A Walk Through Hoboken with David Hartman and Historian Barry Lewis, aired August, 2003. Eighth in this series for Channel 13, Hoboken, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson, opposite Greenwich Village and Chelsea, has run the gamut of reputations An elegant resort of the 1820's, an industrial boomtown of the 1880's, a rust-belt city by the 1920's, Hoboken began to revive in the 1970's & '80's re-tooling itself for the post-industrial era. Today its population remains varied, & the city itself is a light-filled, low rise and low-keyed alternative to Manhattan's skyscraper culture.
