Politics and City Happenings

• July 4th Fireworks – Were the highlight of the week, with including a few nutty alcohol-infused incidents.

• Will Hoboken traffic only get worse? – As development packs more and more residents into a mile square space?
• Entitled Bike Moms – Teaching kids the (wrong) rules of the road!

Updates & Events

• Hotel Victor – Finally – good bar food at the old Hobson’s Choice space!
• Hoboken Eddie’s – Has great new sauces to liven up your next BBQ.
• Sammy’s Roadhouse – Closes up a less than a year after they opened!
• Clearview Cinemas – New movie debuts, and more (Buy your tickets online!)
• Movies Under the Stars – Continues through the summer.

This week in History

• 1889: The first issue of the The Wall Street Journal was published. Do you trust the “mainstream media” at all these days?

Inspirational Quote of the Week:

“Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way.”
