Stinky Hoboken
10
July
Hoboken definitely has it’s smelly spots, especially with the current heat wave.
A Hoboken411 reader thought it would be a good poll to start, and will even create a plaque for the winning location!
“Hey I thought maybe a competition for the worst smelling spots in Hoboken would be in order now that summer is here. When the voting is over I’ll print a plaque and post in out front. Perhaps it would get the people responsible off their butts. Pine Sol works well.
My selection would be the corner where McDonalds is located.”
Where do you think the stinkiest place in town is? Here’s a list to get us started.
The smelliest place in Hoboken is:

ELEVENTH STREET SEWER PROBLEM, after several letters to the SEWER AUTHORITY, and PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROBLEM resulted in an entire team of THEIR WORKERS, including trucks, hoses, pumps, silver pipes, pictures of the EVERBROWN TREES, and an entire pump out and clean out of the underground area, has resulted in the disappearance of the odor and a clean-up of the entire system.
I DID THAT and have the paperwork, letters, pictures, etc. including a number to call for the tenants who live here, in case the odor comes back. IT was a big big fight and took a lot of time and effort, but the problem odor has been FULLY ADDRESSED, and corrected. Hopefully it will stay corrected.

Another issue I worked on privately is PARK SAFETY for our children. THE SHOWERS ARE ON AND THE PARK IS FULL OF KIDS. WE WANT TO KEEP IT SAFE, make sure the traffic button to stop traffic works ajacent to the park (ELYSIAN) and keep any undesirable characters which can show up in the summer when there is no school away. Part of the new POLICE contract is going to be safety for our kids. I wish they wouldn’t have paid the SUPERVISORS first, it should be the other way around. Extra police patrols, foot patrols, additional monitoring for the parks especially in the SUMMER when there are more children is a large part of PUBLIC SAFETY here in our town, and crossing the streets near the park is part of that also. So is all of ELEVENTH STREET where I live and work! It takes time, and effort to be a good citizen where you live, and if each of us worked on our own neighborhoods on the problems,and did some green stuff,
(gardening, recycling, garbage pick up, bicycling, walking more, calling up departments in City Hall, or e-mailing the Mayor’s office) this city would be a PARADISE….or at the very least a BETTER COMMUNITY….
There are a Lot of GOOD PEOPLE here who chip in in myriad ways, and it shows….

So if we put ALL THE WORDS in CAPS into sequence, does IT spell OUT a map to the HIDDEN treasure or do you just like to pepper your posts with MELODRAMA?
Now that I’ve gotten my morning bile out of the way, Margaret you make some excellent points. If people did do just a little bit more – pick up a piece of trash here and there, etc. – this town really would be a lot more pleasant.

Not quite. But if you take all her capitalized words in both posts and rearrange them, you do get this:
“I want photographs of the police supervisors showers. We did not keep their pokey street paradise full of authority problem kids. It is fully safe on the eleventh street sewer. Public safety people are good. That slow Mr. Pocci addressed park safety to everbrown trees and problem sewer workers. Elysian eleventh community. Better summer.”

Funny funny stuff.
I vote 3rd and Hudson, Washington, Bloomfield, Garden, etc. The whole of 3rd is poisoned. Buried over something evil, perhaps an old Native American Burial Ground. But really, the sewer system is how old? Maybe it all seeps towards this thoroughfare.
Wish we could bottle it and pump it in to Mayor Robert’s office. See how he likes it.

Speaking of sewage – we were at the JC Target in the middle of heavy rain and the sewage smell was HORRID. Worse than all the Hoboken hot spots combined. I felt like I stepped out of my car directly into the sewer. Then again, I was in JC.
