The powerhouse made possible the subway system between New Jersey and New York for the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (which became PATH in 1963). The Powerhouse was closed in 1929 and used as a storage place for railroad equipment. In the 1990s, the building was cited by Preservation New Jersey as one of the state’s ten most endangered historic sites. The Powerhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 23, 2001.[1][3] It is located near the Harborside Financial Center and Harsimus Cove on the Hudson Waterfront in an area undergoing much redevelopment. Efforts to stabilize the Powerhouse from further deterioration began July 2009 and will continue thru 2010.”  (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_and_Manhattan_Railroad_Powerhouse" target="_blank">via</a>)</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253778930http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253778930Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:32:00 -0500Jersey Citypowerhouse<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjj2th8KW1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253779671http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253779671Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:32:00 -0500Jersey Cityphotopowerhouse<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjj0fDKtF1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m all for it.</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253778039http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253778039Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:31:00 -0500Jersey Citypowerhouse<img src="http://6.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjiy7ut9y1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>You can’t help but to imagine the history.</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253776431http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253776431Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:30:00 -0500Jersey Cityphotopowerhouse<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjiz92GoZ1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253777224http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253777224Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:30:00 -0500Jersey Cityphotopowerhouse<img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjiwgVWeq1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253775166http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253775166Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:29:00 -0500Jersey Cityphotopowerhouse<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjiveZsYJ1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253774442http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253774442Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:28:00 -0500Jersey Cityphotopowerhouse<img src="http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjenlhp9w1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I believe Trump’s building is ugly compared to the other new construction along the Jersey City waterfront.</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253668947http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253668947Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:57:00 -0500Jersey City<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjb6q08yF1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>So many people have asked me to describe what happened, this shot will explain all.  I took this photo today from the exact spot that I was standing the night of the <a href="http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2009/09/driver_of_car_that_struck_two.html" target="_blank">accident</a>.  Imagine that I was jogging when I approached this intersection, the light being in my favor and I should have crossed the big avenue in front of these two cars.  Though, I stopped abruptly seeing a speeding car come from behind these two cars.  Without applying it’s brakes the speeding car hit the back left side of the second car waiting at the red light and continued on almost full speed right at me?!  WTF?  I was able to take one and a half strides to the right, though it wasn’t enough and the car caught my left side.  I’ll tell you, it’s a real strange feeling to open your eyes on the ground and see your sneaker about fifteen feet away.</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587160http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587160Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:42:00 -0500accidentrecovery<img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjb79NUXV1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s day three of being off the crutches and I enjoyed walking about two miles around the neighborhood today.  I know, I know..  don’t push it too hard too soon, but it felt good, I’m regaining muscle and range of motion so quickly, I’m loving this.  Not too sure why, but my first stop was the scene of the <a href="http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2009/09/driver_of_car_that_struck_two.html" target="_blank">accident</a>.  A bit eerie to see that they still haven’t fixed the fence two months later.  I stood there today, with the beautiful sun shining on my cheeks, and a big smile on my face, though my eyes filled with tears.  Weird.  I believe that it was ultimately out of happiness though I’m still a bit unclear.  No matter, I felt relieved, glad that I walked over there, and I kept that smile on my face for the rest of the day while playing with my new camera..</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587470http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587470Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:42:00 -0500accidentrecovery<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktjb70ZMwP1qz7dlpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s still so bizarre when I look at this photo.  To think, this thing hit me while I was jogging..</p>http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587297http://rhodyram.tumblr.com/post/253587297Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:42:00 -0500accidentrecovery
