A First Look At Hurricane Sandy’s
Destruction of Hoboken, NJ [70 HQ Photos]
By H.Q. Roosevelt / 2 November 2012 / 0 comments
[ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 2, 2012]
If there is a “homebase” of RSVLT.com it is certainly Hoboken, NJ. We sponsored the Back To Hoboken Bar Crawl, threw the official Mumford & Sons concert pre-party and even launched the RSVLTS.com X Hoboken channel. We are pretty devastated by the reports coming out of the Mile Square and now, as the town attempts to clean up, we can finally take a look at the destruction left by Hurricane Sandy. It may look back by the people of Hoboken are resilient and there is no doubt that the city will band together and bounce back stronger than ever.
