I agree. The smokestacks were an integral part of this building.

Geographically, demographically, and culturally -- a resounding yes.
Politically -- no. Actually, I would consider all of Hudson County as being "The Sixth Borough."

Not defending the owners that don't replace fallen trees, but one reason trees aren't replaced is because it is seen as just another chore that needs to be done in the Fall when the leaves drop.
Also, as was mentioned, too many trees have fallen victim to new driveways.

Stevens Ave. west of Sterling Ave. (in Greenville) is another favorite of mine. Little 1920s-era row houses on a tree-lined street -- on both sides of the street.
There is a service road in back for deliveries and garbage collection; and parking. Yes, there are some nice areas in JC even in Greenville.

Fulton Avenue between Bergen and the Boulevard (in bad old evil Greenville).
This is where I grew up. It hasn't been a part of the rebirth of Jersey City (read "Downtown") but in the 1960s, it was pretty close to heaven. Large old beautiful brick houses, huge old London plane trees, and a new first rate public school. It was Sinatra's neighborhood when he lived in Jersey City. He lived at Audubon Ave. and the Blvd. Typical Fulton Ave. house today... (108 years old and not a sign of a crack.)
