Dear Editor: Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of Hoboken High School’s production of Rent! The students presented a powerful, emotional performance that moved everyone in the audience. We have some incredible talent in our schools, and it was on full display last weekend. Bravo to Hoboken’s talented students and their director Danielle Miller. …
Dear Editor: I truly agree with the letter regarding Sandy preparation. I am a 60 year old woman and once the floods started going down and I was able to get around I too walked Hoboken to obtain information, which the residents in my neighborhood were lacking. No one came, not one politician, city worker, …

Dear Editor: The traffic pattern at Monroe and Newark Streets was revised to alleviate some of the congestion during the rush hours. As I am sure this was done with the best of intent it is flawed. The signage that was installed shows three lanes with the right lane turning right onto Newark Street, the …
Dear Editor: On January 20, 2013, the Reporter printed a letter titled, “Cow’s milk – unfit for human consumption”. I question whether the writer has any nutrition credentials. As pediatricians practicing for over 27 years, we make recommendations for patients according to sound science-based nutrition information that is supported by American Academy of Pediatrics’ 2006 …

Dear Editor: Brick-and-mortar bookstores around the nation are facing some tough times right now. They simply cannot make enough money to stay open. Symposia Bookstore’s model of recycling books in the community has proved to be successful and is copied at this time by several other bookstores around the nation. However, we would have never …

Dear Editor: I and many of my neighbors had a much different impression of city hall’s performance related to Hurricane Sandy than your recent letter writer. We were all completely caught off guard by the storm surge and we cannot hold the government responsible for the damage and lost power. However, the government’s responsibility to …

Dear Editor: If you voted on Hoboken Public Question No.2 (HPQ No. 2) this past November, be aware that Mile Square Tax Payers Assn. is trying do in the courtroom what they were unable do at the ballot box. This past election, just days after Hurricane Sandy struck, was a day many Hobokeners felt justifiably …
Dear Editor: I am a 62 year old life long resident of Hudson County and I am a proud gun owner. Ever since I can remember I have been a proud gun owner. When I was a child I owned a child’s toy guns, proudly. Throughout my life I have owned all types of firearms; …
