Pictures of 01.22.02 -- A day in Hoboken

Fortunately, the weather cleared rather quickly so that a few days later when Dr Len arrived with this postcard ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221581 we were ready to begin the journey to look for the real Clam Broth house. Along the way, we met this man ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221582 who thought we should have been buying furniture and passed this union member ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221583 and the carpet store with the PMGOA (who used to be the muffler guy, we think) ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221584 ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221585 extolling patriotism. Next, we found the sign ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221586 that would take us to our destination where we first saw this liquor store ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221587 and then were told about the strengths of the place ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221588 as we found a place to park so that we could walk the last part of our journey. We roamed past the shark ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221589 and beyond the cigar emporium ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221590 ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221591 to the first signs ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221592 ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221593 pointing the way. Down the street, our goal ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221594 was in sight as the first signs ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221595 became closer. Soon we were there ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221596 and could record their fingers ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221597 ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221598 ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221599 from all directions. The menu ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221600 had all manner of fish ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221601 with lunch specials ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221602 that kept DrLen ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221603 busy studying his options while I had a Guiness ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221604 and his sat ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221605 waiting for him to choose. I had the egg salad sandwich with fries, ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221606 the one vegetarian thing on the menu. He had the soup ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221607 and crabcakes. ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221608 The waitress ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221609 claimed to not be photogenic as she took this picture ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221610 of us. I got pictures of the aquarium behind the bar ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221611 and their selection of liquors ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221612 as we left for the Bake Shop ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221613 with the wedding cakes ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221614 and set off to explore the town.
We first saw the Soup Hut ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221615 which seems to be in the spirit of real soup Nazi. Next, it was the Native American ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221616 advertising wings. Across the street was the soon to be defunct McCrory's. ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221617 As we went further, we saw this dumpster ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221618 but decided not to dive into it. We took pictures of this collection of storefronts. Lallo's ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221619 must have seemed interesting for some reason. The election headquarters ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221620 were for candidates long gone. The Tai Chi class windows ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221621 gave a nice reflection effect of the photographer. Then there were the flag store ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221622 and the Karma Kafe ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221623 which didn't specify which kind of karma they sell and a nail parlor ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221624 which had a very nail parlor-like neon sign. The (closed) antique store had this wonderful ash tray ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221625 for sale as the toy store ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221626 provided nice toys ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221627 and the camera store ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221628 nice artifacts that might be used here ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221629 to take passport photos. A medical store ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221630 warned us about cancer as this lady ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221631 posed with DrLen. This was the sign ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221632 that best incorporated the town's name into their business. And this ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221633 was the required sign claiming to be the city (actually, a the city and maybe even the a the city) where baseball was invented. On the way home, we saw this person sitting by the entrance ../../../Sabbat/01.22.02Hoboken//P1221634 to the Pulaski skyway.
