The lead vocal here is actually the brother of Pete Townshend, Simon appearing with Roger Daltry at a live performance.

The improvements include repainting the stop bars, “stop” letter markings, crosswalks, and adding shoulder striping to narrow the travel lane. The purpose of this last measure was to reduce vehicle speeds along the section of roadway.
Below is the complete engineer report leading into tomorrow’s City Council meeting on using this site as a temporary parking location for vehicles moved out of the Municipal Garage schedule for sale August 13th. The report states no maintenance work will be performed at the location and the site may be used to park city vehicles anywhere from six months to five years.
In the never ending saga of how to find your nostrils below the waterline in a pool, 4th ward candidate Tim Occhipinti has now added a clarification at Hoboken Now to go with his earlier criticism on Hoboken411 that the city kept the Boys and Girls Club pool from opening “with no explanation” as stated on his website.
That planted “story” was posted on Hoboken411 and has led to a litany of criticism after stories appeared here on MSV, Hoboken.Patch.com, the Hoboken Journal and Hoboken Now all pointing out numerous contradictions in Tim’s assertion. MSV originally sourced the true facts of the story based on the efforts of Hoboken resident Sean Iaquinto on his website.
No, not the boys you may be thinking but really this a revamped launch and a major website to take the stage in Hoboken’s vast eating and drinking scene.
So no Mickey Rourke is not coming to buy drinks nearby for “all his friends” as he did in Barfly but then again, time marches on even for barflies not watching the clock.

A vote is pending in the NJ legislature on a 2% tax cap advanced by Gov. Christie later today. The vote differs slightly from the Governor’s earlier proposed 2.5% cap where less restrictions on exceeding the limit would be imposed.
Hoboken’s Assemblyman Reuben Ramos should be placing his vote today. You can email him here to indicate your desire on the bill:
Assemblyman Ramos – asmramos@njleg.org
In a twitter last week, Mayor Zimmer thanked both sides of the aisle in working together to push ahead the cap after the State Senate voted to support the cap. A 2% cap would limit the amount property taxes could be hiked in the future. New Jersey unions have been vocal in opposing the cap airing commercials across the state.
Update: On July 8th Mayor Zimmer participated in a State conference call foreshadowing passage, “Just finished conference call with Governor Christie and mayors across state. Thank u to leaders of both parties for this historic hard cap.”
2nd Update 11:30 – An aide to Assemblyman Ramos indicates he will be voting in favor of the cap.
11:35 – Talking Ed Note: With passage of the cap imminent, Mayor Zimmer’s gambit to be first to support Gov. Christie’s tax cap puts her high along with Hoboken on the favorable list with the Governor’s office. Legislation of such magnitude carries with it long memories and Mayor Zimmer was first in Hudson County to get on board hosting the kickoff of the Governor in his statewide tour pitching a tax cap.
This bipartisanship will also be helpful to New Jersey having just managed to cover an $11 Billion budget deficit, that’s billion with a capital B. New Jersey is moving in the right direction, finally.
Spain, a nation to this point of underachievers in the World Cup broke through the wall yesterday with its overtime victory in the World Cup final over the Netherlands. The victory made the nation not only world champion but the first to see defeat in its first match and claim the tournament’s top prize.
Italy the defending champions, lost its first match 1-0 in 1994 to Ireland at Giants Stadium and officially drew 0-0 with Brazil in the final losing on a penalty kicks decider. Da Horsey attended both matches, actually all of Italy’s matches across the US on the way to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. 1994’s World Cup pony express included seven cities and 14 World Cup matches. Number 15, a battle of the lowlands between Belgium and the Netherlands was missed when friends said stay in San Francisco for the weekend instead of taking a red eye from San Francisco to Florida for a match the next day.
