Dear Editor: With Thanksgiving so close, I wanted to let all of my neighbors and friends in the Second Ward know how grateful I am for their support in the recent council election. Two months ago, I decided to run. I wanted to bring a sense of community back to the residents of the 2nd …
Dear Editor: As Hoboken relentlessly transforms its unique historic structures that were designed for specific necessary purposes to boring luxury condos whose sole purpose is to maximize the developers’ profits, I cannot help but wonder what our cities will look like and how they will be able to function in the future. Today, almost every …
Dear Editor: The Hoboken Quality of Life Coalition takes great pride in sponsoring our candidates’ forums and would like to extend our thanks to the various organizations and people who helped make this year’s City Council and Board of Education candidates’ forums a great success.

Dear Editor: Do you have health insurance? More New Jerseyans than ever before do.

Dear Editor: Yes, we were all there when Hostess, Lipton Tea and Tootsie Roll were churning out their products, and the smell of Maxwell House coffee told us of imminent rain. The jitney, 63 and 21 busses took us to outer lands. Mr. Tom Gaynor was our anchor, the guys were still wearing mandatory ties, …
Dear Hoboken Decision Makers: I have two questions/concerns about recent transportation related issues. First, about the bike share concept, parking stinks in urban environments, biking is a convenient healthy way to get around. I’m sure cost and contracts and other factors the public isn’t privy to come to play but it seems counter productive to …
