Lynn and Dorthy, I never lived in Troy or the area but my folks did and did my father's parents. I too remember them talking about Hoboken.

My mother's family did too. My mother grew up on Ida Street and would go over "Hoboken" to go ice skating at Belden's Pond on Pawling Ave. I always thought calling it Hoboken was unique to her family but apparently not. I wonder how that name came to be?? Lynn ===NY-IRISH-GENSOC Mailing List=== Did you pay your 2008 Dues?
