A Hoboken penthouse belonging to Jon Corzine, the former chairman of bankrupt MF Global Holdings Ltd., is on the market with a $2.9 million asking price, 11 percent less than Corzine paid in 2008.

MF Global, a New York-based futures broker, filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31 with almost $40 billion in debt after making bets on European sovereign debt and getting margin calls. Corzine, a former governor of New Jersey and co-chairman of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., has been summoned to testify to Congress on Feb. 2 about MF Global’s failure.

Here’s the listing.

The Hoboken St. Patrick’s Parade Committee met earlier this week to discuss what would have been our 26th annual parade. After a long, arduous and sad meeting, the committee has decided to cancel the 2012 Hoboken St. Patrick’s Parade. The City of Hoboken’s inability to protect our spectators, bands and participants led us to this heartbreaking decision.

The historic Hoboken Ferry Terminal reopened Wednesday for the first time since 1967.

Known originally as the Erie Lackawanna Ferry Terminal, it opened in 1907 and operated for 60 years until few commuters used ferries to get to and from work between New Jersey and New York City.

Passengers have been using a barge with a tent on it since ferry service resumed in 1989. As part of the $120 million renovation, commuters will pass through a waiting room that includes original Tiffany glass in the ceiling. The piers were rebuilt and ramps leading to the boats were made handicap-accessible.

The newly renovated NY Waterway ferry facility offers completely covered access from trains to ferries, a direct link to the historic main waiting room featuring Greek Revival motifs in tiled Tiffany stained glass, a real-time passenger information system, and direct access to the Hoboken waterfront esplanade.
