Hoboken Week in Review: 2/3/2013

Weekly Recap for Hoboken, NJ – February 3, 2013

Since I don’t watch TV or sports anymore – I actually totally forgot today was the Super Bowl (even though we’ve been covering some of the Super Bowl Catering in Hoboken). So I’ll make a random prediction just for fun (a complete guess): San Francisco 34 – Baltimore 16.

A selection of noteworthy posts for the week ending Sunday, February 3, 2013:

Politics and City Happenings

• Post Sandy Recovery Continues – Hoboken businesses still either rebuilding, or simply empty and for rent again.
• Hoboken roads deteriorating – Seems like city hall is losing grip of the vital infrastructure in this town.
• Space hogs (for the kids!) – If it’s not double-wide strollers, it’s double parking.
• Rockefeller reshaping Hoboken – Uptown Hoboken has started the transformation process.
• Replacement Dog Park – Sandy caused the relocation of our only waterfront dog run.
• 18th Street Light Rail – Would a 3rd light rail stop in Hoboken be of benefit?

Updates & Events

• ShopRite to Reopen – In less than a week!
• Hoboken Trader Joe’s – If rumors are true – one is on the way!
• Ready for a dog? – If so, now’s a good time with Liberty Humane’s February specials!
• Michele La Tour – Hoboken bartender is also a rising reporter and media personality.
• Midtown Philly Steaks – Cheese Steaks back in Midtown Hoboken!
• Clearview Cinemas – Catch a flick if you don’t care about football.

Inspirational Quote of the Week:

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
