A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Aug 19–25
|
| Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity has officially reached that point where the walk to the park feels like a three-mile hike in the tropics, yet the kids still expect us to push them on the swings. We are collectively staring down the final stretch of summer break, hovering somewhere between "one more pool day" and a desperate need for a school-year schedule. |
In today’s list: | • Grand Street toddler story time | | • Summer block fest returns | | • Church Square Park concert series |
