Reclaiming the Hudson River Waterfront

But Look! Here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the extremist limit of land. ...No. They must get just as nigh the water as they possibly can without falling in. And there they stand—miles of them—leagues! Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, streets and avenues—north, east, south and west. Yet here they all unite!

-Herman Melville, Moby Dick
