Each time you go to Manhattan… Any old movie that has the NYC skyline… Many times over the years, people can’t help feeling a deep deep sadness… Remembering 9/11…
Now there is a museum, a new building, but still, it will never be the same…

Hoboken is part of the New Jersey Gold Coast… In the past a blue collar town, it has become a hip place to live in… It keeps a lot of the early 1900s architecture… Manhattan has a magnificent view from it…
Al and Ida were at Hoboken with their cameras capturing their vision of this town, they gave the pics a “silver toning” which works nicely on the photographs.
