A Blast from the Past

The Maxwell House coffee sign dominated the Hoboken, NJ skyline until the '90s. Ever wonder what's there, now?

The one percenters are moving in. The dockside city that Frank Sinatra called home, where Marlon Brando made his bones in the gritty film drama 'On the Waterfront', where the Hudson Tubes (If you're under 50, read PATH) daily shuttles thousands of Jerseyites under the river to Manhattan now can be yours in a spectacular condo complex called Maxwell Place.


For a mere million and a half you can own a one-bedroom, two-bath beauty with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. Get a ticket to ride the 14th Street ferry a couple of blocks north and you can be sipping coffee in your Wall Street office while the great unwashed are stilling humping it aboard NJ Transit.


Ain't capitalism grand?
