Today is Hoboken's Memorial Day Parade. Our family was proud to sponsor Red's Hometown Hero banner as part of the celebration. Be sure to look for it on the waterfront when you're in the neighborhood!

I learned recently about the passing of famous Irish accordionist, Paddy Noonan. Red enjoyed recounting how often he went to the City Center Ballroom for Paddy’s live shows in the old days. They finally met in person in the twenty-first century, with Red always interested in buying the latest CD. Paddy was a gentle man, and kind. God Bless Paddy Noonan.

This is a pic of a pic. It’s from Port Newark in the eighties, and rumor has it that there was booze in the trunk for the co-commuters.
