Anthony Buccino to lead Walk & Talk in Nutley Parks

NUTLEY, N.J. -- Leaving his keyboard and camera for a brisk morning walk, local author Anthony Buccino will lead the Walk & Talk through Nutley parks on Sunday, 8:15 a.m., Aug. 12, 2018.

Enjoy a refreshing three-mile round-trip walk from the pre-opening Nutley Farmers Market through Nutley parks along the Third River to Kingsland Park and back.

A Nutley resident for four decades, Buccino and will talk at brief intervals about Nutley history, the Nutley Sons honored throughout the Memorial Parks, Nutley notables, the Kingsland Manor, the Vreeland House, and growing up near these parks in the good old days he’s written about in several of his books.

Folks who want to only walk are encouraged to do so at the risk of missing out on historic tidbits.

The author has published his fifth book about town, Nutley Snapshots In Plain View, volume one of nearly 200 photos around the township. His other books include Nutley Notables, Nutley Sons Honor Roll, Belleville and Nutley in the Civil War and Yountakah Country. Copies are available online. Bring along your copies of his book for him to sign at the end of the walk.

Skipping the morning walk on a scorching summer Saturday

This morning I skipped my daily walk. I didn’t skip instead of walk, I didn’t walk at all as I have been walking every morning all week. It could be that today is hotter than it’s been, but in the morning, it’s not so hot, so, that’s a lame excuse. And I didn’t skip the morning walk because I’m lame.


Zamboni, our chocolate Labrador Retriever, and I took his short morning walk. It’s short in distance but not in time. He turns ten in a few days and for him, a short distance is a now a long walk. It’s after I return him to the house and settle him in that I then embark on my own long walk over a long distance.
