Mike O. My family live there for over 25 years when Hoboken had a lot of places to work like fabrics and stuff now we can’t afford living there although our parents had the best nostalgia in there
Was born in Hoboken and basically grew up there. Sucks I probably won’t be able to afford to live there in the future, and if I was, it’s just a shell of its past.
By the early 1980s, Hoboken was pretty run down. I remember my friend telling me how his brother just bought a condo there. I thought he was crazy. But by the end of the 80s, the waterfront area was totally renovated, and by the end of the 90s the whole city was transformed into a yuppie paradise.
When people say things like "Hoboken is not in NY but feels like NY"...it feels almost derogatory. It's like what they're really trying to say is that "Hoboken is so great, you wouldn't even know you're in New Jersey"...
Hoboken was a fun place to live & party over 30 years ago.. BooBoos Excaliburs Maxwells East L.A etc etc. It was a cool place ..but greed takes over and nothing stays the same
Hello, I stayed at the YMCA in Hoboken years ago when I used to Ship out with the Merchant Marines I had to take the Sub Way to 14t Street in NYC to the Union Hall where I got the jobs to work on the Ships...later on I moved to 15th to the Seamans and International Guest House in New York City, back then it was 25 Dollars a night....now I believe is about 95 Dollars a night, now I'm retired.....John from North Carolina.
I'm from Hoboken, & knew it back in the day, as late as the 1970's, Hoboken has an awful amount of: Rats, Roaches,& Waterbugs. A Waterbug looks like an extremely large roach with a hard covering, so hard that if a 200 pound person stepped on it, it would not die immediately. However, I have a lot of fond memories of Hoboken, such as Schoenings Bakery, Biggies on Madison St., Mickey Finn's, Howell's Furniture, Geismars Dept Store, Queen's Dept. Store, Campus Records, Policastro's "Marie's" Bakery. Town Lunch on Washington St., The signage said "Colonial",.Fourth St. Park, & lots more.
Did the video mention anything you didn’t know? 😄 I was born and raised in New York and watch all her videos and there’s always something I didn’t know about my own neighborhood.
Interesting video and city! Although the first ice cream cone is actually from St. Louis. “Another claimant, Italo Marchiony, actually received a patent in 1903 for a device to make edible cups with handles. However the patent drawings show the device as a molded container rather than the rolled waffle seen at the Fair. Although paper and metal cones were used by Europeans to hold ice cream and pita bread was used by Middle Easterners to hold sweets, the ice cream cone seems to have come to America by way of ‘the Pike’ (as the entertainment midway of the St. Louis World’s Fair was called).” This is from the Library of Congress.
I Love Hoboken. BUT! It use to be a more family community place. People have forgotten that they burned down apartments to get people out! Arson was rampid! This was done to drive out middle class and low income people. Now it is a town of only rich people who can afford the rent and high priced condos. Even The Clam Broth House, Maxwells and so many wonderful Italian, Spanish, Fish markets and bread markets are done.
Your videos about NYC make me homesick and now this video as I never visited Hoboken all of the years I lived in NYC and that's a crying shame as it's seemingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
HELLO, I USED TO LIVE THERE WHEN I WAS A MERCHANT SEAMAN , I HAD TO GO TO NEW YORK TO THE UNION HALL TO SHIP OUT , I LIVED IN THE YMCA IN HOBOKEN , IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 49 DOLLARS A WEEK , JOHN FROM NORTH CAROLINA , . , .( BACK IN THOSE DAYS , ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO , )
When I was a kid, Hoboken was quite a different place you did not have much an interest in visiting. Place was very beat down. Now you can’t afford a room in the town, let alone a brownstone. Hey news flash..... if you live in Hoboken, you’re not from the city yuppie..... it’s NEW JERSEY...... get over yourself... and the same for Jersey City...... it’s NEW JERSEY
Bike Lanes are for e scooters going the wrong way. Everyone knows that. Sidewalks are for bicycles. Hoboken PD could do a better job enforcing the rules. I'm in Hoboken daily. It's scary to be a pedestrian there.
I was wondering if the strange history of its name would be covered. Sharing a name with a suburban section of Antwerp, Belgium, it kinda feels like it’s namesake back in Flanders-part of a larger metro area, but quite distinctive all the same. However, it wasn’t originally called after that Flemish town; apparently it just happened to sound similar, and was then adopted by Belgian expats.
Hoboken is expensive. It's a bar town, so if you don't drink you'll be bored. Also, Hoboken is segregated. Blacks on the west side of town, white yuppy and millennial types on the east side. Jersey City is more hip.
@Alexi Barona I prefer The Heights, although it is now becoming overly gentrified. I have lived in NYC and San Francisco, The Heights is by far the most diverse place I have ever lived. Hoboken is a place to live if you only want to be around other people like you. I wasn't like that years ago. Money homogenizes places. It's sad people are being squeezed out if the Heights and the south end of Union City. O like that my property value is higher, but the coolness of the most diverse neighborhood in the country is going to suffer. I don't object to the hip pizza place on Palisade, where people line up for 4 dollar slices. It was bound to happen. I do have a problem with tearing down older housing stock, that has character and replacing it with generic modern, souless construction that new people prefer. You move to the hood because it's cool, but then destroy it because you want to remake it to your ideal. People need to mix more. I have awesome neighbors from all over the world, from all economic backgrounds. It's hard to find a place like that.
The projects were built many moons ago from before all the 7953 condos were built. And they weren’t built for segregation it wasn’t like that then, it wasn’t filled with African Americans if that’s where we are going, look back on videos of Hoboken and the projects. It’s not like how they can up and root it elsewhere
Mark Richards The gentrification is going to continue. Today’s college-educated young people want to be in urban areas, as opposed to their parents and grandparents who flocked to the suburbs. You’re gonna see in a lot of cities the poor and working class squeezed out (even in Newark).
May 1960. Eisenhower was still president. My parents came as refugees from Cuba. Hoboken was the first town they lived in. From the stories they told me...Very different then
Original nickname, "The Miracle Mile" Yep, my hometown, the greatest little city in America. Home of Frank Sinatra, Pia Zedora, and many more. Dig it, the best pizza on Earth, the best Italian deli's, who make the best damn Mutz on the planet, restaurants with every kind of food imaginable. The nightlife is incredible, music has always been at Hoboken's core, amazing bands. If you don't have the best time ever, I'll give you your money back, LOL . I live in Maine now, It's nice, always loved nature, but I'm going back this coming Summer for a visit, or perhaps?
You sold me…..I always treated Jersey city and Hoboken as a pass through to get to Manhattan from Jersey. I just told my wife about this u tube clip. Looking at the calendar as I speak to see when we can go.
I just subscribed after having watched several videos over the past few nights. I was born in NJ. I couldn't even afford to come visit now, let alone live there, so I'm letting these videos substitute.
And the south end of UC is the new hot spot for real estate, since The Heights has overheated. I plan to move South when I retire. I hope UC can hold on to it's realness for a few more years. It's a real melting pot wear I live. It's awesome.
Had friends who moved from Manhattan to Hoboken. We went out to their new place for dinner once they got settled in--they had an entire floor to themselves although it was a 3 or 4 floor walk-up railroad style but it felt safe and it was clean (compared to Manhattan), a quick commute into the city where both of them worked. I guess they saved enough (this was a long time ago before rents were quite so high) because after a couple years, they'd saved enough to put a down pymt on a nice house in Forest Hills. Maxwell House still had a working plant there so you could often smell ground coffee in the air. I thought it was a really good place to live, close enough to the city but detached enough to feel like a citified suburb.
Don't knock a walk up. If you want a home with actual character, it's the only way to go. There are some very cool old buildings in Hoboken that have not been remodeled to death.
Why is Hoboken so expensive? My great aunt was born there in 1896. And later in life lived in what is now called the Heights. And in her days her uncle Teddy served as fire chief of Hoboken. It's a beautiful city to visit. But should have affordable housing for low income Folks
People who produce these videos probably don't live anywhere near them example Hoboken is still Jersey and Jersey ain't NYC and NYC ain't Jersey although a lot of individuals.who cant or no longer afford or choose to move from NYC But want to be close to the action live in NJC and other areas of the state and City 💯

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not perish but will have life that lasts forever. For God did not send His Son into the world to say it is guilty. He sent His Son so the world might be saved from the punishment of sin by Him. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. If today you hear His voice harden not your hearts. Now is the time to be saved!
damn i used to live on 5th and jefferson im in VA now i wonder if delfinoes pizza still there lol i remember i went to brandt middle school damn if i had the money i would move back to either hoboken or where i was born jersey city
It still exists, almost went bankrupt several years ago but was saved. Bad reputation though. They say that if you are you brought there you are sure to die. Almost happened to a friend of mine
My parents graduated from Hoboken High School Class of June 1926.My dad was knocked out of bed by the Black Tom Dock explosion in Jersey City in 1916.My mom recalled the thousands of doughboys marching through Hoboken from the train to the ships that would take them to France.The troops used to say"Its either heaven,hell or Hoboken. Hoboken was the major port of embarcation in WW1"
My brother lived in Hoboken while we were in college. It was the best 5 years of my life!
Nice video but it's such a shame that people like myself who grew up in Hoboken as children can't afford to live there or raise our children there.
Mike O. My family live there for over 25 years when Hoboken had a lot of places to work like fabrics and stuff now we can’t afford living there although our parents had the best nostalgia in there
@@btzthooya2684 Hoboken has changed so much in the last 25 years, it's crazy.
That’s pretty much every neighborhood in the tri-state area
@@jalmonte91 yea and it sucks. Way too many people and cars. Takes me 30 minutes to drop my wife off at work 4 miles away.
Yeah that bites. When my brother lived there it was in the 90’s. Rents were a lot cheaper.
Was born in Hoboken and basically grew up there. Sucks I probably won’t be able to afford to live there in the future, and if I was, it’s just a shell of its past.

Hoboken/NJ. Named after Hoboken, Belgium. Such as New Amsterdam after - Delft.
I am from Europe and I have been there 3 times . I like #Hoboken ♥ ♥♥
Dad went to school with Sinatra. Always said he was a thug even back then. LOL!!!! And I live here and the flooding isn't as bad as they make it seem.
Depends what area you live in. The floods are bad
Frank lived at a Boarding House back in those days.
I love Hoboken it’s my Switzerland in NJ 😅

In the mid 70s I was in college nearby and we went yo the clam broth house for good seafood. You were careful wear you parked.
In the mid 70s, Hoboken was a shithole.
Hey gipp how did you forget about Oreos 😫😫😫
Forgot the railhead near the water.
In college in the mid 1970s i egularly took my girlfriend to the Calm Broth house. The sign is still there near Hudson and Washington.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My girlfriend's family lives at the W hotel on the 22rd floor in Hoboken over looking the Hudson River
yum yum
I pass through Hoboken all the time from NYC to NJ where I live nothing what your describing is new lol seen it all 😅
Hoboken is nothing like NY. I was born and raised here...it use to be a family town now yuppies moved in and my town is not the same anymore.
If it's not the same, wouldn't that lend itself to now being more like NYC?
Anyone who's #HBR knows these facts about hoboken don't forget the zipper and oreos #HobokenHasIt
I miss it 😔
Yo I love Hoboken but no one has a clue how to drive around here. And the "bike lanes" don't mean anything.
Paul Mattaway New Yorkers, they think they know how to drive and drive like an assholes
Bike Lanes are for e scooters going the wrong way. Everyone knows that. Sidewalks are for bicycles. Hoboken PD could do a better job enforcing the rules. I'm in Hoboken daily. It's scary to be a pedestrian there.

Hoboken is not always flooded. I've lived there more than 30 years and I can hardly remember any flooding.
If i had the money i wood move out.
HOBOKEN
OH FRANKIE!!!
Number 11, Hoboken had an elevated line.
I live in the heights section of Jersey City and would never want to live in Hoboken. It's too frigging crowded and clogged with heavy traffic.

The Underrated Borough
Wrong, Brooklyn is hip. Hoboken is just safe and nice. People dress the same are mostly status conscious. There is nothing edgy about Hoboken.
We need to replace Staten Island with Hoboken as the 5th borough.
