Dear Editor: The waterfront has vastly changed since I first moved to Hoboken 16 years ago. I have to say for the most part it has been a marked improvement. When Pier 13 opened a few years ago it was a great neighborhood spot and a fun place for families to spend time. However, what …
Dear Editor: With the upcoming Memorial Day upon us let us take a moment to recall all who had left Hoboken in the service of their country and never returned. We have some beautiful monuments thru out our mile square to remind us of their sacrifice – our Four Chaplains monument at 4th and Garden …
