ABC Wednesday—C is for "Colgate clock"

This clock has been here in Jersey City,
across the Hudson from lower Manhattan,
for 90 years.  Now it's about to get a makeover.
 Last month, the hands were removed;
ultimately, the whole thing will be
taken down and put back up with a better
foundation, new steel, and LED lights.

    Good idea to let the clock have a makeover. It is so old and deserves to have a new clean face!

    I would much rather see something remade than destroyed.
