Hoboken becomes more the cosmopolitan city with its proximity and transportation access.

Over the weekend, it was the unofficial host to the Argentina National Team appearing in the final of the Copa America, the soccer tournament of the Americas celebrating its 100th year.

There was singing and dancing on lower Hudson Street and downtown in the vicinity of the W Hotel as fans came out to celebrate national pride and some of international soccer’s best.

There was even rumor of a famous religious figure. Read More...

Mayor Dawn Zimmer hails from New Hampshire where the state motto is “Live Free or Die.”

Based on the party line politics of distraction, deceit and obfuscation seen in Newark and the Obama Administration, the premise of that proclamation is as dead in Congress as the dozens of Americans recently murdered by terrorists. The agenda taken up is a diversion deemed “common sense.” They must think we’re a bunch of dhimmis.

Americans are anything but safe with the open borders anti-American agenda rooted in place. Illegal immigration is the terminal crisis politicians refuse to address even in the face of repeated Islamic terrorist attacks on our shores. No amount of murders, rapes, or yes, gun violence deters them one iota. This recent five year old child’s rape coming to light involving unknown refugees won’t either coining a term for a new domestic threat: rapeugees. Read More...

The Hoboken body politic enters summer in a period of renaissance with the winds of its newest council members in the first and second wards.

Six months after their arrival on to the City Council, first time council members Michael DeFusco and Tiffanie Fisher are breathing new life into what was considered a terminally toxic political environment.

Gone are the days of KKK attacks on other members to overcome objections to redevelopment scams hidden behind official government housing platitudes.  Read More...

Summer weather is here but there’s things afoot in the Mile Square City. While not quite the city that never sleeps, Hoboken almost always generates items of interest.

The Hoboken City Council on Wednesday approved a plan to install new parking meters citywide in a 7-2 vote.

Council members Peter Cunningham and Ruben Ramos dissented with the latter voicing a vocal no of some length. Councilman Cunningham recently issued a release preferring another option less visibly intrusive in Hoboken’s historic neighborhoods. Read More...
