I wonder if Dock Russell has a rendition of Oh Little Town of Hackensack?

Just in time for the snow plows and the salt trucks to ride over it.

On a job like this the contractor will come back and top it in the spring. Because the excavation was so deep and the soil conditions so poor, you will see a lot of setteling over the coming winter. Come April the Street will look like a mine field. Once the freeze/thaw cycles end then the contractor will return.

Alas, turn back your memory to many long sheet piles ago when you held the brick in your hand: You can sponsor a petition tho the Mayor and Council seeking to change the name of Anderson Street to the Yellow Brick Road.

You refer to the Shadow of God over Anderson Street. Might it be more appropriate to relate your photo to the title of the broadway comedy "God of Carnage"?

Old Homer was down there this morning. Here's hoping that they can tie into a structurally sound trunk line somewheres under the Main Street / Anderson Street intersection. Who really knows the condition of the line that they are tying into.

Basically they have to excavate the target area and determine how A will go into B without getting ambushed by some utilities.

It started off that way until the damn politicians got involved.

From this angle the steel on the truck doesn't look like sheet piles; rather, it looks like two I beams which may be used  as part of a brace to protect work in a deep trench. This could be tricky.

At this point it looks like the contractor has the right manpower and the right equipment  to do the job. You can compare this project to a guy walking into a hospital with a pain in his stomach only to find out that he needs an appendectomy, a heart transplant, a lung transplant, and a liver transplant. After all this the doctors are still waiting for the results of a CAT scan to see if there is anything else that needs replacing before they close this poor soul up.

At least the toothless guy will have a set of pearly white choppers to show for his efforts. If and when the Anderson Street project is ever finished, the underground work will be paved over to remain just another unseen tribute to life in the Big City.

That's outrageous! There are ordinances and regulations on the books protecting the public interest from landscapers, contractors and loud music etc. There is no reason why the Bd. of Ed. can't and shouldn't be held accountable to these same regulations.
There are accoustical engineers who can come in and assess the noise generation coming from the school and develop a plan to ameliorate the problem. The Bd. of Ed. must have a few bucks stashed away in their budget to at least hire a consultant to look at the situation and issue a report on their findings.

If the plot plan and the north arrow are correct, the Terheun House would have been located near the northeast corner of the intersection of Anderson Street and River Street which is now the Johnson Park property rather than on the southeast corner of the intersection in the vicinity of the carwash.

In the words of John Donne many, many long years ago: (Before Metallica)

For whom the bell tolls

It tolls for thee.

Might be a good ending to an impassioned plea to the elected Bd. of Ed.
