It\u2019s been another busy week in Hudson County, and we\u2019ve got all the headlines to get you up to speed. Among the highlights: Hoboken\u2019s 21st Annual Spaghetti Dinner has been scheduled; a Seacaucus police officer talked a man off of a bridge, saving his life; and the Jersey City Council approved cameras to assist with parking enforcement. A special shoutout this week (again) to the Bayonne Little League team who is playing in the Little League World Series and won its first game on Friday, August 21st, and is playing its second game today at 1PM, Sunday, August 23rd. .\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
