• South Jersey boardwalk named best Christmas Day walking spot in NJ (courierpostonline.com) — West Windsor’s Mercer County Park Lake Loop has been named New Jersey’s runner-up spot for a Christmas Day walk, praised for its broad, level lakeside paths and convenient loop. A South Jersey boardwalk took the top statewide honor, but the local trail stands out as an easy, scenic option for families seeking a peaceful holiday stroll close to home.

• Zwicker to Stay Put in NJ Senate, Won't Seek to Replace Watson-Coleman in Congress (tapinto.net) — A potential shakeup in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District won’t include State Sen. Andrew Zwicker, who’s decided to stay in the State Senate rather than run for Bonnie Watson Coleman’s soon-to-open seat. West Windsor gets a brief nod as former local mayoral candidate Sujit Singh joins a crowded Democratic field vying to represent the district that includes much of Mercer County.
