Downtown Hoboken has been ruined by dog urine, according to Where is the Remote? Apparently, dog pee is a lot like paint thinner on all those nifty antique street lamps. The gold paved streets, meanwhile, seem to be unaffected.
The Hoboken Housing Authority has been having problems holding onto its executive directors.
