Had this leftover shot from the Uptown Hoboken Development Update post the other day, as I found myself walking under the 14th Street Viaduct which is getting rehabbed.
Seeing the viaduct from this angle, and how exposed the framework was underneath – made me a bit uneasy. Not sure I’d feel to safe driving on it!
Louise & Jerry’s and DC’s Tavern have a lot of things in common. But lately, they’re sandwich board marketing slogans have had the same simplistic vibe: Booze and getting drunk.
Earlier this summer, L&J’s marketed “Alko-haul,” and more recently DC’s invites patrons to come inside and simply “get drunk.”
Perhaps fancy messages are no longer necessary to twist the arm of potential drinkers. On that note, have a great weekend (hic!)

I’m not sure if this girl was resting, sad or just contemplating life in general. But I thought the scene had a compelling amount of serenity on a warm summer afternoon near Sinatra Park.
What struck me as awesome, was the fact that she wasn’t immersed in some kind of digital world – but rather just there with herself. I think that many of us could use some “alone time,” unplugged from the frenetic social world we live in – both online and off.

Mayor Dawn Zimmer called the recently re-opened Sinatra Drive North (an extremely low-traffic thoroughfare) a “vital artery” in Hoboken, yet endorses a bonafide major artery – Clinton Street – to be voluntarily closed when the 14th Street Viaduct is re-built.
Below is a photograph of the “area formerly known as the collapsed road at Sinatra Drive and often incorrectly called a Sinkhole” while it was under repair. Strong steel girders were pounded into the earth, welded & bolted together, ensuring that THIS section probably won’t collapse for a long, long time.
The rest of the area – well, do you like to gamble?

Most people are used to seeing Pier A Park from the west. You see the grass, the long pathway, the NYC skyline in the background.
However, from a different perspective – you can make the park feel very much like an insignificant blob mixed with everything else. From my angle, you can see the Holland Tunnel vent, the Verrazano Bridge, and Jersey City. Doesn’t look so special anymore!
