Maxwell's in Hoboken closing at end of July

[Walk away]

1. I saw everyone from Bruce to Bob Mould and Sugar ar Maxwells.

I can remember breaking up with my boy friend while Dick Dale played surf riffs and celebrating at Sonic Youth's holiday concerts. It was amazing to have your local bar host the best music around in it's tiny back room.

The fondest memories I have are of the locals like Sweet Lizard Illtet and The Marys playing for their friends and Hoboken neighbors back in the 80s and early 90s before the town was overrun by rich drunk kids peeing in doorways and high rise apartment buildings that block the view.

I thought that when Blackwater Books closed it was the end of good thing. This closing officially seals Hoboken's fate as one gigantic bar without enough parking.
