Last July 4th (seen above), Hoboken found itself the top of the heap with great all around views of the Macy's Fireworks on the Hudson and a center of family activities during the course of the day. Reports came in on the overall success of the day, where the town had a steady traffic of families arriving but no problems. May today be as successful with a great day leading into the memorable show celebrating our Republic's 234th birthday.
When the Founding Fathers gathered to devise a government a woman in Philadelphia saw Benjamin Franklin and asked, "Doctor what kind of government have you given us?" and he replied, "A Republic if you can keep it."
Showtime is 9:20. Anywhere along Sinatra Drive is guaranteed to be a good place for the big show.
God Bless America.
