Can Help with This Haze?

There is a haze that runs down the extreme left edge of the building. Can anyone suggest a method (I'm using CS4) to eliminate it. I'm kind of fond of the image for sentimental reasons and would like to make it as good as I can. Any help is very much appreciated

PS: Anything else you might suggest or add would be apprciated, too!

Brightness and Contrast adjustment layer, increase contrast then paint in the layer mask over the affected area with a low opacity brush until it's fixed.

You did it! Thanks for the help! I'm off to give it a go.

Here's a quick edit with a few simple steps, plus a Topaz Labs preset

I.....hope that you're not serious.

Why would you even post that?

Why not

Why not

Uhm, did you read the OP? You altered the photo dramatically without fixing the addressed issue. You turned it into a drawing.

Topaz Labs? Freaky. Some kind of automated HDR? No matter, thanks for going to the effort. And thanks again HankS. Did the trick. Don't know why I thought it was going to be more complex. Layer mask did the trick.

Nope, just did a small detail preset

I think you need to clean your monitor and back away from those plugins.

..and still with the 'haze' down the LH side

Being a haze problem, I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Local Contrast Enhancement (aka "Clarity").

This has been done with Unsharp Mask: Amount 30, Radius 50, Treshold 0.
Applied globally, no mask.
Slightly overdone, I guess, to point out the effect.

Probably because it doesn't fix the haze.

Still hazy.
