The trains in the foreground make up the West Side Railyards, some of the most hotly contested real estate in Manhattan. Beyond that, the mighty Hudson river. Across the river lies Weehawken, New Jersey. Weehawken is infamous because it is the dumping grounds for the Lincoln Tunnel (it deposits angry drivers into and out of the Garden State) AND it is the location where Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr dueled in 1804...to the death (well, to Hamilton's death)!
This stretch of river is also the exact location in which Captain Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger "masterfully" landed the US Airway jet, but a few chilly weeks ago.
Since this side of the island seems to get most of the action, I have very high expectations. If I don't see a miracle on the Hudson, presidential duel, or shocking display of Jersery road rage a month, I will be so disappointed. Seriously? How else can I be expected to work in this environment?!
