaper for 23 years. He's a lifelong New Jersey resident and student of its history. So, it's no surprise that his book, Jersey Stories: Stories You May Not Have Heard About People and Places in New Jersey, is rich in the history that helped forge New Jersey and the America we live in today. Even if you're not a New Jerseyan, you'll learn a lot from Fred's book. In the meantime, join us for a little chat about the Garden State, past and present. It won't hurt, really.

Fred's book is available by emailing him directly at jerseystoriesnj@gmail.com.

Thanks to John Pizzarelli and Joseph Cosgriff for their permission to use the song, “I Like Jersey Best.”
