Here’s the view from 30 Hudson Street in Jersey City yesterday as a large 747 used sometimes to transport the President flew low over the Lower Manhattan vicinity scaring people and causing companies to evacuate their premises out of caution. The fly-by was a photo-shoot to update the image of Air Force One that the government had on file and the White House has since apologized for their bad judgment.

I first came across this building back in the winter of 2005 when I made regular trips into Jersey City to the Chan residence. I haven’t seen it in person in a few years, but I remember when I came across it, it seemed to be quite an eyesore because it was in such decay while the buildings around it were so rapidly being developed.
Still, the image of the place stuck with me and just recently I became fascinated with the place again. As far as I know, it still stands and not much work has been done to it (however, the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy is trying to get it restored and reused).
Anyway, I’m probably going to do a go-see later this week (maybe tomorrow) to find out if there’s any way for me to sneak inside. If I remember correctly, the surrounding area is pretty dead and I’m going to have to gauge how busy it might be on the weekends. Crossing my fingers for this one…
