Hobokenterminalen

Hobokenterminalen (engelska: Hoboken Terminal) är en av New Yorks storstadsregions och delstaten New Jerseys största kollektivtrafikknutpunkter, belägen på Hudsonflodens västra sida i Hoboken, New Jersey. Terminalen hanterar huvudsakligen pendlartrafik mellan New Jersey och staden New York. Den trafikeras främst av New Jersey Transit med tåg och bussar samt av en tåglinje från Metro-North Railroad, spårvägen Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, PATH-tunnelbanan och färjor från New York Waterway. Historia Platsen har använts sedan kolonialtiden som färjehamn för resande över Hudsonfloden mellan New Jerseys fastland och Manhattan. Härifrån utgick flera landsvägar västerut under 1700-talet och 1800-talet. 1876 konstruerades en tunnel genom Bergen Hill av Morris and Essex Railroad, och vid tunnelns östra ände och flodstranden konstruerades en bytesterminal. Järnvägen trafikerades av Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad som sedermera helt övertog Morris and Essex Railroad. År 1907 uppfördes den nuvarande terminalbyggnaden över jord, ritad av Kenneth MacKenzie Murchison (1872–1938). Följande år, 1908, konstruerades ytterligare en järnvägstunnel och en anslutning under floden via Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (dagens PATH) till Manhattan. Under järnvägserans höjdpunkt fanns fem olika passagerarterminaler för byte mellan järnväg och färja vid flodstranden, men idag är Hobokenterminalen den enda som fortfarande trafikeras. Weehawkenterminalen, Pavoniaterminalen och Pennsylvania Railroads station Exchange Place revs på 1960-talet. Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal har bevarats som byggnadsminne i National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) men lades ned för passagerartrafik 1967. Även Hobokenterminalens historiska del är upptagen i NRHP sedan 1973. 1967 lades färjetrafiken ned då den huvudsakligen ersatts av tunnelförbindelser, men återupptogs 1989 vid nya kajer söder om terminalen. Sedan 2011 har färjetrafiken åter flyttats till det historiska färjeläget från 1900-talets början, som renoverats. I oktober 2012 drabbades New Yorks hamn av orkanen Sandy, som ledde till att den historiska terminalbyggnaden översvämmades och fick stänga för renovering i flera månader. Den 29 september 2016 inträffade en tågolycka vid terminalen då ett NJ Transit-tåg rammade en stoppbock och fortsatte in i stationshallen. Vid olyckan omkom en person och 110 skadades. Efter olyckan har stationsbyggnaden genomgått omfattande konstruktionsarbeten för att återställa perronger och vänthallar.

Jenny Jump State Forest

Jenny Jump State Forest is a state park in the U.S. state of New Jersey operated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Parks and Forestry. It is located in northern Warren County in the northwestern section of New Jersey, on the 1,112-foot (339 m) high, 6-mile (10 km) long Jenny Jump Mountain ridge. The park has extensive hiking trails on the mountainside, featuring large glacial boulders and outcroppings from the Wisconsin glaciation approximately 21,000 years ago. It is said that the park was named after a girl named Jenny, who jumped to her death on Jenny Jump Mountain, while being chased by a Native American. Environment The park's forests are part of the Northeastern coastal forests ecoregion. Facilities The park grounds include the Greenwood Observatory, built by the United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey (UACNJ) in 1995. The observatory is open for public stargazing on Saturday nights April through October. There are several other observatories located at Jenny Jump, including the Brady which houses a 178MM Refractor and a solar observatory. The area is used by many amateur astro photographers as Jenny Jump has some of the darkest skies in New Jersey. The park has camping facilities April to October, and shelters available all year long.

Jersey City Reservoir No. 3

Jersey City Reservoir No. 3 is a decommissioned reservoir atop Bergen Hill in the Heights of Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, situated on approximately 13.8 acres (5.6 ha) just south of Pershing Field. It was built between 1871 and 1874 as part of the city's waterworks system designed to provide potable water to the city, including Ellis Island. Its perimeter wall is in the Egyptian Revival style and pump stations are in the Romanesque Revival style. The reservoir provided drinking water until the 1980s, when it was drained and abandoned for a larger reservoir at the Boonton Gorge. Since that time, a mini-ecosystem has taken root behind the thick, 20-foot tall stone walls: trees, wildflowers, swans, great blue heron, peregrine falcons, and at the center a 6 acres (2.4 ha) lake. This urban wildlife preserve hosts numerous animal and plant species not otherwise found in an urban environment. It was listed on the state and the federal registers of historic places in 2012. Nearby Reservoir No. 1 was located on either side of Summit Avenue and has been demolished. The reservoir reopened on September 17, 2024; the only entrance is on Howie Fink Wy in the middle of the block. The Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance, started in 2002, runs the maintenance and supervision programs necessary to keep the park open to the public every Saturday from May–October. The Alliance also runs summertime programming in arts, music, and recreation to bring new and returning community members to the space. The reservoir is also available for educational visits. The Alliance received the Ted Conrad “Preservationist of the Year” Award in 2005. Renovation Renovations to the reservoir had been on-going since ground broke on April 21, 2021. The project encountered several setbacks, including the discovery of contaminated soil and resistance from preservationists. A bridge allowing for public access started construction in 2024 called the Jefferson Avenue walkway bridge. The reservoir reopened to the public on September 17, 2024. The only entrance is on Howie Fink Wy and the walking trail is open from 8AM-8PM.

Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery

Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery located in Jersey City, New Jersey. It was established in 1829 by the first cemetery company founded in the State of New Jersey and covers an area of 6 acres (24,000 m2). The cemetery is an early example of Garden Style landscape cemeteries. The cemetery fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 2008. A volunteer group has since been founded to maintain the cemetery. The location of the cemetery was used as an ammunition bunker for the War of 1812 and was a site of skirmishes in 1780 during the Revolutionary War. Since 2011, goats are used for weed control during the summer. Events In order to raise funds for the upkeep of the grounds and caretaker facilities, the all-volunteer organization has partnered with local groups to produce year round events. Events include: The Ghost of Uncle Joe – A music and theatrical event that occurs in October Shakespeare in the Park by the Hudson Shakespeare Company. The main Shakespeare company of Hudson County has the cemetery as one of its tour stops on its regular summer tours. Halloween tours Constitution Day – A yearly event that takes place at the end of September celebrating the different eras of veterans buried in the cemetery.

John Ballantine House

The John Ballantine House is a historic house museum at 49 Washington Street in the Washington Park section of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1884 to a design by George Edward Harney and little altered since 1900, it was the home of Jeannette Boyd (1838–1919) and John Holme Ballantine (1834–1895), the son of Peter Ballantine, founder of the Ballantine beer brewery. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture, and for the completeness of the documentary record accompanying its construction and alteration. It is now owned and managed by The Newark Museum of Art, and is open to the public for tours. Description The Ballantine House stands on the west side of Washington Street in Newark, facing Washington Park near its southern edge. It is a three-story masonry structure, built out of salmon-colored Philadelphia pressed brick with sandstone trim and a truncated hip roof. It has an asymmetrical five-bay facade, with a projecting central bay topped by a gable. The left bays have sash windows under shared lintels, while the upper-level right-side windows are set independently. The ground floor right side bay has a projecting polygonal window group. The center entrance is sheltered by a stone portico with rounded arches supported by granite columns with Corinthian capitals. The interiors were provided by the New York firm of D. S. Hess Company, "decorators and manufacturers of artistic furniture". The dining room was hung with part-gilded embossed panels imitating the "Spanish" leather hangings that were popular in Holland and England in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. History John Holme Ballantine became president of the Ballantine Brewery in 1883 after his father died. Ballantine died in 1895 of throat cancer. The architect who provided designs for the house was George Edward Harney (1839–1924) of New York City. At the time of its construction, it was one of the finest of a series of grand houses to face Washington Park. It is now the only one of those left. The family retained ownership of the house until 1920, and it was acquired by the Newark Museum in 1937. The museum also acquired a complete set of bills and records for the house's construction, decoration, and alteration. As a museum At Christmas season, the house is dressed with holly and other winter greens in traditional Victorian style. A brief history of the house, by its curator Ulysses Grant Dietz, The Ballantine House, was published by the museum in 1994 to coincide with the reopening of the house, which has belonged to the Newark Museum since 1937, after a two-year four-million dollar renovation. The Ballantine House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Instituto de Estudos Avançados de Princeton

O Instituto de Estudos Avançados de Princeton (em inglês: Institute for Advanced Study), localizado em Princeton, é um centro de pesquisas teóricas e questões intelectuais. O instituto talvez seja mais conhecido como a residência acadêmica de Albert Einstein, John von Neumann e Kurt Gödel, que emigraram para os Estados Unidos. Outras personalidades de destaque que trabalharam no instituto foram Edward Witten, Robert Oppenheimer, Freeman Dyson, Erwin Panofsky, George Kennan, Hermann Weyl, Paul Erdős, Michael Atiyah e Michael Walzer. Outros institutos de estudos avançados surgiram, baseados em modelo similar ao de Princeton. Desde sua fundação, o instituto não tem ligações formais com a Universidade de Princeton ou com outras instituições educacionais, porém mantém trabalho colaborativo com a universidade. O instituto foi fundado em 1930 e seu primeiro diretor foi o pesquisador Abraham Flexner. Dentre seus ex-diretores, além de Abraham Flexner, temos o famoso físico Robert Oppenheimer, Marvin Leonard Goldberger, Phillip Griffiths, Peter Goddard, Robbert Dijkgraaf, entre outros. Missão Em um ensaio de 1939, Flexner enfatizou como James Clerk Maxwell, movido apenas pelo desejo de saber, fez cálculos obscuros no campo do magnetismo e da eletricidade e que essas investigações levaram em linha direta a todo o desenvolvimento elétrico dos tempos modernos. Citando Maxwell e outros cientistas teóricos, como Carl Friedrich Gauss, Michael Faraday, Paul Ehrlich e Einstein, Flexner disse: "Ao longo de toda a história da ciência, a maioria das descobertas realmente grandes que acabaram provando ser benéficas para a humanidade foram feitas por homens e mulheres que foram movidos não pelo desejo de serem úteis, mas apenas pelo desejo de satisfazer sua curiosidade". O IAS Bluebook diz:O Instituto de Estudos Avançados é uma das poucas instituições no mundo onde a busca do conhecimento por si só é a razão de ser última. A pesquisa especulativa, do tipo que é fundamental para o avanço da compreensão humana do mundo da natureza e da humanidade, não é um produto que pode ser feito sob encomenda. Em vez disso, como a criatividade artística, ela se beneficia de um ambiente especial.Essa era a crença à qual Flexner se apegava apaixonadamente e que continua a inspirar o instituto hoje.
