Fund for Better Waterfront Benefit Brunch Cruise
On Saturday morning, I joined the Hoboken grassroots organization Fund for a Better Waterfront for their first-ever benefit brunch cruise, along the Hudson River. Here’s my recap, and my photos, for hMAG.com. And yes, I’ll take full responsibility for the headline.
The Jubilee Center of Hoboken
I first learned of Hoboken’s the Jubilee Center in 2008, when one of Yo La Tengo’s Hanukkah fundraiser shows at Maxwell’s raised money for the after-school program and summer camp for underprivileged children. All these years later, I was honored to write an article about the Jubilee Center for the March/April issue of hMAG.
Meet a Punk-Rock Future Pastor
My tailor friend Yvonne suggested I talk to Jil Bucceroni, the parish administrator at St. John’s here in Hoboken. I’m really glad she did, as Jil is quite the cool character. Here’s my interview with her from the January/February issue of hMAG.
Frank Sinatra Walking Tour in Hoboken
These brown bucks were made for walking, so that’s just what I did. In honor of Frank Sinatra’s upcoming 100th birthday, I took the Hoboken Historical Museum’s self-guided Sinatra walking tour. And, shockingly enough, I wrote up my humorous observations for the December issue of hMAG.
Meet Eddie Clemens of the Agency Group
Here’s an interview I conducted for the September/October issue of hMAG. Was interesting to talk with someone involved in booking concert tours at a level far above the indie shows I obsessively attend.
FBW’s 25th Anniversary
A terrific nonprofit group I do a little volunteering for here in Hoboken is the Fund for a Better Waterfront. On Thursday, October 22, they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary, with a gala at the local Elks Club. I wrote a short preview of the event for hMAG.com.
Rockin’ Joaquin: A Pre-Hurricane Playlist
hMAG.com asked me to create a Joaquin-themed playlist, which I also annotated. Stay safe, everybody.
Build a Better Railyard?
Today on hMAG.com, I have an article about the redevelopment of the NJ Transit terminal and railyard in Hoboken. Specifically, I cover an alternate plan for this project drawn up by the nonprofit Fund for a Better Waterfront.
Little City Books in Hoboken
Very excited to have a new independent bookstore in Hoboken. (Now I just have to write some books.) Here’s a short article I wrote for hMAG covering Little City Book’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.
