TRENTON, N.J. (AP) β 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 Dec. 12.
The Hoboken Historical Museum has seen a 300 percent 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.
