Reply to comment by PsychologicalAd1153 in Jersey City industrial dumping grounds 1970s by Brudesandwich

Yeah. The whole area was abandoned rail facilities lousy with illegal dumping. Including just north of what's now LSP from the canal almost to Grand.

Not sure what you're arguing. Can you pinpoint the photo location?

I cannot but I just don't think it's NORTH of LSP given you can see some buildings along the East River. I travel often to Bayonne and run LSP enough to sense where it is. I was also a real estate broker in NYC and have a keen sense of locations.

This was definitely not Aetna Street.

But the turnpike is to the right.

Look at the map. There's only one area where you can put WTC in a frame with the turnpike curving to the right. And we know the image isn't flipped because WTC is to the left of 1 NY Plaza and the Battery.
