Hoboken celebrates Sinatra’s 100th birth anniversary

The mile-square New Jersey city where Frank Sinatra was born is finding the centennial of his birth to be a very good year.

Throughout 2015, Hoboken has remembered its native son with outdoor screenings of his movies, a Sinatra Idol competition and concerts that will be capped by a centennial birthday bash on December 12.

The Hoboken Historical Museum has seen a 300 per cent jump in visitors since opening a Sinatra exhibit in early August and has hired extra staff.

The city has named a street, park and post office after the entertainer.

Sinatra died in California in 1998 at age 82.
