This last sip for you political junkies who just can’t get enough. Don’t worry we won’t make you confess, you know who you are and we know when you pass through. The Wile E Coyote makes one last stop at the Acme company to get some supplies giving you one more holiday surprise: the November mayoral election breakdown by town map via google maps.
Take a look at the 2-6. Maybe the most surprising vote in all the city there.
It’s an interesting breakdown and we’ll leave it to the readers to try to see straight, but yes all that green isn’t just mistletoe. It’s the rampage of a little lady from New Hampshire who can pull off some decent dance moves. Take our word for it, the lady has rhythm and class to spare.
There was some question about the new Zoning Board members and Mile Square View decided it would be good to give some insight into each in our Guest of the Stable series. One candidate, Nancy Pincus was mentioned on NJ.com as not well known so Da Horsey started a new series, called Pony Profile. Nancy Pincus is an architectural designer and graphic artist, and a 13-year resident of Hoboken. After graduating from Cooper Union’s School of Architecture in 1986, her first project experience was The Ellis Island Museum of Immigration, which has influenced her professional persepctive to this day on the thought and care with which architects/builders must use when integrating modern elements or entire modern structures into existing ‘historc’ structures, and neighborhoods.
I’ve moved to Hoboken just over 16 years ago, one week before the birth of the first of my two sons. I’ve been self-employed as a fundraising consultant working with small to mid-sized charities in the NY/NJ area for the last 23 years and teach at NYU’s Heyman Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising. I received an M.B.A. from Baruch College, CUNY after nine years of night school. Locally, I helped found the Elysian Charter School and served as an officer and trustee for a number of years. I am currently active with Hoboken’s Boy Scout Troop, which will be delivering bags of Christmas gifts to needy Hoboken families this week.
Last night city employees got together and let their hair down at the Elks Club for a Holidays party saying goodbye to 2009. It’s been a challenging year in Hoboken and city employees have ridden the tide like a roller coaster. That didn’t stop them from hitting the dance floor.
Things get loose and yes, that’s the mayor herself in red. Jimmy Farina and friend led a dance breaking in the mosh pit Things get more festive, was it the elf that did it? Councilman Dave Mello, Mayor Dawn Zimmer and Corporation Counsel Steve Kleinman
In the best possible Christmas gift Hoboken could have hoped to receive, HUMC has just been awarded $7 million from the State of NJ. The effort was apparently coordinated between Gov. Corzine and Gov.-elect Christie. This is far more than MSV had hoped but we’re sure many people will share in a better Christmas as a result. More to follow….
Update: 5:45 – the release from the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services lists the awards to hospitals across the State. Here’s the criteria listed by the State:
The Wile E. Coyote has put together an accelerated starter program of the Finance Director, Nick Trisante’s presentation on the introductory budget to the City Council. It’s a reduced time snapshot and no, Nick doesn’t really talk that fast but the audio sounds much cleaner. The Wile E Coyote saved you 12 minutes. Thank him later.
City Hall released the following information on the weekend H1N1 vaccinations:
