We're gone a little over 6 months -- it was good to see home again. But I wouldn't trade our little piece of heaven here in Florida for the urban life any more, no matter how much I miss diners, Italian bakeries, Costco, and Yankee Stadium.

I've been gone 18 years so you'll probably get more nostaglic as time passes on...I was in the honeymoon phase at 6 months (and 6 years) too!

I probably will. But family is gone or moved away, most of my friends are all over the country anyway, and I really, really, hate snow!

We -do- miss The Lighthouse, though.

Great pix btw, really enjoying them!

Lol, yeah it is debatable, but I agree with you anything past the underpass. There are also some very nice looking houses across from the library and right around the park, they don't look like they belong in Bayonne. It is almost like you teleport to a different town.

i lived on 14th street for awhile and while I didn't feel like I was truly "downtown", I didn't feel "midtown" either - it was like no man's land.

that area near the library does have some gorgeous homes, as does the area around the park (the streets right at the end of Avenue A around 34th street) and the beginning streets of Ave B.

These pictures once again affirm my assertion that Hudson County is the real, 'hidden' sixth borough of NYC, and that if there was any rationality in the world, Hudson County and Richmond County NY would be involved in a 'land swap'. In fact, I would even say, in my fantasy world, that the southern segment of Bergen County, from Fairview up to the cliffs, would also go to NY. NJ wouldn't start until after you hit Overpeck Park.

I agree, IMO Hudson has more in common with NYC than NJ and SI is vice versa.
