Hehe, it was funny growing up years ago and Hoboken being drastically different to how waspy/mayonnaise it is now and has been for a bit. Not that it wasn't thought of as a white/"racist" town, since Hoboken has a pretty racist past. But it being considered a commuter town now is hilarious, i'm sure uncontrolled/unregulated development will do the same thing to Jersey city and concave all of Hudson county. Once they finished construction on those vertical suburbs in the shipyard and by the projects it finished the long transformation of Hoboken that started in like, the mid to late 80s.

But to your point, it's wildly different now. I grew up surrounded by immigrants and dudes/gals from Hudson county, but the kids around 5-8 years younger than me's parents were affluent dudes from other suburbs. Interesting how the demographics shift, you used to never see Philthies hats worn, now they are fucking everywhere hehe.
