I saw the Palisades from a speeding AMTRAK train last Thursday and it took me back a year ago this month when I was considering an apartment 20 minutes north of here by the GreyStone MetroNorth station.
From Wikipedia:
“The Palisades are a line of steep cliffs along the west side of the Hudson River beginning north of the George Washington Bridge.”
“They rise nearly vertically from the edge of the river and are among the most dramatic geologic features in the vicinity of New York City. Formed about 200 million years ago when molten magma shot upwards through sandstone, the molten material cooled, solidified and then Hudson River erosion of the softer sandstone left behind the columnar structure of the harder rock that exists today.”
Cool, huh?
That apartment had a Manhattan skyline view...
... and a front row seat on every Hudson River sunset.
But looking back now, I’m glad I chose to be a ClockTowerTenant. I like the ClockTower a lot and I didn’t want to be slave to the MetroNorth schedule, frankly.
But that view of the Palisades sure was nice.
