Hoboken questions
If you live in Hoboken, how long have you been here?
Jersey City - almost 10 years [before that almost 6 in Weehawken]
If you live in Hoboken, why do you live here?
Jersey City - cheap rent [paying attention? notice I am not talking about Hoboken?], actually somewhere to park, had been because it was between our commutes that streched even further apart
What do you like about Hoboken?
Jersey City - close to the city [and I don't mean Jersey City], close to Mike [yes one and the same our fearless site creator - I was going to say "creator" but that's just a bit much, he is my age and did not make me]
Hoboken - Symposia community bookstore,
What do you dislike about Hoboken?
Jersey City - dog-and-not-only-dogs' shit on the pavements [sometimes under the quaint signs claiming there is a fine]
Hoboken - I stay the hell away from stuff I'm not into
