New Blog - Mile Square View

There is a new Hoboken blogger who posts on my site under the moniker Smarty_Jones. His new blog website is at the URL http://hobokenhorse.blogspot.com/. The name of his new site is "Mile Square View". One of his first articles is a story about Jimmy Breslin an award winning writer on corruption who has been in the area recently and a mock interview Hoboken's very own Mike Russo.

Here is an excerpt of the story:

Word around town is that Pulitzer Prize winner, Jimmy Breslin now 80 is patrolling our streets looking for stories on NJ corruption. He made an appearance at the Jersey City protest earlier this week. Breslin arrives just days after the passing of “On the Waterfront” screenwriter Bud Schulberg. Schulberg had just visited Hoboken last week for a reading of his famous Hoboken based movie.

Now who would Breslin speak to for background on his book in Hoboken? Well how could he not speak to say Mike Russo, Hoboken City Council representative and someone who might know something.

Jimmy Breslin: So Mr. Russo, your father Anthony, former mayor had some run ins with the law.
Mike Russo: My family doesn’t know nuthin about dat. And if we did, it would shed a negative light on Hoboken.
JB: So you aren’t denying that your father was a party to the culture of corruption in New Jersey?
Mike Russo: All I can say is that my family has nuthin to say about no corruption. It would be negative to be talkin about any corruption in Hoboken.
