A busy week lies ahead for Parsippany.
Patch continues its weight-loss campaign and wants you to consider the benefits of getting fit too.

We're in love and we love love, so it's never too early to get Valentine's Day events going, if you ask us. Clearly the Parsippany Free Public Library agrees: Its Mt.
