As to the background of the pic, those inexpensive goods from China have to get here somehow; they don't all go by air. Sure, it's not pretty but that's the inner workings of global trade right there, and for the lucky MyTravel world tour passengers, it might be just the sort of Jersey scenery they expect from watching the Sopranos...
Hey, its a working waterfront. And a huge one at that.
Big money and relatively good paying jobs there. New York would've done well to keep some of the shipping traffic of which upwards of 95% now goes to New Jersey.
Lot of railroad activity nearby as well of course.
Doesn't look too bad in nice light actually.
