A dream became reality as Community Lifestyle unveiled The Center in southwest Hoboken, next to the Andrew Jackson Gardens. Once a liquor store, the space has been reimagined as a hub for youth empowerment, creativity and connection.
Friends, family and city officials came out for the grand opening, a celebration of what's possible when a community comes together.
Thank you to the supporters
