Mike, have you changed something? I don't see images in either my usual browser (Opera) nor Firefox...

'Can't find host' says Safari for the images.

Someone forgot to renew a domain.

I see the images now. And you know something? As a New Yorker (and former resident of Jersey City) I know the arc of the Bayonne Bridge very well, and never dreamed it would look the way you captured it; it's so outstandingly different from everything else in the set, it eclipses the rest.
So I will try extra hard: you've done a great job of capturing some really cool delapidation here. Perhaps I should have taken you along with me for my recent Jersey City foray (see here, I'm sure much would have caught your fancy.) The plumbing/tomato combination is wonderful of course.
JWD!

I remember Acme supermarkets; I thought they all closed.
Great pics as usual, Mike.

After living on LI, in Brooklyn, and in Queens, I ended up in Westcheste. It's very pretty but my eyes are starving for some GRIT. You capture it perfectly. Keep up the great work.

That's Westchester with an "r," by the way.

Lovely stuff as always. What's the crumbling pier building?

sam: The pier appears to be this; I know nothing more.

I dont think thats a "real" Acme.

I too have relocated to Westchester County (from NJ then Brooklyn) and there is a severe lack of delapidated, abandoned and fun things... everything is very stone-church-castle-mansiony which is nice, but I miss NJ. Bayonne's (and Elizabeth's) shipyards and railyards are a great place to shoot (although with Homeland Insecurity, I thought it might be hard to get to certain places)..I am glad you captured some of it! -rg
