Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. River City Street Fair Returns To Hoboken After Being Postponed Due To Nor'easter (patch.com) — Hoboken's River City Street Fair is back on this Saturday along the lower waterfront, with free performances, river education, and a dedicated Food Alley on Sinatra Drive. Families can enjoy youth performances at Sinatra Park, bounce houses on Pier A, and a full main-stage lineup headlined by Cherokee Social. City officials say the revived fair celebrates Hoboken's waterfront heritage while supporting local artists, businesses, and community groups.
2. Hoboken History: The Birthplace of Baseball (hobokengirl.com) — Hoboken's claim as the birthplace of modern baseball comes alive through Elysian Fields history, Alexander Cartwright's innovations, and plaques and bases you can still see around 10th and 11th on Washington Street. The piece also highlights Maria Pepe's trailblazing Little League case and today's vintage-style Hoboken Base Ball Club games, tying national sports history directly back to familiar Hoboken streets.
3. Chip City Cookies Is Closing All Locations, Including Hoboken + Montclair (hobokengirl.com) — Chip City Cookies is closing all of its stores, including the Hoboken shop at 113 Washington Street, after nearly a decade in business. The company cites tough economic conditions and changing consumer habits, meaning local fans will lose late-night access to its oversized cookies and rotating flavors that had quickly become a Washington Street staple since opening in 2023.
4. Middlesex County files suit against energy companies over impacts from climate change (roi-nj.com) — Middlesex County has filed a climate damages lawsuit against major oil companies, joining earlier actions by New Jersey and the City of Hoboken. County officials say storms like Irene, Sandy, and Ida caused hundreds of millions in local damage, far exceeding federal aid. Hoboken residents may see this as part of a broader legal push to recoup climate-related costs across coastal New Jersey communities.
