	Hoboken, New Jersey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hoboken was originally an island, surrounded by the Hudson River on the east and a swamp at the foot of The Palisades on the west.
		Hoboken's gentrification has become relatively advanced, though a large base of native residents remains in the city and holds political power.The population of "newcomers" or "yuppies", as they are typically called in the local press, consists of college and post-graduate students, bi-nationals, older artists and, increasingly, well-to-do commuters to Manhattan.
		The Hoboken waterfront is the western shore of the Hudson from Newark Street to Stevens Institute of Technology, sandwiched by the Lincoln Tunnel to the north and the Holland Tunnel to the south, directly across from Lower Manhattan's Canal Street.

	Elysium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In the Renaissance, the heroic population of the Elysian Fields tended to outshine its formerly dreary pagan reputation; the Elysian Fields borrowed some of the bright allure of paradise.
		The Elysian Fields are also mentioned in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams as the home of Stanley and Stella and are a setting in the second act of Elmer Rice's The Adding Machine.
