7 to 11 shops, not a seven eleven among 'em


The mystery has been solved. Northwest Hoboken is soon to get a new shopping center at 13th and Adams Streets, directly across from our future 5 screen Clearview Cinemas. The shopping center will be one story, seven to eleven stores including a bank (eyes rolling), a liquor store (eyes cross-eyed) and a national coffee chain (eyes not blinking, ever) along with 50 parking spots for all those local residents who like to drive 35 feet from their condo to buy a nice cold 40 ounce and the New York Post. Open by this summer.

Michael Gorman, the developer, mentioned he had the option of going up to 5 stories, including doctors offices, activity centers, etc., however he felt there was a more pressing need for parking.

I've heard comments that this seems misguided. That this is not smart city planning. That this is not encouraging the idea of 'living local'. HH tends to agree. Whatever happened to walking? Every city dweller knows an empty parking lot at night only encourages mischief. Nonetheless, it will be nice to have the additional retail available to us locals.

Also for all your movie obsessives out there - if the DEP approves the movie theater plan shortly, the theater will be built and open for popcorn goodness by the end of the year.
