Did you know legendary
entertainer FRANK SINATRA –
Hoboken’s hometown boy –
would have been celebrating
his 100th birthday this year?
It’s a day I always remember
because Ol’ Blue Eyes and
I have something in
common…we were both
born on Dec. 12! A lot of
centennial celebrations will
be happening to honor
Sinatra, read all about them
in “From Here to Eternity.”
If you live in New Jersey,
you’re most likely a Jets or
Giants fan (Big Blue girl,
here). So it’s a special treat
that we were able to speak
with DEANDRE PHILLIPS, the
director of Communications
for the New York Giants, and
his wife, Randi. The couple
recently moved to Edgewater
and fell in love with its
appeal. They share their
favorite things about the area
in “Home Sweet Home.”
You may not know our
Person-to-Person by name,
but I’m willing to bet you’ve
heard of her website,
