Any Day in Hoboken

Today was rather chilly in Hoboken and with the cloud cover, it made for a few good pictures of what you might see on any given day in Hoboken.

.
BARS! The singles scene here is widely known. Hoboken was once listed in the Guiness Book of Records as the city with "Most bars in a square mile". (This trivia is found in the "On the Street" section of this page, which also has more facts and trivia than you care to know about Hoboken.)

It's 2:00 on Wednesday afternoon. Jimmy Buffet has nothing on Hoboken!

And age really isn't a factor..

CLEAN! In addition to every street in town being cleaned once a week, Hoboken has city workers who pick up trash 24 hours a day. This is a member of the day crew, and he is just one of dozens of men who have their own push carts, but there are also men just like him driving golf carts with trash cans on the back.

This is the night crew.

I took this shot at 1:00am in front of our apartment.

CHILDREN! But there is one type of litter that even an army of garbage collectors working around the clock cannot keep up with.

Hoboken is a city of strollers, and the sidewalks and streets are a dumping ground for all things loose on a stroller.

GOING TO THE CITY. The PATH (Port Authority Transit) train is the primary means of transportation for getting into New York City from New Jersey, and the train from Hoboken takes about 10 minutes to get to its first stop in the city. While I don't know how many people use the Hoboken station every day, I do know that its first stop in the city has over 49,000 people ride in and out of it each day.

MOM & POP SHOPS. The city has worked very hard to keep the big box stores out of Hoboken, so there are countless specialty and organic stores throughout town.

THE VIEW. And, although I've mentioned it before, the park and pier overlooking the Hudson River toward New York City is my favorite part of any day in Hoboken. Even the cold and dreary ones like today.
