03.06.10 (posted 03.08.10) - ok, ok. this post won't be about taking a stab at new jersey and reinforcing stereotypes about big hair, the turnpike, the shore, and toxic waste dumps and superfund sites. it's actually a really beautiful state with lots of interesting towns and a scenic coast. besides, how awesome is it that frank sinatra and bruce springsteen were born there? eh, and not to mention that many of my closest friends call it home... so i figure it can't be too bad, right?
this morning i got up early to catch the path train to jersey city. it was quite an interesting ride. who would have thought there would be a mob of "green people" at 10 am on a saturday making their way across the hudson. unbeknownst to me, it was hoboken st. patrick's day parade. well the party certainly started early! haha.
i finally made it to jersey city and came across this interesting building. it was mix matched with bricks of all different shapes and shades. the funniest thing was a small side door that was probably no more than 4 foot tall. however, the detail that struck me the most was the green fire escape that wrapped all around the building. i also noticed a manhole cover that had neon orange spray paint on it. it almost seemed to glow even on a bright, sunny day.
