Reply With QuoteIf he's newly single he is more than likely to be on the prowl so I would say Hoboken. Lots of swingle bars etc. Why is 35 too old for Hoboken, anyway?
What's wrong with that? Is that like catering to crack addicts? Vampires?Originally Posted by TheCity

YW City. Hoboken is more chic/desirable so it will appreciate faster.
The median age is something like 35, so he will fit in. As long as he doesn't hang out at bro bars like Lana and Bahama Mamas, there are plenty of places that cater to an "older" crowd.
In my 9 years living in Hoboken, the amount of baby carriages has exploded ten-fold. So if anything, it seems to be catering to people with toddlers and babies.
N.J.’s 14th Street Viaduct Set For Replacement
N.J.’s 14th Street Viaduct Set For Replacement
December 3, 2010
By Carolina Worrell
After deeming Hoboken, New Jersey’s 14th Street Viaduct structurally deficient and functionally obsolete despite its history, Hudson County selected Stantec along with consultants, Trans Systems and T.Y. Lin International/Medina to complete a replacement design for the 100-year-old viaduct.

Currently, the 14th Street Viaduct stretches almost ¼ of a mile and rises over 70 ft carrying over 20,000 vehicles per day. It is also considered an iconic landmark in the Hoboken skyline and a result, the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office required certain steps to be taken to have the replacement structure appropriately reflect the context of Hoboken’s historic district.
Stantec’s Rochelle Park, New Jersey and New York City offices were responsible for everything required for the project except for the actual viaduct structural design, performing the topographical survey, the site/civil grading and drainage and roadway designs, utility relocations, roadway lighting, traffic signal designs as well as all of the context-sensitive architectural treatments necessary for the bridge. These components include parapets, roadway and bridge lighting, fences, piers, pier caps, beams and girders, abutment faces, portals and wing walls, sidewalks and steel colors along with any public art and pedestrian amenities.
Stantec’s urban designers and landscape architects also helped Hoboken and Hudson County determine the programming for the eventual use of the four-block long area underneath the viaduct. The design includes space for events such as flea markets, green markets, and community movies as well as multi-recreational space for basketball, roller and ice hockey and other urban park elements that were requested by the community including painted games, a younger child playground and a dog park.
The $40 million 14th Street Viaduct Replacement project is currently undergoing federal review and has not yet gone out to bid but construction is scheduled to begin in early 2011 with completion slated for mid 2013.

This is great!! It'll also benefit Jersey City and Union City which it connects Hoboken to.
The easier it is to drive or walk between the heights and Hoboken, the better that area will become (not just the one row of houses with NYC views).
The projects and warehouse district no longer dominates Western Hoboken, there is no reason JC should still be so frumpy (look around, there are still quite a few slum-lord domiciles in the area...)
What is the status of this plan?
I forgot to show off some the recently completed projects / General pictures in Hoboken...

I am sad I left... but driving through there last weekend and I was questioning my own remorse.
If you did not think traffic could get worse, it did. OI!
It is reminding me more and more of some areas in Queens and Brooklyn!!! (Both good and bad!).
I miss the restaurants though...
Hoboken is very nice for people living in North jersey. I found the night life there sufficient for my needs and the food too. Traffic will always get worse in popular areas. you should be happy there are no flash mobs sprouting up. A good police presence takes care of that.
Tebow is moving to Hoboken;

First he was stalking Mark Sanchez. Now Tim Tebow is little more than a football’s throw away from Eli Manning.
After previously checking out a posh pad in the same exclusive New Jersey golf-course community where new teammate Sanchez lives, the Bible-quoting Jets’ backup (for now) quarterback has opted for more modest living arrangements in Hoboken, NJ — just two blocks away from Manning of the rival Giants.
Tebow has inked a lease deal to rent a two-bedroom pad at 2 Constitution Court, a 13-story luxury condo building overlooking the New York skyline, sources told The Post.
The units can run about $10,000 a month.
Manning, the two-time Super Bowl MVP, and his wife, Abby, live nearby in a condo that he bought for $2.2 million in the luxurious Hudson Tea Building on the waterfront.
There goes his innocent....
