A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Aug 16–22

| Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity has finally retreated, but my children have apparently decided that the mid-August transition means it is time to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to discuss the upcoming school year. If you are also vibrating with the specific anxiety of a fast-approaching September, I have gathered enough distractions below to keep us all busy until the buses start running. |
