Efforts ongoing to reopen Cedar Lane theater
The owner of the planned Teaneck Cinemas on Cedar Lane is offering up free movie theater seats as he works to renovate the town's only movie house. Matthew Latten, who signed a lease in April for the former Cedar Lane Cinemas, told Patch last week that work was set to begin to modernize the theater. An initial July opening might have to be delayed until August, he said. The town's Planning Board recently approved a digital LED marquee for the theater. For now, Latten is asking anyone interested in the old seats to e-mail him at teaneckquad@gmail.com. Related News: Follow Patch on Twitter, Facebook and click to sign up for News Alerts. News tip?

HUMC-Pascack Valley CEO Chad Melton wants the hospital to increase bed counts within the next few years, according to northjersey.com. Melton said he doesn't think Bergen competitors will "lose volume" as a result.
With Valley Hospital struggling to modernize its own facilities through a controversial expansion project, a major competitor announced it too has visions of expansion – and it's not even open for business yet. According to a Sunday report on northjersey.com, Hackensack University Medical Center at Pascack Valley is optimistic its new facility will drum up enough business to quickly expand. Pascack Valley Hospital declared bankrupcy in 2007 and has been dormant since. “If we truly have the volume here and the support we think, within the next three years we’ll be looking to add inpatient rooms,” Chad Melton, chief executive of the 128-bed hospital, told the news website. HUMC-Pascack Valley, scheduled to open June 1, is the first for-…

Thank you, Matt Latten, for giving away the seats. Many Teanecker's will treasure them but, in truth, they weren't that comfortable. Who would have guessed that the Ridgefield Park Cinema would close. That should help ticket sales on Cedar Lane. We'll be there. more ›
