In this episode, I'll recap some of the most popular posts of September, with some podcast-exclusive bits of information thrown in:

* Hurricane Ida hits Rahway

* MVC site to be rezoned

* September reader poll: Favorite bar in Rahway

* Hamilton Stage closed indefinitely

* Pine Street to be vacated,

* Arts Center reopening with new leadership,

* Save The Trees of Rahway,

* Council pursues overlay zone for West Grand Avenue,

Looking ahead at municipal meetings the rest of this month:

* Tuesday, 7 p.m. -- City Council

Two ordinances that were introduced and posted will be up for a public hearing and final adoption: O-38-21, would vacate Pine Street as part of a proposed 14-unit townhouse complex near Flanagan Field and Barnett Street. The project gained approval from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in April but requires City Council to vacate Pine Street, transferring the right-of-way of a public street to a private property owner. O-40-21 would create a West Grand Avenue Overlay Zone (WGO), encompassing 82 properties from St. Georges Avenue to Whittier and Irving streets.

* Oct. 18, 7 p.m. -- Zoning Board of Adjustment

On the agenda is an application seeking to replace the vacant Burger King building on Routes 1&9 near Rutherford Street and East Milton Avenue. The existing footprint of 3,000 square feet would be expanded to 5,000 square feet, of which 4,000 square feet would be used for a convenience retail use selling wine, liquor and beer, and 1,000 square feet for a fast food eatery. A second floor would include 5,000 square feet of office space.

* Oct. 19, 6:30 p.m. -- Alcohol Beverage Control Board

* Oct. 20, 6:30 p.m. -- Redevelopment Agency

* Oct. 28, 7 p.m. -- Planning Board
