Fire causes minor damage to new Maplewood restaurant; no injuries reported.
An early morning grease fire caused smoke damage to a Springfield Avenue restaurant early Wednesday morning, according to Capt. Joseph Callaghan of the Maplewood Fire Department. Heavy smoke billowed through Soul Terrific at 1553 Springfield Ave., said Callaghan, requiring evacuation of residents from the second-floor apartments at the rear of the building. There were no injuries reported. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, which was caused by a deep fat fryer that had been left on, Callaghan said. Maplewood firefighters were assisted by the South Orange and Irvington Fire Departments.

Here's what's in store this fall on "the Avenue" in Maplewood.
This fall, five Springfield Avenue businesses will unite to present a new children’s enrichment program combining music, art, imaginative play and physical activity. It’s a perfect example of the kind of business synergy that has become a signature of the Avenue since Maplewood Township launched an ambitious revitalization initiative a decade ago. “We didn't have to look far to get great enrichment programs within a block from our store,” said Susan Donlan, owner of Parteaz. The two-hour drop off program, for 2-5 year olds, will run daily from 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. “Judie from Shakti will teach toddler yoga and Senali from East Side Fitness will teach toddler Zumba,” said Donlan. “Music and More with Kelly will provide music and …

The Post Office site, projects on Burnett Avenue and Springfield Avenue were discussed.
The Maplewood Township Committee agreed this week to pay $20,000 to Columbia University’s Urban Design Lab to conduct a planning and design study for redevelopment of the Maplewood Post Office site. The committee also passed a resolution authorizing a redevelopment agreement for the former Universal Chain site on Burnett Avenue. The Tuesday meeting was more heavily attended than usual, because of the promotion to Sergeant of Maplewood Police Patrolman Niheema N. Gary. Regarding the Urban Design Lab project, Mayor Vic DeLuca said that while the fee was “pricey,” it would help the township to think strategically about the overall plan for the site. “This is the most important piece of land we will develop,” he said.
