A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Aug 22–28
|
| Good morning, Hoboken. The playground slides are currently hot enough to fry an egg, which is exactly the kind of meteorological hazard we deserve for trying to squeeze the last drops out of August. If your toddler is starting to look like they’ve been dragged through a swamp, rest assured we are all just counting down the days until the air conditioning in the library becomes our primary personality trait again. |
In today’s list: | • VEX Robotics registration opens | | • Summer Block Fest returns | | • Nemo screens at park |
|
| Let’s get to it. |
