“The Colgate Clock” is an octagonal clock facing the Hudson river near Exchange Place in Jersey City New Jersey. It is 50 feet in diameter and is currently situated 400 m south of where the headquarters of consumer products conglomerate Colgate Palmolive used to be situated before it left the area in 1985. This is actually the second Colgate clock built in 1924 to replace an earlier clock which was constructed to commemorate Colgate’s centennial in 1906. The original Clock now sits in the Colgate factory in Clarksville Indiana. For those of you who follow my Instagram feed, @nysimages, this clock was located directly behind me from where I took “The Long Exposure Selfie.

"Jazmine was amazing! She took care of me with the upmost respect she was polite, kind, friendly and respectful. She really showed me amazing hospitality- unlike any other I received. This hotel has everything even yoga. I was accommodated with a crib for my baby. She truly went above and beyond especially allowing early check in.
