Return to Hoboken Part 1

My parents left Cuba in 1957 and moved to Hoboken, NJ where I was born. I moved to Miami in 1969 at the age of 6 and returned to Hoboken in 2006 at the age of 43. This is a short clip of my return to my home - 333 Bloomfield Street.

I was born there in 1963 and moved in 1969. My older sister is 11 years older than me. She went to Hoboken High. I'm sure your family knew mine. Small world!!!

What's your last name - I'll ask my mother and my sister if they remember your family. Ours is Milian. My parents moved from Cuba to Hoboken in 1957. My grandmother lived at 309 Bloomfield, right near you. They MUST have known each other. My grandmother moved there in1955 or 56.

Such a wonderful and appropriate piece of music to set to a New Jersey-themed video: "I'm In A New York State of Mind."

That was a REAL NEAT VIDEO! I figured out right in the end when I saw you peeking in the window of that old place that you were...home again. EXCELLENT VIDEO!

Thanks for sharing...I lived in Hoboken from 1953 until 1966. We lived at 209 Willow Ave. Your video brought back lots of great memories, and places I remember well.

Hoboken is whitewashed. now its home of the self centered yuppies.
