Safety drills downtown this morning

Like first responding Boy Scouts, always trying to be prepared, emergency preparedness drills are taking place all over downtown this morning.

OK, you guys are proficient in air horns. Pretty sure everyone who slept with their windows open last night would say you all get your air horn merit badges. So now will somebody hand those out along with some juice boxes (JohnnyBrand® juice boxes - where the floaters are most likely real fruit) so we can all get back to sleep? That'd be great. Thanks.

The City of Hoboken felt the need to hold an EMERGENCY Quality of Life meeting over their St. Patrick's Day festivities

Now, we agree it's a good thing to meet, and see where things can be done to keep people from peeing off rooftops and double check security. But to have and EMERGENCY meeting when you have a whole year before the next one sounds like political grandstanding.

It's not even St. Patrick's Day proper THIS year and you're holding an EMERGENCY (with Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth) meeting on 2010? Oh that nutty Hoboken.....
