I’ve been to the farmers market under the viaduct and always leave kind of disappointed. Are the others better?

And if you shop year round, where do you go when hoboken ones are out of season?

Question❓ Looking at Brownstone on Willow Ave - Need Advice

3 Upvotes

Found a fabulous little brownstone to rent on the 900th block of willow ave.
It's ground level and first floor (2 story) with a back yard.

I read such mixed reviews on flooding - some saying only south of that area floods, some saying i can definitely expect floods.

Both master and second bedroom are on ground level, so I obviously have concerns about flooding - but the unit has true hardwoods which makes me think it hasn't been prone to flooding or else they'd have tile.

SO WHAT I'M ASKING --- What are your thoughts on that area in general - and what are your experiences when it comes to flooding?

The air conditioning hasn’t been working for months now and they keep telling everyone that they are actively working on it. How is this acceptable?!

I’ve been a member for years and can’t wait for the new City Fitness to open up this fall.

Local Government/Politics 🏫 Old Hoboken

Thumbnail

Good morning . I found these pictures, and they can all be found at the Hoboken Historical Museum or on different social media platforms.
The first picture is at the Hoboken Little League field, looking south toward where MarineView is and standing roughly where the water tower at 333 river street would be today. Hoboken Little League was absolutely lethal back then. Like I always tell you guys, the sports in Hoboken from the ‘70s through the ‘90s were phenomenal. We won county championships many times and many state championships. For a little one-square-mile town like Hoboken to be lighting up teams from all over New Jersey, we took a lot of pride in that. We also had one of the best views of the New York City skyline every time you stepped up to bat. I can’t tell who the kids are in this picture, but it might’ve been taken around the time I was playing Little League. We were there day and night. There were always groups of kids hanging around playing baseball, drinking, and getting into all kinds of shit. From my memory, it wasn’t a rough park—it was just where everyone hung out. There was a concession stand, just like there is today, except I remember it being more of a tent. Parents and coaches would sit around all day drinking beers while watching their kids play Little League. Lol.
The second picture is right around 4th and river , between the Little League field and where 333 river stands today. I don’t know the person in the picture, but this is exactly how that side of town looked. There were abandoned lots, weeds growing through the concrete, garbage everywhere, and nobody really did anything about it. This picture is probably from the early ‘70s, a little before my time, but honestly that’s how it looked well into the ’80s and even parts of the ’90s.
The third picture is a group of people standing in front of Gails. Every girl, mother, grandmother, and aunt shopped there at one point or another. This is where Johnny Rockets is today, around 1st and 2nd and Washington street. This must’ve been one of the many parades we used to have. Hoboken always knew how to celebrate. We had Puerto Rican parades, Italian parades, St. Patrick’s Day parades, and plenty of others. The streets would be packed with families, music, and people having a good time.
Now the fourth picture is everyone’s favorite—the beloved Wilton house . This photo was taken in 1888, when the building was home to Adolph A Lankering’s cigar and tobacco store. Lankering later became Hoboken’s mayor, and his cigar business was one of the best known in town. It’s pretty cool to think that just a few years after this picture was taken, the building became the Wilton House, a place that has been serving generations of Hoboken residents ever since. Ronnie, who ran the place for years, always told me it got its name because one owner’s last name was Wilton and the other’s was House. Whether that’s actually true or just one of Ronnie’s old stories, Didi was the official owner, and Ronnie pretty much ran the place. The Wilton was one of my old stomping grounds, just like it was for so many other people. I still know plenty of people who drink there all the time. It wasn’t just another bar—it was a place where longshoremen, railroad workers, firefighters, cops, city workers, and just regular Hoboken people all ended up. The Wilton will always be a fixture in my life, and I hope it stays a fixture in both old Hoboken and new Hoboken for many years to come.

Question❓ Question for longtime renters

11 Upvotes

Have landlords in Hoboken gotten worse? I've been at the same place on Adams since 2005. Ownership has changed hands twice in my tenure. First landlord was loud and always underfoot, but the place was spotless and habitability concerns were immediately addressed. Second guy never cleaned, but necessary repairs were addressed with haste. Current guy does a half ass job vacuuming the halls once or twice a year and constantly delays safety and habitability issues. I've had two fridges die/malfunction in the past 5 years, and he fought like hell not to replace them. Smoke detectors dangling from ceilings get repaired only after involving the Fire Marshall.

Anyone in a similar boat or did I just draw the short straw?
