15 Monroe St in Hoboken, NJ, birthplace of Frank Sinatra, circa Summer, 2006. The building where Frank Sinatra was born burned down some years ago and there is now a vacant lot there. Next door is an homage museum to Sinatra, named "From Here to Eternity", but it is closed, I was told the owner of the museum had recently passed away.
