Sinatra is from Hoboken. So is my mother's side of the family. My great aunt used to babysit "Old Blue Eyes." People ended up in Hoboken because they landed on Ellis Island, a stones throw away and had nothing but a suitcase. When "we" got a few bucks together we moved to Jersey City. With gentrification the rents have jumped way up. And if you can't afford Jersey City you surely can't afford Hoboken.
