Stapleton Continues to Move On and To Acquire A Changed View From Its Train Station




Lately, I've noticed how the view from where I would stand on the Stapleton train station would change each time I find myself there waiting for my train. Ever gradually, the Manhattan skyline has emerged into my easy but myopic view ever since the buildings along the bay were quickly demolished one after the other. The FDNY Marine Building still remains standing, and we're not sure if it will go soon. Actually, I've seen similar views from some houses here in Staten Island. I could see it from the top floor of the house where I live currently. But I'm surprised to be seeing it from the distance where I'm usually waiting for my train to St. George for the ferry to Manhattan. I've noticed the still ongoing construction of the emerging dominant tower that replaces the Twin Towers; its lights are seemingly on all night long. I also see those buildings on the side of New Jersey, which state is really closer to Staten Island than any of those other boroughs of NYC (and we could have been part of New Jersey, but that's another story by itself). Of course, Brooklyn's skyline comes into view, too. I'm eager to see how these developments will go from here on. I heard there will be a promenade to be built along the bay, which can mean more open spaces in our neighborhood. Let's move on with these unclear plans to see all these happening. Soon
